Background – The ComPath project is a pan‐European programme dedicated to the monitoring of antimicrobial susceptibility of canine and feline pathogens using standardized methods and centralized minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination. Objectives – To report antimicrobial susceptibilities of major pathogens isolated from nontreated animals with acute clinical signs of skin, wound or ear infections in 2013–2014. Conclusion – Overall, antimicrobial resistance of cutaneous/otic pathogens isolated from dogs and cats was low (1–10%) to moderate (10–20%). For several pathogens, the paucity of CLSI recommended breakpoints for veterinary use is a bottleneck.
