This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult your veterinarian for specific health concerns or before introducing new supplements to your pet's care routine.
For generally itchy pets, start with the suggested dosage on the chart below. You should see results anywhere from twenty minutes to four days. If not, adjust the dosage upward. When Skin-eze is working, and your pet is itch free and comfortable for a couple of weeks, you can try cutting back on the dosage to the suggested maintenance level. Remember, the following chart is only a GUIDELINE. If your pet becomes itchy again after reducing the dose, you will know that your pet needs to stay on the higher dosage. You want to try and find the minimum dose necessary to control the symptoms. For a large dog, or even a small dog with severe allergy problems, the maintenance level to control symptoms might be four capsules or tablets, two times daily. A very large dog (90-140 pounds) might need as many as six tablets or capsules, two times daily.
Since Skin-eze is an herbal, all natural approach, it is safe to use as much Skin-eze as is necessary to control the symptoms. There are no harmful side effects. Also, the dosing of herbs is different than the dosing of drugs. Herbal remedies often times require higher dosing levels than pharmaceutical drugs.
If your pet has lesions (sores), dry or flaky skin, ear infections (active or a history of this problem), or foul odor, we highly recommend the use of our topicals (Skin-eze shampoo, skin spray, and O3 oil). This will speed up the healing process with the use of tablets or capsules. See FAQ for more information on how to use topicals.
Weight | Suggested Starting Dosage | Suggested Maintenance Dosage |
up to 20 lbs. | 3 tabs, 2 times daily | 1-3 tabs, 2 times daily |
20 lbs. to 60 lbs. | 4 tabs, 2 times daily | 2-4 tabs, 2 times daily |
60 lbs. to 100 lbs. | 5 tabs, 2 times daily | 3-5 tabs, 2 times daily |
100 lbs. and up | 6 tabs, 2 times daily | 4-6 tabs, 2 times daily |
Dogs with seasonal allergies might only need Skin-eze during the itchy months, while dogs with year-round allergies might need to take Skin-eze all year.
REMEMBER, SKIN-EZE IS NOT A DRUG. IT IS SAFE TO GIVE AS MUCH AS NECESSARY TO CONTROL SYMPTOMS (ITCHING). During periods of additional stress (high pollen count, fleabites, etc.), increase dose as needed.
We do not recommend giving Skin-eze to pregnant dogs, just to be safe.
