immune support
Natural herbal supplement to help your dog fight many viral, fungal, and bacterial related infections.
Red, itchy skin is more than just an annoying problem in our pets. It negatively affects our pets’ quality of life, can lead to secondary infections, and can even affect our lives as well. Atopic dermatitis, also known as atopy, is one of the most commonly encountered itchy skin diseases for pets in private practice. My own French bulldog, Josie has atopy, so I know how frustrating this disease can be for pets and their human guardians.
Itching is the hallmark of the disease, and in dogs, typical areas it affects are the face, feet, and belly.
Dogs typically develop clinical signs between 6 months and 3 years of age and cats can occur at any age. In dogs, it is heritable and is commonly seen in terriers, retrievers, spaniels, Dalmatians, and English bulldogs.
Complications to Atopic Dermatitis (Atopy)
Itching is the hallmark of the disease, and in dogs, typical areas it affects are the face, feet, and belly. However, in cats, areas affected typically include the head, neck, ears, belly, thighs, and sides of the abdomen. Complications to atopy in both dogs and cats include secondary bacterial and yeast infection, blackening of the skin (hyperpigmentation), and ear infections.
Atopic Dermatitis (Atopy) – Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis of atopy is a diagnosis of exclusion and requires a meticulous diagnostic approach because this disease is mimicked by other diseases. This disease can be seasonal or all year round. Parasite infestation, food allergies, environmental allergies are the main things to rule out as a cause of your pet’s itchiness by your veterinarian.
Treatment of atopy in pets may involve both western and complementary therapies. An integrative approach includes:
- Stopping the itch – this may mean antihistamine medication to stop the itch quickly.
- Managing secondary infections – this may mean antibiotics, medicated shampoos, or antifungal therapy
- Removing offending allergens – environmental control of allergens such as HEPA filters in the house
- Control external parasites- removing fleas, other parasites with anti-parasitic medication
- Diet improvement- a cleaner diet or a hypoallergenic diet.
I recommend the following supplements Felimm, PetOmega 3 and Ouch Away Spray as holistic support for your pets. Felimm is helpful as atopy often comes with yeast. Felimm has some powerful anti-fungal herbs and also helps to detoxify and cleanse the blood. PetOmega 3 provides support for the immune system and helps improve skin and coat conditions. As a topical, Ouch Away Spray is beneficial to help improve the condition.
Treating and managing atopy requires constant, daily attention to your pet. Finding the root of the problem is ideal, but many times it is a disease that must be managed with intermittent medication, a great diet, and supplements. Check out our story of successful natural healing from Atopic Dermatitis here.
Because atopy in pets can be so complicated, it’s a good idea to contact a pet expert at NHV who can help make sure you’re getting the right supplements you need.

Our omega 3 fish oil for dogs is a great source of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid 600mg) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid 460mg) essential fatty acids. This fish oil supplement for dogs is derived from sardines, anchovies and North Atlantic cod liver oil. It is molecularly distilled and cold pressed to improve the bioavailability of the omega 3 fatty acids, and is medical and human grade quality.

Processed pet foods have increased omega-6 fatty acids, and decreased omega-3 fatty acids. The University of Maryland Medical Center states, "It is very important to maintain a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. A proper balance helps maintain and even improve health." Your dog’s body cannot easily make essential fatty acids. It is vital to provide omega 3 fish oil for dogs as an added supplement to your pet’s daily diet.
The American Journal of Veterinary Medicine has published studies on the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids (fish oils) for arthritis and degenerative joint disease in dogs. The studies showed that dogs who were given omega 3 fatty acids had a significantly improved ability to get up from a resting position and marked improvement in walking ability.

Natural Support for Dermatitis, Mange and Skin Infections
Your pup's skin is their largest organ! And because of this, their skin is constantly susceptible to infection, airborne irritants, icky biting insects and much more. Your furkiddo will scratch and bite when they are feeling stressed and have ouchies on their body. This obsessive behavior can introduce unwanted bacteria, whether it is from the environment or your pup’s own body, which can lead to infection. An itchy, inflamed ‘dog hot spot’ can be the end result. If these dog hot spots are left untreated, they can progress to secondary skin infections, abscesses or even metastatic tumors (eg. carcinoma). Ouch Away spray, dog skin infection spray, helps heal inflamed, itchy skin and promotes hair regrowth.
How NHV's Dog Skin Infection Spray Relieves Irritated Skin
Since your pup’s skin is their largest organ, it probably doesn't surprise you that skin issues are the most common health concern in dogs. These include (but are not limited to) dermatitis, mange and skin infections.
Dermatitis in dogs is a hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to a variety of common and typically harmless environmental substances. These allergens include grasses, pollens, house dust mites, or mold spores. Breeds predisposed to developing allergies include Chinese Shar-Peis, Wire Fox Terriers, Golden Retrievers, Dalmatians, Boxers, Boston Terriers, Labrador Retrievers, Lhasa Apsos, Scottish Terriers, Shih Tzus, and West Highland White Terriers. However, any breed (purebred or mixed) can be susceptible to allergies. The areas most affected are generally the paws, face, ears, front legs, and abdomen, but scratching all over the body is fairly common too. Ouch Away Spray for dog skin infections, contains ingredients like Chamomile, Marigold and Aloe vera that cools and soothes wounds, burns and irritated skin while strengthening the immune system.
The most common signs of dermatitis in dogs are:
- Overall itchiness
- Greasy and/or red skin
- Possible foul odor and/or smelly discharge
- Scaly, crusty, and/or flaky skin
- Thickened skin, aka 'elephant skin'
- Darkly pigmented skin (hyperpigmentation)
- Chronic or recurring ear infections
Dog mange is caused by mites and can lead to inflamed skin and nasty sores. Scabies or sarcoptic mange is contagious and is transmissible to humans. Black mange is not transmissible to humans due to it being a genetic condition. Secondary bacterial and yeast infections may develop if left untreated while sores on the skin can build up and release a powerful musty odor. You can learn more about mange and how to help your dog if they are suffering from it in Dr. Cook's article on mange. Ingredients like Rosemary, Tea Tree oil and Lemongrass oil, within the Ouch Away Spray, are effective topically against external parasites, combating skin infections and helping to stimulate fur regrowth (from constant biting and scratching).
