The benefits

Fast-Acting Itch Relief: Contains 1% hydrocortisone to rapidly soothe inflammation and stop the itch-scratch cycle caused by insect bites, allergies, or atopic dermatitis.

Skin Barrier Protection: Formulated with chitosan (a natural biopolymer) that forms a protective, hydrating layer over the skin to lock in moisture and support healing.

Medicated Leave-In Formula: Can be applied to localized problem areas or used between full baths without the need to be rinsed off, ensuring prolonged contact with the skin.

Coat & Skin Conditioning: Often includes ingredients like dimethicone to help detangle fur, improve hair manageability, and prevent clinical dryness.

Reduces Secondary Infections: By minimizing the urge to scratch, chew, or lick, it helps prevent self-induced trauma and lowers the risk of secondary skin infections.

When is it suitable?

Allergies: Contact allergies and allergic dermatitis flare-ups.

Bites: Insect bites and stings.

Irritations: Minor rashes, generalized dry skin, and soothing problem areas or "hot spots" between regular baths.

Barrier Support: Cases requiring soothing of the skin barrier without the heavy residue of a typical cream.

What does it contain?

Active Ingredient: 1% Hydrocortisone, which rapidly reduces inflammation, redness, and itching.

Chitosan: A natural biopolymer that forms a protective, film-like layer over the skin and hair coat.

Directions for use

Prep the coat: Shake the bottle well. The conditioner can be applied to a wet, freshly shampooed coat (towel-dried to remove excess moisture) or directly to a dry coat.

Apply to affected areas: Dispense a small amount onto your fingertips or directly onto the pet's skin. Part the fur to ensure the product reaches the skin.

Massage gently: Work the conditioner deep into the skin and hair coat. Do not rinse it out.

Prevent licking: Allow the product to fully dry on the coat. Prevent your pet from licking or chewing the treated areas for at least 20 to 30 minutes so the medication can absorb.
