Sophie's Border Collie
How to treat your dogs skin allergy
Sophie’s Border Collie has been suffering from a skin allergy that was caused by flea larvae. She treated the dog with our CritterKleen® ‘Natural Skin Repair’ - a natural animal skin conditioner - and its skin issues improved within days.
Sophie’s feedback after using CritterKleen® ‘Natural Skin Repair’ for a few days:
As we run a Certified Organic business, we are extremely conscious of the products we use. The introduction of CritterKleen® has not only helped clear up the dog's allergy within days of applying the product, but it is a natural product we know will not harm the environment nor have any negative health impacts to the dog. We have now started trialing the product on our other farm animals with great success.
How to tell if your dog is suffering from a skin Condition
Skin allergies are often caused by exposure to fleas/ticks, plants, yard treatment chemicals or detergents that can cause the dog’s skin to become irritated. The signs of skin conditions in dogs can vary widely, just like they do in humans. Common signs that indicate your dog might have a skin condition include:
Frequent scratching
Licking
Biting at their skin
Irritation such as redness
Loss of fur
Presentation of hives
Flakey skin
You can prevent your dog from getting skin problems by staying up to date with your flea and tick control. Clean your house and your pets bedding regularly to avoid build-up of allergens such as dust mites. Natural topical treatments like our CritterKleen® ‘Natural Skin repair’ applied can create a protective barrier. If skin problems persist, check in with you vet.

Ruth uses CritterKleen® Natural Skin Repair to regularly clean her French Bulldog’s ears and skin folds. She says Fifi really looks forward to her weekly skin care routine which not only cleans the skin but also protects the skin from becoming irritated.
Dave, a marine researcher from Victoria, sent us some great feedback about our CritterKream®. His German Shepherd pup named Zella had some redness in the webbing of her paws. It was clear that it irritated her.
Jackie’s dog Billie injured herself on some sharp reinforcement steel and received 40 stitches. To aid the healing process, Jackie applied CritterKream® daily and was very pleased with the results.
Keera ran into a sharp structure a little while ago, when she was chasing her toy. She was lucky and only got a scrape and lost a bit of fur. One might think a cut or scrape is no big deal. But any time the skin gets broken, there's a risk of infection.
Paul West (best known from the River Cottage) recently gave his dog Digger a pampering treatment with our CritterKleen® Healing Lotion. Watch the video to see what he says.
