We rescued a 2 year old, 60 pound boxer, a year ago. He had severe continuous itching. After our vet diagnosed skin allergies, we tried Benadryl and Prednisone, neither of which did anything to alleviate the itching. We are believers in natural preventative medicine so I started looking for a product that was natural and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg! I found this website with Skin Balance and bought a bottle. Within about 10 days, his itching totally stopped. I started him out at 3 tablets twice a day given in peanut butter. He is now maintaining on 1 tablet twice a day and doing great. Be patient and allow the herbal supplements to build up in their systems. The amount of time it will take to show good results will vary from dog to dog, just like it would with people. I highly recommend you at least try this product and give it a chance to work. Sincerely,
Lora Wallace

I have a blue pit with horrible skin allergies. His underbelly gets flaming red and he licks and scratches most of his waking hours. I tried several homeopathic tinctures and herbs (on which I spent hundreds of dollars) from a holistic vet, none of which worked. He's 68 pounds--I give him 2 pills 2x a day. And his redness is GONE! COMPLETELY. He scratches 90% less than he used to.

My dog had an allergic reaction to our Christmas tree 2 years ago. He started itching his chest so badly that all the hair was gone and his skin was broken and bleeding. Then the worst happened, his eyes almost literally popped out of his head. The vet determined that it was an allergic reaction. We got started right away on SKIN BALANCE, and we've never stopped! I didn't want to give my dog allergy shots, so if a few herbs and vitamins keep his symptoms under control, that makes him and me happy!! The other fantastic side effect is that he never needs a bath! People always comment on how good he smells, not musty like you would expect for a partially outside dog. I attribute it to the SKIN BALANCE!

This stuff smells & tastes BAD. There's no way to hide it in food & the pills are way too large to administer the usual way to a cat.The folks [...] say other cat owners have had success but I sure don't see how!It may work real well for dogs &/ or people but I couldn't even get it into my cat!

My pug is a paw licker. I have been giving him this product for about 2 weeks now. Although the licking hasn't stopped it has slowed down somewhat. I'm hoping after continued use that he will finally stop!
The pills are easy to crush and mix with his dry food.

I have a 12 pound pomeranian that I give these too. I roll it in a little peanut butter and she gobbles it up. Her skin allergies seem to be gone. She used to stink like dirty wet socks 2 days after a bath and her bathing treatments quit working and she hates a bath. She was suppose to get one daily until it cleared up. This started working imediately!

My dog had terrible skin allergies. He was constantly itching. It has been a couple of weeks and this product does seem to be helping. He is only itching occassionaly now as compared to constantly before. Give it a try.

I just moved back to Fl. after having spent the summer up north. Back to the FLEAS! So far no itching on my Sealyham Terrier, who has flea allergies. My fingers are crossed, I have only been back 5 days.

Wonderful product. Help our lab mix. She is no longer itching. I only use half the dose that's called for and it's taken care of her itching and scratching. Thank you!

I have been giving this product to my senior poodle for a little over two weeks now. While it seems to have reduced his biting his feet, I am not sure that it has really helped. I am giving him two tablets per day; he weighs about 23 lbs.

I have been giving Billy, my 6 year old Sheltie, these herbs for about 2 weeks. There has been considerably less scratching & biting especially in his base tail area. Giving herbs is a long-term responsibility. They do not work overnight, and need to be given every day for at least a few weeks, sometimes longer, to see effective results. Be patient.

My Lab stopped scratching sooner than I expected. This is a great product!

Skin Balance has saved my dog from ithcy skin!!! In high allergy months, he used to scratch and bite himself until he bled. He's been on Skin Balance (and other antioxidants coupled with a no grain food) and his allergies are totally manageable now.

Skin Concerns has helped my 10 year old chow
recover from a skin infection that traditional
remedies never really helped. Her skin is healthier and her coat is improving.

This product is amazing. My dog would itch so badly that when he scratched he would cry. Since he has gone on the skin balance his itching is almost gone. I have nothing bad to say about this product and would recommend it to anyone.

My Golden Retriever has very itchy paws, chin, butt. Tried many vets, holistic, allopathic, and many remedies from prednisone (reluctantly) to specially blended Chinese herbs, sprays, shampoos, salves, you name it. Not a food allergy. Seems pollen related. This is the ONLY remedy that gives him real itch relief for any reasonable amount of time without side effects. He doesn't stay up all night chewing his feet, scratching his chin, rubbing his rear-end...and keeping me awake, too! Three tabs in the morning about an hour after breakfast and three in the evening about an hour after dinner does it! He's an 80lb. male...a real dollbaby...and eats the tabs right out of my hand!

Helped my birman/siamese female kitty (long silky hair) tremendously. She had been suffering from allergies and had licked, scratched large areas to baldness. Seemed to alleviate her symptoms well. Her coat grew back (over a few months) thick, glossy and fuller than we'd seen before. Pills (even cut in 1/2) are a bit large to administer but we made it work (lots of post-pill treats)
