DRAMATICALLY REDUCES ITCHING (PRURITUS) IN DOGS

THE #1 SPECIALISED SUPPORT NUTRACEUTICAL FOR SLO (SYMETRICAL LUPOID ONYCHODYSTROPHY

QUESTIONS
In omega 3 what is the mg equivalent of EPA and DHA per capsule
Each Dermal capsule contains 30mg of EPA/DHA. The split is approximately 50:50. Bear in mind that it is in a phospholipid form and considerably more absorbable and effective than the glycerol (triglyceride) form found in normal fish oil. In fact one capsule of Dermal delivers the equivalent of up to 1500mg of fish oil derived Omega 3 EPA/DHA. You would not need to feed additional Omega 3.
It says nicotinamide is an immune suppressant whereas I thought it actually reduced immune suppression for skin conditions?
Nicotinamide reduces the release of histamine from the mast cells in the skin. Release of histamine by mast cells is an immune system reaction to allergens which can tend to be excessive and overreactive in some dogs. When mast cells detect a substance that triggers an allergic reaction (an allergen), they release histamine and other chemicals into the bloodstream. Histamine makes the blood vessels expand and the surrounding skin itchy and swollen. Hence the itching and discomfort. Bags of information if you google “nicotinamide in mast cells”. So when we say immune suppressant we mean the immune systems response is reduced.
My dog has kidney disease, can we still use Dermal O3 for his skin issues?
Dermal O3 is safe for CKD dogs, the omega 3 fatty acids in it are anti-inflammatory and will have a naturally supportive effect in the kidneys. It’s best to run it past your vet—especially in stage 3–4 CKD.
Is Dermal O3 safe for dogs with Pancreatitis
A low fat diet for a 20kg dog with pancreatitis would be 15-20 grams of fat per day. Two Dermal O3 capsules for such a dog would contain less than 120mg of fat (in the form of phospholipid DHA/EPA). Therefore the fat contribution of Dermal to a low fat diet would be considerably less than 1%. This is negligible and outside the natural fluctuation of the fat content of a low fat diet and the dog’s own metabolic processes. In addition it is considered likely that the additional DHA/EPA fatty acids provided by Dermal O3 would exhibit their anti-inflammatory properties within the pancreas – thus generally reducing the level of pancreatitis. The logical conclusion is that Dermal O3 is safe to give to dogs with pancreatitis and dogs requiring a low fat diet.
My lurcher has a lot of trouble with his claws continually flaking and the splitting causing infection, he is on anti-biotics at the moment but, I would like to know if I should buy BiotinMax or Dermal O3 and what the difference is.
This sounds very like a condition known as SLO & for that reason I'd suggest Dermal O3 - (Symmetrical LUPOID ONYCHODYSTRPHOHY) It is an auto-immune condition that affects your dog’s nails and paws. It is a serious and painful affliction that requires Veterinary intervention, usually anti biotics followed by supplementation. Biotin alone is often recommended but Dermal contains Biotin plus Omega 3s & an immuno-suppressant. BiotinMax is a much less complex supplement. Dermal O3 contains the main three supplemental ingredients used by Vets: Nicotinamide, Fatty Acids and Biotin. As you will appreciate this is not a quick fix so be prepared for the long haul.
Is Dermal Ok to take with prescription medications from the Vet?
Yes, it is compatible with all the regular medications used in this field including steroids and anti-biotics. But you can always check with us for re-assurance.
Is Dermal 03 safe to use on pregnant or lactating bitches?
Yes, Dermal is safe for pregnant and lactating bitches.
How much zinc is in Dermal?
The straightforward answer is 5mg of elemental zinc per capsule. But its complicated as you will see if you read on.........
The maximum RDA (recommended daily intake) of zinc for humans is 40mg. On that basis the recommended level for a dog would be about 15mg. In the case of dogs, zinc content of pet food is controlled by law to ensure a healthy minimum as well.
The amount of zinc we put in Dermal is based upon the need to ensure that the dog is somewhere near the recommended level by compensating for a possible deficiency. The dogs using Dermal will vary in zinc levels, some may be deficient, others not. With Dermal then, we aim to provide most of the elemental zinc required and we leave the dog to obtain the remainder through diet.
Unlike many nutraceuticals too much zinc can be harmful in several ways. Excess is not simply excreted like many vitamins and minerals.
Therefore we are happy that Dermal contains enough zinc to help most dogs achieve a recommended and safe daily level.
