What is Itchy Owie Ointment?

Itchy Owie is all natural and effective. It contains 13 holistic ingredients that work to alleviate discomfort, soothe itch and restore the skins health. When our holistic veterinarians developed Itchy Owie, they researched the natural components that have the greatest ability to rehabilitate common types of skin damage experienced by dogs. They also took into consideration that many pets may lick the product once it has been applied. Safety, as well as effectiveness, went into developing this truly remarkable skin product.

What is Itchy Owie used for?

Just like humans, animals are susceptible to insect bites and stings, to lesions and to dry skin. These can all cause unpleasant, even unbearable, itch and/or discomfort. There may be sensitivities to something in the diet or environment that can cause reactions on the skin of your dog. While every effort and precaution is taken to remove potential causes of our pets discomfort, they also need relief.

A note from our Veterinarian...

Skin problems that persist may be generally considered to arise for many possible reasons:

• Is your pet exposed to toxic materials? 
  Common pest control chemicals in the garden, on the lawn or cleaning products in the home may be causing or contributing to a skin problem. Consider substituting more natural products to see if your pets skin health improves.
• Allergies?
  Allergic dermatitis is a condition seen routinely by veterinarians. Possible allergens can be pollens from weeds, trees or grasses, molds, dust mites found in homes or fleas.
• Are there other health issues?
  Other health conditions such as an underactive thyroid, can have symptoms that show up on the skin. By treating the cause, the secondary skin ailments can be taken care of. A foul odor on the skin is not considered normal and should be examined by a veterinarian. A common cause of smelly skin is yeast infection. Sometimes, reactions to vaccines can exhibit as skin disorders.
• What is your pet eating?
  The most common dietary allergens are wheat, dairy corn, soy and egg. Sometimes, though fairly rare, our pets exhibit an allergy or sensitivity to something in their diet by breaking out on the skin, often on the back at the base of the tail. The skin is one of the bodys organs of elimination. If the body is attempting to eliminate an allergen, the skin can become irritated, red and itchy. Assess the quality of the food you are feeding your pet and also potential ingredients that may be a problem. If you suspect your pet has food sensitivities but you can't figure out what they are, it may be helpful to prepare an allergen free diet at home. Batches of food can be made in advance and kept in the fridge or freezer.
• Is your pet bored, frustrated or irritable?
  Sometimes, psychologically based issues can cause a pet to scratch. Over scratching can lead to abrasions that can become infected.
• Parasites?
  Fleas, mange and ringworm require treatment specific to the type of parasite your pet has. Seek the consultation of your veterinarian for solutions. If your pet has discomfort or parasites such as ear mites in the ears, please see http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/dog-ear-mites Ear Clean Gold and http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/dog-ear-infections Ear Care Gold.

• Plantain leaf (Plantago major)**: This common garden weed is of enormous value for the skin, particularly for the swelling and discomfort normally experienced from bites and stings.
• Marshamallow root (Althea officinale)*: The soothing, demulcent quality of Marshmallow has been shown to help general symptoms on the skin caused by a sensitivity, such as hot spots.

• Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra)*: Applied externally, Licorice has an amazing capacity to calm patches of inflammation and relieve the discomfort associated with swelling.

Base:

• Fractionated Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils for the skin and one that is well tolerated because it is so gentle. It enhances the skins natural immunity to harmful bacteria, viruses and yeast.
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Commonly added to make herbal ointments, Olive oil creates a rich, smooth consistency as well as providing natural components for the skins immunity.
• Beeswax*: A small amount of organic beeswax is heated and slowly added to make an ointment that can be easily applied to the skin, changing a liquid into a solid preparation. Beeswax is mild and safe for general use.
