Is it safe for daily use on skin?
Yes — it’s formulated for regular topical use on dogs and cats. Spot-test first, avoid the eyes, and follow the directions on the label.
How long until I see results?
Most pet parents notice a difference within 2–4 weeks of daily use. Full results build over 6+ weeks — which is exactly why subscribers see the best outcomes.
Directions & dosing
Follow the serving guide printed on every pack. Start with a lower serving for the first few days if your pet is very sensitive, then move to the full daily amount.

Why it works

Cleanses, soothes, protects

Veterinarian-strength 3% chlorhexidine cleans the skin while gentle botanicals calm irritation.

1

Where it flares

Hot spots, cuts and skin folds are where bacteria and yeast take hold.

2

The itch-scratch loop

Infection inflames the skin, your dog scratches, and it spreads further.

3

Clean and calm

Vet-strength 3% chlorhexidine kills bacteria and fungi on contact, while aloe soothes the raw skin.

4

Break the cycle

Applied as needed, it stops the spread and lets the skin recover.

The real-food timeline

What to expect, week by week

Week 1

Settling in

Irritation begins to calm after the first few uses.

Weeks 2–4

Finding balance

Hot spots and redness improve with regular cleansing.

Weeks 6+

Thriving

Skin stays clean, calm and protected with ongoing care.

The clean promise

Everything they need. Nothing they don't.

Every active is listed with its real dose — and we're just as proud of what we leave out.
