The features

Four reports worth reading first

“My maltese started to grow his hair back over night… yes, overnight! He actually had stubble the next morning. Now his coat is growing in beautifully!”
— Andrea Nichols-Everett
Skin Rescue Lotion + shampoo & conditioner
“The hair regrowth on bald areas is amazing! It's a transformational experience, after spending $3,000 in vet and dermatologist visits.”
— Kyle Shepard, San Diego
“Fleas left our Newfoundland itching and scratching, and in misery with open sores. We tried everything, including all the usual veterinary treatments, but Dermagic's penetrating Hot Spot lotion is the ONLY thing that works.”
— Julia H., Fox Island, WA
“My bulldog has had a rash for a few weeks — her vet said it was allergies, but nothing he suggested helped. I immediately purchased Dermagic and in four days her rash was totally gone.”
— ikiD

Alopecia & hair regrowth

The coat came back

The recovery arc customers describe most often — bald patches slowly re-coating over weeks and months on the Skin Rescue Lotion routine.

“Rusty had hundreds of Mitaban dips and was taking shots to boost his immune system. Nothing was helping, until Dermagic. He's better than he has ever been, and even my neighbours commented on how much hair has grown back. I told my vet about Dermagic too!”
— Julie E.
Douglassville, GA
“Our Dachshund Slinky had terrible hair loss, hot spots, and was miserable. After a very expensive trip to the vet with variable results, we decided to give Dermagic a try. Within a couple of days we could actually see results. It was so fast — and unbelievable that something really worked as promised. Slinky is so happy and playful now.”
— The F. Family
Dachshund · Altamonte Springs, FL
“Thanks to the wonderful Dermagic products, Sundae's back, which has been completely bare for months, now has hair growing! And the bad odour has totally disappeared. I ordered some more tonight.”
— Dr. Felicia J.
Ridgeland, MS
“My Cocker Spaniel Ginger and I wanted to say: Dermagic has really been helpful. Extremely helpful. It has cleared up Ginger's condition tremendously. It is kinda magic. Really appreciate it. Ginger does too. And now her hair's growing back. We'll spread the good word!”
— Tom S.
Cocker Spaniel · Chicago, IL

Hot spots & rashes

The hot spot cleared

Fast-onset acute moist dermatitis — hot spots, scabs, weeping patches. Customers on Hot Spot Salve and Skin Rescue Lotion.

“I have a 6-year-old Westie who about two years ago developed lesions on his nose, and he would rub it on the carpet or scratch until it would bleed. The vet prescribed antibiotics, which made them go away for about a month, then they would reappear. After a couple of visits the vet said she had no idea what they were and suggested a biopsy. Before having the biopsy done I thought I'd give your Hot Spot Salve a try. I purchased a jar, used it as directed for three days, the lesions disappeared, and after two months have not returned.”
— Paul Meshke
Westie
“I rescued a Dogue de Bordeaux with serious skin issues. We tried everything without success, until finding your products. After a few applications of your Hot Spot Lotion, the improvement was remarkable. This product does just what it claims to do!”
— Marie D.
Dogue de Bordeaux · Wharton, NJ
“The Hot Spot Lotion is amazing! Overnight the scabby stuff on my cat's back was gone. I was completely blown away. I have used two different spray-on skin products recommended by a vet that did nothing for her skin, and in one day your product gave instant relief. Thank you so much, Dr Adelia!”
— Lee T.
Edmonds, WA
“Dermagic's Hot Spot Lotion brought my English Bulldog (Lola) immediate relief from itching and what the vet thought was seasonal alopecia on her flanks. Her skin in both areas became more flexible and we noticed her fur has begun to grow back.”
— Jim K.
English Bulldog · Kirkland, WA

Allergies & general itch

The scratching stopped

Owners of dogs with allergies — food, environmental, contact — who report the itching-and-scratching cycle broken after starting the Dermagic routine.

“My poor dog has terrible allergies. The bottoms of his paws will get as red as a tomato and he will chew himself until there is no hair left and the skin is raw. I purchased Dermagic lotion, shampoo and conditioner and it has made him stop chewing completely. This stuff is amazing.”
— K. D'Alessandro
“I purchased Dermagic on the recommendation of several other people who had itchy dogs. I love it and will be buying more. The smell is wonderful and washes and rinses out well. He seems much more comfortable.”
— P. Schuhmacher
“So far good in keeping the fleas at bay. It seems to be working. It's nice to have something natural that works so I don't have to use chemicals.”
— monkeezmaid
“I have a mini-poodle that is black and I have tried numerous products to help with flaky skin. The salt scrub worked the very first time I used it!”
— Kandis, Le Chic Pet
Dead Sea Anti-Dandruff Salt Scrub

Two customer letters

Sometimes owners send us a whole story, not a soundbite. Here are two — kept as they were sent.

Hey, you guys make the best darn Rescue Bar and Lotion ever. I only wish I had known about this stuff a year ago. In super short form: I have a dog with a systemic yeast infection and two more dogs with more minor skin issues. What did I do? Well, I got myself a local bottle of Oatmeal shampoo, a quality product made near in Oregon. But we all know that oatmeal is not what you want to add to a yeast infection… cringe. Boy, I made a mess of my dog. By using an oatmeal shampoo, I fed that yeast real well.

In desperation I turned to Mud Bay here in Ballard/Seattle. The people at Mud Bay are very educated about their products and pet issues. The gal there directed me to your Rescue Bar and the lotion. I also then saw a reference to your bar and lotion on a breeder's yeast protocol.

So right now poor Murphy is going to get at least two if not three baths a week with the Dermagic Rescue Bar. I can tell he feels so much better after. We then use the Skin Rescue Lotion after he is dry — on the underside of his tail where the skin's gone, on the belly on the black spots (yeast), between his toes, arm pits. It's going to be a long haul, no overnight fix. But I am glad to have a safe local product to rely upon.

Thanks so much for making a high quality safe product. I cringe to think of the chemicals that I used to pour onto my poor little guy's skin. Of course the skin is absorbing everything we put onto the dogs. Using safe natural ingredients that actually work is dynamite.

Many thanks from the yeasty crew — Murphy, Pearl and Murrly from Seattle.

Dear Dr Adelia,

I just want to let you know that I am amazed at your Skin Rescue Lotion. It's been two weeks since I started using it on my dog and I can't believe it cleared up all his hot spots so fast. He is all bouncy and active again compared to the miserable dog I knew three months ago. He was itchy all over then, with reddish inflamed skin. He would shiver when I touched him and was generally lethargic. I tried all kinds of anti-fungal cream I could get hold of and some antibiotics from the vet. Nothing quite worked, and if it did, it was very short-lived.

Thank you so much for this wonderful product. What I really liked about it is that it not only heals the hot spots fast, but it is all natural. This gives me the confidence to use it without fear of my dog accidentally licking up some nasty chemical. I am so glad I chanced upon your website.

With warm regards.

A Note on Results

These are individual customer reports. Every pet responds at its own pace, and some skin conditions don't respond to any single protocol. The best predictor of a good outcome is consistency over eight to twelve weeks or longer.

Dermagic products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or replace veterinary care. Always consult your vet about any serious or persistent skin condition.
