Guides to the skin conditions Dermagic is most often used for, and to the routine behind every recovery story on this site.
Condition guides
The six conditions Dermagic is most often used for
Each guide is written for owners — what the condition looks like, what causes it, how it's typically approached, and where the Dermagic routine fits in. Educational, not a substitute for veterinary advice.
Dog skin allergies
Environmental, food and contact allergies — how they present, what breaks the itching-and-scratching cycle, and where the four-step system fits in.

Hot spots & skin irritations
The moist, inflamed patches that appear overnight. Identifying them, cooling them down, and stopping the self-trauma cycle before it spreads.

Yeast infections
The signs (paw licking, foul odour, blackening skin), why yeast over-grows in the first place, and the natural anti-fungal routine that clears it.
Read the guide
Black skin disease
Also known as Alopecia X. What owners hear from vets, what the recovery arc actually looks like, and the customer stories behind six-month coat regrowth.

Fleas & flea allergies
Beyond the flea itself — the allergic reaction that keeps skin inflamed long after the parasite is gone. Managing both together with botanical care.

Demodex vs. sarcoptic — how they differ, why one is contagious and the other opportunistic, and topical routines that restore healthy skin.
