Chewing at her legs after walksShe works on her legs and belly as soon as she comes inside.
You've tried a lot alreadyYou've changed the food and tried creams, wipes and new shampoos.-
Itch & Immune Care works best when you start it before the season peaks.
Itch & Immune Care works best when you start it before the season peaks.
Why the licking follows the calendar
Pollen lands on your dog's paws, belly and coat every time she goes outside.
Tree pollenSpring
Grass pollenLate spring and summer
Weed pollen, such as ragweedLate summer and fall
Your daily routineA few weeks before the first peak, until the first frost
Simple habits that help
- Wipe or rinse the paws after walks to remove pollen.
- Write down the week the licking starts, so you know when to begin next year.
Source: typical US pollen seasons as described by the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Timing varies by region and year.
What each part of the sachet supports
Much of the immune system sits along the gut lining, so skin and coat support can start in the bowl.

What stands behind every box
Questions owners ask
Should I see my vet first?
Yes, if the itching is constant, or your dog has open sores, hot spots or ear trouble.
Check with your vet too if she takes prescription medication, since this is daily support alongside your vet's plan.
Is the DHA from fish?
No. The DHA comes from microalgae, so there's no fish oil in the supplement.
Is there anything in it my dog should avoid?
It contains bovine colostrum and is made for dogs only.
Can I give it with Microbiome Care?
Yes. Start one at half the dose for 3 days, then add the second a week later.
