The Herbal Pet Skin & Coat & Allergy/Itch SKU THP-AF

Herbal Pet Allergy Formula

Allergies in pets are increasing rapidly. We believe that this is partly due to the lack of certain nutrients that are not currently even seen as 'essential' in your pet's diet. The Herbal Pet Allergy Formula is a product that aims to provide these nutrients including Bioflavonoids and Vitamin C.

01 · THE PROBLEM

The problem this solves

I get more queries for allergies than for anything else. Dogs and cats who never stop scratching, respiratory issues, etc etc. And it is so, so difficult top pin down exactly what is causng the problem. Allergy Formula gently modifies the response to allergens, whatever those allergens are.

02 · WHO IT'S FOR

Who Allergy Formula is for

Use Allergy Formula if your pet:

01

Has dry, itchy skin

02

Is recovering from illness

03

Is often in contact with other animals

In kennels or at shows.

04

dogs and cats with sneezing or watery eyes

This is a nutritional product and not intended as a substitute for veterinary products or advice.

03 · THE FORMULATION

Every ingredient, and why it's in

Skin and coat condition rests on nutrition and on a steady immune system. Allergy Formula brings together herbs, vitamins and minerals chosen for that job. Vitamin C plays a role in the immune system of the pet, and iron matters because an iron deficiency can lead to a weakened immune system. Alongside them sit traditional herbs and a seaweed meal that carries a broad range of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Fed daily, the blend supports the skin, coat and immune system nutritionally.

Citrus aurantium bitter orange

Contains potent healing molecules called Bioflavonoids.

Siberian Ginseng Eleutherococcus senticosus

Known as an adaptogen, widely used in sports supplements for human athletes.

Sutherlandia Sutherlandia frutescens

Contains compounds like L-canavanine and pinitol that help balance the immune response to reduce allergic reactions.

Vitamin C Ascorbic acid

Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant and supports histamine breakdown.

Iron

Low iron levels make mast cells unstable and ready to burst or degranulate, which triggers allergic reactions and histamine release

Seaweed meal Ecklonia maxima

A source of many vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

8 reviews for Herbal Pet Allergy Formula

  1. Angora Van Doorn –

    11years ago I was ready to euthanize my Border Collie. She had no hair left and was so itchy she would roll in gravel and be just a bleeding mess. After 3 years of vets, this was no longer a quality life. My vet didn’t euthanize but took skin grafts and after analyzing found she was Adobic (environmental allergies)
    So she was put on cortisone 3x a day while we figured out what foods to eliminate. But having my furchild on cortisone for the rest of her life was not a great idea.
    Then I discovered Herbal Horse. At that time Beryl did not yet have the Pet range so we adapted.
    Today my furchild is 100% healthy. Still on 3x cortisone per week though.
    It’s the lowest I got it down to, plus a flat teaspoon of allergy herbs daily. She’s going to be 13 soon and now going grey but without Beryl and her magic potion she would not have lived so long. I cannot imagine being without the herbs. Beryl is extremely helpful and compassionate and I thank her daily for my healthy dog.

    • Beryl Shuttleworth –

      Angora, one of my favourite customers. Thank you for your review.

  2. Zoe Quickfall –

    Due to a serious of unfortunate circumstances my partner, our fur-baby and I ended up staying in the garage of of my childhood home in Kraaifontein while we were getting back on our feet. It wasn’t long before my dog started having an adverse allergic reaction to something in our surroundings. We tried a number of different medications, cortisol pills prescribed by our vet, skin oils, you name it. It was expensive and stressful and all three of us were miserable. I stumbled upon this product while doing more focused research on natural products. Your product changed our lives. My poor baby is happy and healthy and we’re all finally making strides in improving our lifestyle and financial situation. Thank you so much.

    • Beryl Shuttleworth –

      Yay to all of the above. x

    this formula works in the treatment of malassezia?
    Thanks
    Rui

    • Beryl Shuttleworth –

      Not that I know of, Rui….

  5. Natanya –

    This is a lovely product and in a short while of using it my little Lilly’s (yorkie) skin has improved significantly. She has no problem taking it in when I mix it in her food. Happy with it.

  6. Rebecca –

    This product has really made a difference with our dog, who we’ve been battling with her skin for years!

  7. Rosemary –

    This product has made a huge difference to my cat’s skin. All the little scabs in her neck have gone and the rash around her eye has healed completely. I highly recommend.

  8. Johanna Swart –

    Want to order allergy powder

  9. Michele Minnaar –

    My dogsittter started giving my dog this formula while she was staying with them. She was suffering from green slimy discharge in her eyes every morning. When wiped away, it would produce more. After just a few days of being on this, I noticed a huge decrease in the amount of gunk in her eyes. I am now going to buy and start giving this to her to continue the improvement. She also suffers from dry skin on her lower back…I’d like to see if this helps that as well!

    • Beryl Shuttleworth –

      So interesting, thanks for letting us know!

  10. Pauline Kinton –

    I have two Great Danes who have pretty sensitive tummies and I have found that if their tums get upset they need a couple of feeds with allergy formula sprinkled on it and their tums settle down. Love it because its all natural.
