Maybe you can find something similar made by another company.I don't recomend using pure tea tree oil because is too strong,especially if your dog is a puppy. The results were amazing in 3 days his red inflamed bumps were much better.In a week they were all gone and his fur grew back really fast. I'm so happy to see him healthy and without the itch.

Everything gets very pinkish. The only thing that works is when the vet gives her a shot of antibiotics and cortisone for the itch. This lasts only 2 weeks. I have tried Golden Seal, Apple Cider Vinegar, Benadryl, and Tea bags. Nothing seems to help my little girl. Where can I found out what is wrong with her?

I'm feeding his a ScienceDiet puppy food, 2/3 of a cup in the morning and evening (6am and 5pm) and 1/3 of a cup at noon (I had a tiny amount of hot water ot moisten the dry food and I let it cool before he goes after it). Based on the way he easts (all 3 meals) you would think I was starving him- yet, according to the dog food label, I may be slighly overfeeding him. He is roughly 18 pounds. The vet said he looked wonderful at the last visit. Also, is there any way to train a dog to chew, rather than inhale?
