What is Itch Support Gold used for?
Like people, cats may encounter occasional environmental or dietary allergens that can affect their comfort. Some breeds may be more sensitive to these factors, experiencing occasional skin-related discomfort that varies with age.
These factors primarily affect cats’ skin. Understanding what affects your cat involves identifying the source of the sensitivity (environmental and otherwise), which can sometimes be complex due to elements like grass or other common environmental allergens.
Occasional skin discomfort in cats may manifest as itching, irritated areas, and varied skin conditions such as dry or moist skin and may also affect specific areas like ears and paws. Itch Support Gold is designed to support a healthy immune response in cats, working with a blend of high-quality herbs that help maintain skin balance from the inside out. This product draws on Traditional Chinese Medicine, described as an "External Wind" formula, which relates to occasional sensitivities that appear suddenly and primarily affect the skin.
While most cats handle everyday environmental and dietary exposures without issue, those with sensitive systems might experience occasional skin discomfort. This formula aims to provide a holistic approach to maintaining your cat’s skin health, supporting both internal and external balance for lasting skin comfort.
Examples of Common Allergens:
- Pollens and grasses
- Dust, dust mites, and molds
- Fragrances and other chemicals including those found in many laundry detergents, pet shampoos, and household cleaners
- Cigarette smoke
- Prescription medication (including flea medication or medicated flea products)
- Insect bites (including fleas)
- Dander and feathers (may be in pillows, duvets, or bedspreads)
- Foods such as dairy and beef products, soy, wheat, corn, chicken, and chicken by-products
- Foods or treats containing food-coloring
Itch Support Gold offers dynamic support for occasional allergy-related skin discomfort; however, seasonal and dietary allergies may also cause occasional discomfort in the respiratory areas, like the nose and lungs.
For occasional respiratory allergies, consider Pet Wellbeing Nettle-Eyebright Gold.
A note from our veterinarian:
Itchy skin is a common reason why cats are brought in to see their vet. Itch Support Gold provides support for allergies that affect your cat's skin and the itchy, red, dry, or moist skin symptoms that can arise from the allergic response.
Once desired results are achieved, Itch Support Gold may be discontinued and reintroduced as needed. Always seek the consultation of your veterinarian as needed.
Prevention and Avoidance:
Identify and minimize exposure to seasonal, dietary, and other environmental allergens that may affect your cat’s skin. Complete elimination might be challenging, but minimizing contact can help. Cats may experience occasional discomfort from multiple factors, like laundry detergent, dust mites, and flea bites. By limiting exposure and regularly checking your cat’s environment, you can help minimize discomfort.
Diet:
If you suspect foods are causing occasional discomfort, consider homemade recipes or an elimination diet. A raw food diet may also be beneficial, ensuring it's hormone and antibiotic-free. Simplicity is key for managing occasional food sensitivities.
Nutrition:
Enhance your cat’s diet with essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. Pet Wellbeing Omega-3 Daily Wellness helps maintain skin integrity and overall health. Pet Wellbeing SPARK Daily Nutritional Greens Supplement provides comprehensive nutrients from whole foods. Consult your veterinarian to identify sensitivities and create a suitable plan.
Bathing:
Use a shampoo that supports healthy skin and doesn’t cause occasional irritations. Avoid products with fragrances or harsh detergents, as they can be potential irritants.
Minimize insect bites:
Apply natural, non-synthetic repellent during active insect seasons. Flea bite allergies are common, and reactions may occur after the bite. Regular application helps minimize the chance of insect bites and related sensitivities.
Occasional sensitivity - or just dry skin?
Low indoor and outdoor humidity can cause dry air and occasionally, itchy, dry skin. Notice if your cat starts scratching when the heat or air conditioning is on or during drier seasons. Use a hygrometer to measure humidity in your home, aiming for 35%-50%. If the air is too dry, a humidifier can help maintain optimal humidity levels for your cat’s comfort.
Occasional discomfort resembling seasonal or environmental allergies may be something different, so it's essential to have your cat examined by your veterinarian.
A note from our veterinarian: Results may vary depending on your cat’s constitution. Once desired results are achieved, supplementation can be discontinued and reintroduced if needed. Constant use is not necessary.
