How is the product applied? The product should be sprayed directly on the affected area. A small amount does go a long way. Remember to shake the bottle well before each use.
How much do I use? Enough spray should be used to cover the affected area. Excess spray can either be rubbed into the skin around the affected area or wiped off.
Does the wound need to be bandaged? No, the wound does not need to be bandaged.
Why doesn’t a normal scab form? The spray heals a wound from the inside out. Therefore you generally will not see a scab form. In fact, the wound may have a moist appearance rather than the dry scab most people are used to seeing.
What does transdermal mean? Transdermal means that it penetrates the outer layer of the skin, which allows the other ingredients to reach deeper than just the skin’s surface.
Does it hurt if my pet licks the area after I’ve applied K-9 Companion? No. The small amount of spray licked from a wound isn’t harmful to your pet. And because K-9 Companion is transdermal, as long as the spray is allowed to sit for a few seconds before it is licked, it will quickly soak in to the skin enough to allow it to work, even if your pet licks off any remaining spray.
Can I use K-9 Companion on an incision before the stitches are removed? It is recommended that you wait until the stitches are removed. If staples are used, then the spray can be applied before they are removed.
Will EpiThera help the itching from poison ivy? Yes. However, because of the nature of poison ivy (and like plants), we have found that TopicAid for Equines actually provides better relief.
Why can’t I use other products with this product? Since the products are all transdermal, they absorb more deeply into the skin. When used with other products, those products are absorbed as well. Complications may occur due to the absorption of the other products.
