The Essential Boutique EB10 Mange Treatment Oil for Dogs is designed to provide a natural and effective solution for treating mange, healing the skin, and preventing reinfestation in dogs. Here’s a detailed overview of the product and its application:
Key Functions:
- Eliminate Mange Mites: The treatment oil works to kill mange mites with the first application. A second application is recommended after three days to ensure that any missed mites or newly hatched mites are also eliminated.
- Heal Skin and Fur: The oil helps soothe and heal damaged skin, as well as promote the regrowth of fur. Owners should apply the oil on alternate days until the skin and fur have fully healed, based on the severity of the damage.
- Repellent: The oil also acts as an effective repellent against mites, ticks, and lice. After treatment, it can be used twice weekly as a preventive measure to protect your dog from future infestations.
Ingredients:
-
Essential Oils:
- Rosemary, Lavender, Cajeput, Basil, Geranium, Lemongrass, Tea Tree, Bergamot: These essential oils are known for their potent antiseptic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and insecticidal properties. They help in killing mange mites, soothing irritated skin, and reducing inflammation.
-
Carrier Oils:
- Cold-Pressed Sweet Almond Oil: Moisturizes and nourishes the skin while allowing for better absorption of the essential oils.
- Jojoba Oil: Known for its skin-healing properties and ability to restore the skin’s natural barrier, it also aids in delivering the essential oils deep into the skin.
Directions for Use:
- Application: Massage a small amount of the oil into the affected area and comb through your dog’s fur to ensure even distribution. For long-haired dogs, it's recommended to dampen the fur before applying the oil to help the oil reach the skin.
- Comb Through: After applying the oil, leave it for at least an hour, then comb through the fur again (preferably with a nit comb) to remove mites and distribute the oil more effectively.
- Reapply: After three days, reapply the oil to ensure that all mites, including any newly hatched ones, are eliminated.
- Prevent Licking: While it is safe for your dog to lick the oil due to its natural composition, it is best to avoid excessive licking if possible.
Additional Notes:
- Demodex Mite: The Demodex mite is present on most dogs and does not usually cause problems unless there is an underlying issue, such as a compromised immune system or a secondary bacterial infection. While the Mange Oil can kill Demodex mites, it may not be the primary solution if the issue is due to an infection. Consult a veterinarian if this is the case.
- Sarcoptic Mite: If your dog has a problem with the Sarcoptic mite, which causes a more aggressive form of mange (scabies in dogs), it is recommended to use the Essential Boutique EB12 Scabies Oil.
Usage as a Repellent:
- After treatment, you can continue using the oil as a natural repellent by applying it twice a week. The essential oils used are known to be avoided by mites, ticks, and lice, offering ongoing protection for your dog.
Safe for Dogs:
- The oil is safe for dogs to ingest in small amounts, so there is no need to worry if your dog licks the treated areas. The dilution is carefully balanced to be effective without causing harm.
Conclusion:
The EB10 Mange Treatment Oil is a natural and holistic solution that not only kills mange mites but also promotes healing and acts as a repellent. Its soothing and antimicrobial properties make it an ideal choice for pet owners seeking a safe and effective mange treatment for their dogs. For persistent or severe cases, consult with a vet to rule out any underlying conditions, especially in the case of a Demodex or secondary bacterial infection.
