Skin Soother Skin & Itch Relief Drops for Cats & Dogs

This is the first bottle I've tried on my male 8 year old cat, Celt, who has suffered a great deal from feline hyperesthesia. I apply to his wet food once or twice a day and by now the bottle is nearly empty. It has been a godsend! At first I didn't think it was working and was going to stop using it, but about halfway through the bottle I noticed that I wasn't hearing his awful "episodes" of hissing and growling while his skin twitched. First it would be one day without incident and then the next day I would hear maybe one or two episodes. Then these events would get farther apart until now it's been nearly 3 weeks since I've witnessed one of these occurrences. I would tell others to not give up, even if you forget one day, keep at it and hopefully your cat will be free of these terrible experiences. To illustrate where Celt was...about four years ago his seizures or whatever it can be called was so bad that he nearly severed the tip of his tail from attacking it out of pain and frustration. He had been on pheno and other drugs, but these were partially effective and there was the danger of liver damage. The skin twitching was typical and plaguing him something awful. The vet advised having his extremely long tail removed so now he looks like a Manx. He seemed to be fine after the surgery, but then it started up again after he was stressed out over too much activity in the house around the holidays. We were back to ground zero. Whenever he would start up with an attack I would call him or stroke his head lightly to take his mind off the episode, which worked. But what does he do when I'm not home? This bottle of liquid is the answer. I wish he would grow out of the attacks, but until that miracle happens, this product is his miracle.Update: It's been 4 months since my review and Celt is doing great. He still takes the drops in his wet food or cream and he has almost no episodes.

I have a 16.5 pd. orange tabby cat that gets what I call the itchies. He will all of a sudden start twitching on his back, then start to run, stop and try to itch his back, then bolt to a different room. This was happening 4-5 times a week. He has had this every since he was a baby and he is now 10 years old. Trips to the vet, resulted in a change of diet and lotion for dry skin. It all helped some but nothing ever completely cured him of doing this. I decided to try the Skin Soother - it has worked!! I was originally giving it to him in both his wet food in the morning and in a communal water bowl. I noticed an improvement within the first week. After doing this for 3 weeks, he started having diarrhea (reason for the 4 stars), so I stopped using it in his wet food, and now am only putting it in the water. Still no return of the itchies. If I do notice it starting to come back I will trying putting it in his food again but only 2-3 times a week. He has an younger brother (4 years old), and a younger sister (1 year old) who has also benefited from the Skin Soother since I am using it in a water bowl that they all share. All 3 cats have had improvement in their fur (extremely soft), and less shedding - which is always a good thing!!

Definitely works to soothe skin and make fur soft. A temporary solution but at least you can apply liberally because it’s gentle.

Didn't work for my cat - his hyperesthesia is so bad that our vet prescribed medicine instead.Note: if your cat routinely chases it's tail, pulls out hair & is very skittish all the time - it most likely has a neurological condition called hyperesthesia. Take kitty to the vet & discuss the possibility of hyperesthesia with them. The only thing that worked for our kitty was a anti-anxiety prescription - & it works great for him - a huge positive life changer.

This has worked great on my cat who has itchy skin that she scratches until it bleeds. This product calms the skin so she doesn't scratch. This is my second purchase of this product.

It relaxes my cat some so that her self soothing is not constant. But I think it’s too soon to tell if will help him stop completely.

I bought this together with the Stress Stopper as I read news that it can help with my cat's excessive licking. It caused so much sores on his body that won't heal. After a month, he stopped licking excessively, his fur grew back after a few weeks and has been happy and stressed free ever since! And I still have 1/4 left in the bottle and it's been 7 months since I got it! Wonderful product!

Really helped with my little cat's skin problem. She was "barbering" her hair from her frantic itching. Although I never managed to figure out the cause, putting a few drops of this on her food really helped--almost immediately.
