It’s devastating to see your dog suffering through any kind of illness or injury. Skin conditions, in particular, often return again and again.
If your dog is prone to skin conditions, a moment of fun can lead to months of discomfort, medication and visits to the vet. The last thing you want is for your pet to miss out on their favourite activities, like playing ball in the park or doing zoomies in the backyard, through fear of them having an allergic reaction.
Luckily, Rose-Hip Vital Canine provides a completely natural way to protect your dog from skin allergies.
A small dose, mixed in with their regular food, fuels your pet with enough antioxidants, antihistamines and anti-inflammatories to bolster their immune defences, keeping your best friend outside, doing the things they love.
Read on to discover how you can use rose hip for dogs skin conditions.
What Causes Canine Skin Allergies
Some dogs experience an overstimulated immune response to certain irritants, which they’re either exposed to in their environment or that they consume in their diet.
Typical irritants include pollen, dust, mold, or protein allergies.
When your dog experiences an excessive reaction to one of these irritants, their immune system kicks into overdrive and causes inflammation of the skin, making it itchy, swollen, red and sometimes even raw. This discomfort causes your dog to itch, scratch and lick the area, causing it to become further enflamed.
How Rose-Hip Vital Helps with Skin Conditions
Rose-Hip Vital Canine is a unique rose hip supplement for dogs.
Our powder contains the active galactolipid, GOPO®, which targets rogue white blood cells that are accumulating at sites on inflammation. By breaking down inflammation before it can spread, Rose-Hip Vital Canine is able to get ahead of cyclical outbreaks and ensure that protection is there when your dog needs it most.
Not only that, Rose-Hip Vital is an incredibly rich source of natural vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant and antihistamine.
What is GOPO®, and How Does it Combat Skin Allergies?
GOPO® is an exclusive anti-inflammatory compound found in Rose-Hip Vital powders, thanks to the patented way that we dry and manufacture our pure rosehips.
When your dog experiences a normal immune system response, histamines are released by the body to combat allergens, causing inflammation. In some situations, the immune system kicks into overdrive and too much inflammation occurs, which leads to an outbreak of allergic dermatitis.
GOPO® is able to dismantle this inflammation by preventing excessive white blood cells from rushing to the affected area, moderating the immune response and preventing it from kicking into overdrive.
By keeping inflammation under control, your dog is much more likely to avoid the painful symptoms associated with allergic dermatitis, like redness, rawness and itchiness.
Naturally Rich in Vitamin C
Unlike the synthetic vitamin C found in other brands, Rose-Hip Vital contains naturally-occurring vitamin C, which has much higher bioavailability.
Often, synthetic vitamin C is discarded by the body as waste before any real value can even be obtained. Naturally-occurring vitamin C is cultivated within the rosehip, and works intuitively with the body to ensure maximum absorbency and efficient distribution of benefits.
Vitamin C is a powerful antihistamine, which helps to reduce reactionary swelling and inflammation. It’s also a powerful antioxidant, that targets rogue free radicals and prevents them from causing long-term cellular degeneration.
Rose-Hip Vital Canine is Safe and Scientifically-Backed
The benefits of Rose-Hip Vital are proven by science.
Our unique powder has been included in over 30 peer-reviewed studies, including 9 double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
