Whitnie - the formerly hairless Pomeranian...

PUFF WHITTY - DERMagic Poster Child

Many of you know that there's nothing worse than having to watch your little furkid suffer day after day with some kind of skin problem, no matter what it is.  I've been there with my own dogs, one of which I nearly lost to a mystery skin disease that left her hairless with open sores.  That was little Shenanigan the Yorkie, the first life saved by DERMagic.

But that was then...  Today, no one and no animal should have to suffer like this, and that's why we work so hard to get the word out about DERMagic Skin Rescue Lotion. It really works to end the problem, permanently, without steroids, antibiotics, or antihistamines.

When we say it, that's one thing.  But when pet parents who have been through this ordeal, with very expensive vet bills and steroids and no results over very long periods of time, when these folks send us their before and after photos, and we can share them with you, this is what tells the story.

We have posted a slide show that shows Whitnie the Canadian Pomeranian (also known as "Puff Whitty"), who lives with Cherie D. in Saskatchewan.  Whitnie was in pretty bad shape when they finally found DERMagic at Metro Pet Market in Regina, SK.  

Here's what Cherie wrote to the folks at Metro Pet:  "Here are some before and after pictures of Whitnie's amazing transformation.  Big thank you for helping us along throughout the past 6 months.  Whitnie is gonna love you guys forever."

Please watch the slide show and forgive us all for not being brilliant cinematographers... but the message is clear:  DERMagic works.  And we guarantee it.

Black Skin Disease in Dogs

Dear Dr Adelia's Dog Blog Followers: Here's a wonderful letter from one Pomeranian breeder to another. This story is so inspirational that we are compelled to pass it on to everyone out there whose little ones are suffering from skin problems that their veterinarians have given up on. Please read on and have your hearts warmed and filled with hope. - Dr Adelia

Dear Caitlin:

You are more than welcome to ask me questions! I love this stuff. I know that sounds like I'm making a sales for DERMagic but I can't believe what it has done for my little pound puppy, who was from a Pom breeder.

I volunteer at a local animal shelter and have always been great at not bringing any little ones home with me until I saw Striker. I had to put down my 16 year old at Christmas who had that great Pom skin problem and it just happened that Striker had the same thing as she did. To make things short... I was going to a Grooming Show the next day and came across DERMagic booth and decided to give it a try with, in the back of my head "this will never work and I'm wasting my money. "Out of all of the shampoos I've used this is the only one that really works. I first started only using it on his rump a couple times a day (this is the Lotion I'm talking about) just in case it really didn't work.

And after a month or so the old black skin started flaking off (kinda gross but was an interesting process) then pink showed along with little starts of hair. I bought another bottle and started in with the neck. And now we are having to groom him like a chia pet. lol. Gotta love it.

I'll send you a few images of him in another email. He looks fat now but it's all fur. :) I laugh because I need to get a comb through him because I found a little pin mat near his rump. I would have never thought I would laugh at him for getting a mat, but whose problem is that now. ha

I do have one regret that I would have had the lotion from DERMagic, long ago with my other pom, Litosha. I spent so much money on tests from vets and pills for her, I think you know what that is like. And I could have used the lotion and been happy.

I did buy the shampoo and conditioner and used it with the lotion. I can't remember if I had to or not but I just wanted to make sure I had all the right components going for a positive outcome. You'll see in the images that its pretty darn sweet stuff. I can't say enough about it. I think the shelter I volunteer at is about to kick me out by talking about it all the time I'm so impressed with it.

If you do use it, please send me some images of the progress, I would love to hear what you have to say and feel about it. Believe me you'll want to see it too in the end. Shoot weekly images for something fun to see!

Have a Dog Gone Sweet Day!

Proactive skin care for dogs...

Today I spoke to a woman who is owned by an American Eskimo dog who has been suffering for two years with itching, hot spots and hair loss.  She had just about given up after trying everything she could find on the market, with minimal results.  

We are in the process of treating dogs with serious skin problems for our video... and we have been treating them for free so that we can take before and after photos, and maybe even get a testimonial from the dog owner.  This woman today (I'll call her Ruth) told me that after only one day on DERMagic Hot Spot Lotion her dog seemed to be calmer and that our products were working.  

She also told me something that horrified me.  She said that one veterinarian had told her that the black (or brownish) speckles on her dog's underbelly (mostly these appear around the crotch area) were indications of healing.  This is SO wrong!  It's quite the opposite.  When you see places on the underside of a dog that look like dirt but it won't wash off, this is when you need DERMagic Hot Spot Lotion right away (www.DERMagic.com).

Before your dog gets a problem this serious, there are a few things you can look for, and eliminate early.  One sure sign of a problem brewing is itchy, flaky skin on the back around the base of the tail.  We can usually fix this with our special detoxifying bath salts made with Dead Sea Salts from Israel, among other fine ingredients.  Just before shampooing your dog, wet him down and rub these special salts into his fur and give him a good massage.  The grains will exfoliate him and bring new cells to the surface.  Often, just a good shampooing after this will eliminate the problem.  No more dandruff!  It's amazing... smells heavenly... and it works.

Also, on a weekly basis, turn your dog over and inspect his tummy carefully.  The skin should be a healthy pale pink (on most dogs), and should not look "dirty."  If you see tiny points of dark, sometimes looking like blackheads, this is the first sign of a serious infection under the skin and it's important to stop it right away.  Our Hot Spot Lotion is completely effective in getting rid of this discoloration, and it stops the infection in its tracks, before it becomes systemic or erupts elsewhere in the form of hot spots or itchy rash.  Our website will soon have some photos of this precursor condition (www.dermagic.com), so please check there if you have any doubts!

Good luck with your furry friends, and please contact us if you have any questions about the health of your dog's skin or fur (info@dermagic.net).  

Best wishes!  Dr. Adelia Ritchie
