Allergy Support
What is Itch Support Gold?
Use this product for comfortable, healthy skin and paws. It helps maintain normal immune reactivity.
Itch Support Gold is a combination of nine herbal ingredients for skin-related support. For some felines, support is needed continually, and for others it may be seasonal or occasional. With some, one or more ingredients in the diet is the cause.
Itch Support Gold is drug-free. It addresses the physiological mechanisms that cause the skin (including on the paws) to become itchy. This formulation works with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to target the underlying issues and restore health from the inside out. It works without the harmful side effects commonly associated with long-term use of prescription medications.
*Itch Support Gold is not for acute or severe allergic reactions. If your dog requires immediate or emergency medical attention, please call your veterinarian or nearest veterinary clinic.
Itch Support Gold does not address emergency allergy situations such as anaphylaxis.
What is Itch Support Gold used for?
Just as people can experience physical responses to food and their environment, felines are also susceptible to normal things they encounter in their environment or in their diet. Some breeds have a greater incidence that can affect their skin.
Your cat's normal environment:
- It may be something your cat has come into physical contact with
- It may be in your cat's diet
- It may be something that has been inhaled (airborne)
- It may be from a flea bite (usually from flea saliva)
Naturally, the most beneficial approach is to limit exposure; however, there may be cases in which this is difficult (such as with pollen).
Your cat may need support for:
- The skin, could be dry or moist
- Ears
- Paws
Your cat's behaviour may also change, since a constant need for skin support can quickly lead to irritability, disrupted sleep, exhaustion and snapping.
Itch Support Gold helps to support a healthy immune response to the environment and diet. The herbal combination also works synergistically to support comfortable skin, whether the need is pervasive or only in certain areas. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the name for this type of formula is termed an External Wind formula. The element of "wind" can refer to things that appear suddenly, change quickly and affect the surface (like the skin).
Most cats are healthy, regardless of what they encounter in the home or outdoors, so why are some cats more sensitive? The immune system of every cat is different. Take into consideration environmental elements and everything the skin comes into contact with - out of doors and inside the home, the type of protein your cat eats and any other additives in the food, fleas, and whether the cat is generally healthy, with strong immunity.
Think about:
- Pollens and grasses
- Dust, dust mites and molds
- Fragrances and other chemicals including those found in most laundry detergents, anything you apply to your cat, and household cleaners
- Cigarette smoke
- Prescription medication (including flea medication or medicated flea products)
- Insect bites (including fleas)
- Dander and feathers (may be in pillows, duvets or bedspreads)
- Foods such as dairy products, beef products, soy, wheat, corn, chicken and chicken by-products
- Foods or treats containing food colouring
Itch Support Gold provides support and maintenance for your cat's skin and normal responses.
Always seek the consultation of your veterinarian as needed.
A Note from our Veterinarian...
Itch Support Gold does not contain pharmaceutical ingredients and results will depend on how long you have been supporting the skin. Results vary for every cat.
Once desired results are achieved, the formula may be discontinued and reintroduced when necessary. The formula does not need to be used constantly and is meant to be used as-needed.
This formula was developed to be potent and effective in the shorter term, yet also works to support the health and comfort of the skin from the inside out.
Intercept and Avoid:
Once you have identified the cause, try to eliminate exposure as much as possible. Sometimes this is possible and sometimes it's not. Remember that responses are sometimes caused by multiple factors and your cat may be able to tolerate a certain amount of exposure before the factors compound and a response occurs.
Try to eliminate all the potential items as much as possible and you will hopefully see less response, or no response, when there is occasional exposure to any of the irritants. Have a look at the list of common substances that may be right in your household or in your cat's living environment.
Diet:
Similar to humans, cats may build up sensitivities to foods that are eaten daily, without a break. Just like humans, cats are healthiest with a varied diet. Be sure to switch your cat's foods at least from time-to-time.
You may wish to try some homemade cat food recipes with simple ingredients. Your veterinarian may suggest an elimination diet, starting only with very simple foods and slowly introducing other ingredients. With the new diet, assess the skin. Avoid foods that appear to affect the state of the skin when reintroduced.
A species-appropriate raw food diet may also be an excellent alternative if your cat has food sensitivities (or doesn't). Look for a trusted source of raw dog food in your area and follow the appropriate health and safety precautions to serve it. Frozen blocks are portioned for different sizes of pets and are thawed before serving. Make sure the protein source is not one that your cat is sensitive to and look for meat raised without hormones or antibiotics. Feeding raw food is very easy and may be a more cost-effective option than "designer" allergy diets sold commercially. With food allergies, "simple" is better. Itch Support Gold may only be of minimal help if your cat continues to eat a diet that elicits an allergic response.
Nutrition:
Consider supplementation of vitamins, minerals and especially Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Omega-3's have been shown to support normal regeneration of healthy new skin cells, and are extremely beneficial for the skin. A supplement like SPARK contains nutrients and superfoods from whole food sources, along with probiotics and enzymes for overall good health. This product can be found here: http://www.petwellbeing.com/products/spark-daily-nutritional-supplement-for-dogs-and-cats-200g
It is suggested to work with your veterinarian to uncover the causes of your cat's sensitivities and work out a treatment plan that you feel is the most beneficial for your cat. Please keep informed of any and all side effects (especially long-term effects) that may result from prescription medications like steroids and antibiotics.
Minimize insect bites:
Remember that sensitivities to fleas or flea saliva may cause reactions long after the fleabite has occurred. A flea bite may appear as much more than a simple bite on the skin, and show as widespread.
Just dry skin?
A lower indoor or outdoor humidity can cause dryness in the air and skin can become dry and itchy. Monitor whether your cat starts to itch when you turn on the heat or air-conditioning in your home, or when the air becomes drier with a change of seasons. You can test the humidity in your house with a hygrometer from a hardware or home improvement store. An optimal humidity range is considered to be 35-50%. If the air in your home becomes too dry, a humidifier can provide the necessary humidity your cat (and you) may need to stay comfortable and healthy.
Please have your cat examined and diagnosed by a veterinarian. The skin's health can be a clue to other things going on with your cat's general health state.
Can my cat take Itch Support Gold with prescription drugs?
Itch Support Gold may have a hypoglycaemic effect. It is suggested to monitor closely if using with blood-sugar-lowering drugs. Use caution with steroids.

What is Itchy Owie Quick-Dry Gel?
This is a product you'll want to have in your cat's first aid kit. It is designed for any kind of issue that helps support and maintain skin health and comfort in cats.
Cats can't help themselves. If a cat has an abnormal sensation on their skin, they scratch and/or lick the area, sometimes causing further damage or infection.
Itchy Owie Quick-Dry Gel is designed to:
- Help maintain clean, protected skin
- Help maintain an itch-free cat
- Help support the skin's natural integrity to heal
The herbs used to make it are double extracted for maximum potency, giving it a characteristic light brown colour. You can see the potency of the active herbal ingredients, rather than the "fillers" or "carriers".
Our veterarians developed this skin gel for cats with:
- itchy areas (regardless of the cause)
- wet or dry skin areas
- insect bites and stings
- normal skin repair
Whatever the skin issue is, frequent application will be beneficial and will be safe if the cat licks it off.
What is Itchy Owie used for?
Some felines are more susceptible and need skin support. The skin can get dry or it can have moist patches. Insects are a normal part of interacting with the environment. Insect bites and stings can also affect some cats more than others. Your cat may require support. There may be sensitivities to something in the diet or environment that can cause reactions on the skin of your cat.
Directions:
Apply a thin layer of Itchy Owie Quick-Dry Gel over the affected area(s) two or three times daily. More frequent applications may be needed, especially if the cat licks the gel off.
A Note from our Veterinarian...
More about cats' skin:
- Is your pet exposed to toxic materials?
Common pest control chemicals in the garden, on the lawn or cleaning products in the home may be causing or contributing to a skin problem. Consider substituting more natural products to see if your cat's skin health improves. - Something your cat comes into contact with?
Allergic dermatitis is a condition seen routinely by veterinarians. Possible allergens can be pollens from weeds, trees or grasses, molds, dust mites or fleas. You may want to learn more about another Pet Wellbeing product if your cat is itching due to allergies: Itch Support Gold. - Are there other health issues?
Other health conditions, such as an under active thyroid, can have symptoms that show up on the skin. By treating the cause, the secondary skin ailments can be taken care of. Sometimes, negative reactions to vaccines can exhibit as skin disorders. A foul odour on the skin is not considered normal and should be examined by a veterinarian. A common cause of smelly skin is yeast. - What is your feline eating?
The most common dietary allergens are wheat, dairy, corn, soy and egg. Sometimes, though fairly rare, our pets exhibit an allergy or sensitivity to something in their diet by breaking out on the skin, often on the back at the base of the tail. The skin is one of the body's organs of elimination. If the body is attempting to eliminate an allergen, the skin can become irritated, red and itchy. Assess the quality of the food you are feeding your pet and also potential ingredients that may be a problem. If you suspect your pet has food sensitivities but you can't figure out what they are, it may be helpful to prepare an allergen-free diet at home. Batches of food can be made in advance and kept in the fridge or freezer. - Is your cat bored, frustrated or irritable?
Sometimes, psychologically-based issues can cause a pet to scratch. Over scratching can lead to abrasions that can become infected.
