We get asked all the time! How on earth does Coat Defense work so well healing rain rot, sweet itch, fungus, yeast and other skin problems without including chemicals, medications, toxins or other unnatural ingredients? IS IT MAGIC?
Coat Defense products are magic because the ingredients that we are given by Mother Nature and use to create our products are truly magical. The right natural ingredients, combined in the right way, are often all the skin needs to heal and thrive.
For an animal suffering from allergies, infections, injuries and other problems, the relief can be so immediate that it really does feel like magic to them.
A big part of why Coat Defense products are effective for itch, odor, and yeast is because they alter the terrain on the skin.
Moisture is the root cause of many skin ailments and slow healing problems because it provides a warm, humid environment where pathogenic microbes quickly multipy and thrive.
Coat Defense products create a dry, safe environment that is uninhabitable for problematic organisms like bad bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, protozoa, yeast, fleas, mites, and others.
This is why animals find relief so quickly with our products, and why daily use prevents issues from coming back. If the microbes can't live on your animal in the first place, they won't be a problem!
Toxins in medications and topical products (even many that are labeled “natural” or “organic”) can strip natural oils and kill the synergistic colonies of microbes, which are critical for health and healing. Certain mediactions might kill the "bad bacteria" yeast or fungus, but they also kill the good bacteria too - leading to more problems down the road.
Many anti-itch, anti-microbial, skin stripping chemicals used in shampoos, topicals, ointments and other common products are known skin allergens, which could be doubling your animal's trouble!
Coat Defense products protect the skin by preserving microbiomes by not stripping them away by removing oils, or killing them directly with medication. In other words, our products are supporting your animal's skin's own innate ability to protect and heal itself!
Simply giving your animal's immune system a chance to heal and find balance can deliver astonishing results. Coat Defense products are un-medicated and don’t interfere with your horse's or dog's natural healing ability. Our formulas are so gentle you can find the ingredients in most kitchens!
When you don't strip away natural oils and microbiomes, your animal has healthier skin. And on top of that - an added bonus: a shiny, lustrous coat!
Keeping your pets clean and well-groomed is an essential part of their health and happiness. However, many commercial grooming products contain harsh chemicals that can be harmful to your pet and the environment. At COAT DEFENSE we only use natural and eco-friendly grooming options available for your furry friends.
