Directions
DAILY PREVENTATIVE POWDER
Using the precision point gently apply powder in folds, tight areas, or through the coat down to the skin. You can also use your hand or grooming brush, to work the powder down to the skin.
Reapply daily to dissipate odor or prevent skin issues caused by pests that find your dog a perfect petri dish to inhabit.
If using as a remedy, leave on continuously, applying more as needed until completely healed.
Apply more often to areas prone to holding moisture like between paws, under legs, around genitals, in folds/wrinkles, and ears.
Ears: Gently flip the ear back to expose the affected area. Using your finger or a makeup brush, apply powder to fully cover the irritated skin. DO NOT squirt directly down ear canal.
NOTICE- PLEASE STOP AND READ BEFORE USING:
DO NOT squirt directly down ear canal.
Discontinue use of medicated shampoos, topicals, wipes, or ear products (for use with ear) especially those containing SODIUM LAUREL SULFATE, CHLORAHEXIDINE, COAL TAR, and SALYCILIC ACID. If using medicated shampoos, topicals, or wipes with these ingredients, we recommend waiting 3-5 days from last use to apply our powder and patch test to be safe. The powder is non-toxic but too alkaline for chemically irritated skin and may cause a reaction.
Most commercially available shampoos have ingredients that dry out skin and impede healing. We recommend not using these.
Avoid using on areas of skin treated with topical flea medications including under flea collars. The pesticides in these products often irritate the skin; combining with powder may cause a reaction.
Some dogs with systemic yeast overgrowth may ooze after powder application. This is part of the normal healing process and will subside. Wipe the moisture and reapply fresh powder.

01
Use powder on troubled areas and leave it on continuously until cleared up; usually takes a few days to nip it in the bud.
02
Shampoo either before starting the powder elimination phase or after it's cleared. Our safe and soothing formula will not strip natural skin oils or protective skin microbes both essential for your pup's skin to stay well and break the cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
When using the powder to remedy yeast overgrowth/itch/stink/skin inflammation leave it on troubled areas constantly until cleared up. It usually takes a few days of continuous coverage to nip it in the bud. Once clear it is an effective preventative especially if used as a final dry on prone areas after bath, swimming and damp days. Yeast requires moisture so using the powder in this way will prevent it from returning. It is also a convenient dry shampoo for in between baths or grooms because it dissipates any doggy odor and keeps the skin funk away.
It is not uncommon for the skin to ooze or look red after powder application; your dog's brilliant immune system is using its detergent/ ooze to clean out the now dead yeast. Yeast is not just on the skin but in the skin and hair follicles, too. It is pushing the now dead yeast out in the same way our skin oozes to clean a wound or bug bite to remove pathogens or venom. It will not generate new healthy skin until the cleaning is complete. Wipe the moisture and apply fresh powder. It will subside when immune system clears it all out; it is part of the process of generating new healthy skin especially for dogs who have been struggling for awhile.
Medicated and chemical shampoos, topicals, wipes, etc. all contain ingredients that strip the skin leaving it raw and hypersensitive. You cannot always see this because it is at the skin level. Although our powder and paste are completely non toxic they are too alkaline for chemically irritated/stripped skin and may cause a reaction. Additionally, chemical products not only strip the bad microbes off the skin but also take the good microbes needed for skin wellness. The good guys keep the bad (like yeast) in check. When you take the good away the skin cannot restore balance which is why you do not see lasting relief from the medicated products. If your dog has a flea collar just avoid area where it is in contact with the skin.
It is a remedy not a cure. Yeast overgrowth and hotspots are caused by a skin micro biome that is out of balance; when there aren't enough protective microbes on the skin to keep the pathogens in check; they overgrow unimpeded which causes itch, stink, skin inflammation and hairloss. The powder changes the terrain on the skin making it uninhabitable for yeast and once they can't survive or reproduce the symptoms of itch, skin inflammation and stink go away with it...it is doing the job of the friendly beneficial microbes that are deficient. If not used as a preventative; especially as a final dry on prone areas anytime your pup is damp after bathing, swimming and on damp days the yeast will reproduce rapidly and the symptoms will return. Until the skin micro biome is back intact this has been a wonderful solution that has given dogs relief...many have been suffering for many years and we are delighted that we have been able to keep them comfortable in their own skin. Restoring the skin micro biome takes time...it is usually destroyed by chemical laden topicals...medicated shampoo, wipes and sprays being the worst...many medications cause systemic yeast overgrowth so if your dog has been on medications and the friendly bugs haven't been restored or you're using chemical laden skin topicals it will defeat any progress. In the meantime the powder is an effective way to keep your pup comfortable in their skin.
There is also a skin micro biome; the first layer of the immune system...like the gut when the good guys are destroyed the pathogens reproduce unimpeded and cause skin inflammation, itch and stink. This is caused by chemical laden topicals, shampoos, wipes and medications. Often times medications like anti biotics and immuno suppressants prescribed to millions of dogs result in systemic yeast overgrowth. We agree that nutrition is essential to whole body wellness. The powder eliminates pathogenic and parasitic overgrowth on the skin and gives fast and safe relief without toxic medications or topicals for dogs who may never get their beneficial microbes back intact or until they do. It is something that can safely be used while also healing the gut to keep them comfortable. We are big fans of whole body wellness.
First, you will want to stop using the medicated products before getting ours. Wait 3-5 days but honestly, if you have been using them a long time, a week would be better before doing a patch test. Pick an area on the skin to test the powder. It should be an area where you can tell if a reaction is occurring. Signs of a reaction would be swelling, severe redness, heat, or discomfort. It is not uncommon to see increased moisture as the body will ooze to push the pathogen (like yeast) from the skin. If a reaction occurs, stop using it and wait another week. Try again. The good news is skin is always regenerating so eventually, you will be able to use the powder. It just can take a few weeks or longer in some cases for the top layer of skin to become back intact from using the medicated products. In the meantime, our Sensitive Skin Dog Shampoo is a great option to keep the skin soothed while transitioning.
The powder is the remedy for yeast overgrowth, itch and stink. Leave it on troubled areas constantly until cleared up; usually takes a few days to nip it in the bud. This can be used first or after bathing with the shampoo which will clean and soothe skin before starting but we do not recommend bathing while in the elimination phase because yeast thrives in moisture so it is best to keep your pup as dry as possible during this period.
The shampoo is aloe based and free of harsh ingredients found in most others. It is soothing, moisturizing and healing. It will not compound existing skin troubles or cause new ones because it leaves the natural skin oils and protective skin microbes intact. Both required for the skin to be well. It is best to shampoo either before starting the powder elimination phase or after it's cleared up. Yeast thrives in moisture so it is best to keep your pup as dry as possible during the powder elimination phase.
The shampoo is concentrated so we do recommend diluting it. The spray bottle is just the easiest way we have found for our customers to not only dilute it but also to apply it. You would mix the 8-ounce in the 32-ounce spray bottle with water. Wet your pup, apply the spray and gently work into a lather, then rinse your pup.You can leave the shampoo on for 5-7 minutes to take most advantage of the aloe. This is not a medicated shampoo, so you do not have to use it so many times a week for so many minutes. The powder is the remedy.You do not have to dilute it if that is easier for you. Just keep in mind a little goes a long way. If you choose this route you want to make sure you start with a dime sized amount and use more water when trying to lather your pup up.
My vet kept pushing allergy meds I tried them for couple months. They worked for couple weeks and than itching would return. Vet told me give my dog 4 benadryl 2x a day. That didn't sit well with me so I ordered this powder and I think It helped alot. I still rub him down when hes been out in the pond or wet. Hes barely itching now. Im pretty positive it was yeast flair up he experienced and not allergys . Thank u
Normally he would have been scratching and digging at his ears and lickng his paws after only a few times using both the shampoo and powder he seems to have no more issues its freaking amazing
My Great Pyrenees rescue, who spends much of his time outdoors here in Tennessee gets super sensitive on his belly around the shedding grooming that has to happen in the spring. He does not at all mind being 'pouffed' with the powder and is much less sensitive as long as we keep applying it.
ordered due to a paw licker - allergies every march/april/may and this time we caught it in time so we did not have to take my girl Honey to the vet!! Thank you so much for creating these wonderful products! I tell my friends about them all the time!
Angel has a big problem with yeast, but your canine coat defense has really helped. I love this stuff and use it often. Thank you so much!
I have not used the shampoo yet but plan to soon.
I bought the shampoo , powder and the balm, and it's working so good on my dog! I have tried so many products over the last few years and this is the best!! And love the scent!! Thank you so much for making this product!!
Used this on my labradors ears and you could see all the yeast and gunk coming up after a couple days use… to think I spent so much money at the vet on ear drops and antibiotics!! This was truly a lifesaver !!
My new-to-me dog was so itchy this Spring. The Coat Defense Dog Shampoo and powder have been so effective and eliminated his discomfort! No itching and I use the powder in between baths to keep the yeasty smell down. Would definitely recommend the bundle for your itchy pup!!!!
My dog loves when I put it on with a brush. Seems to work pretty well she doesnt itch after. Still new to it so we shall see. Little pittie with skin problems 🤞🤞
Won’t be buying anything other than this for our fur baby. Frito funk is officially gone! She stays fresher longer between baths thanks to the wash and powder combo. My only regret is not purchasing sooner!
To the Customer Service Team, I am writing to share my positive experience with your dog shampoo. After a recent application, I observed a marked improvement in my dog’s coat—it is now shinier, softer to the touch, and has a much-improved fragrance. I was particularly impressed by the efficiency of the formula, as it requires very little product to achieve a high-quality wash. Thank you for developing such an effective product; I look forward to remaining a loyal customer and repurchasing in the future.
I tried the powder because I had tried everyrhing, and NOTHING was helping my four legged baby!!! First application and my puppy looked at me like, "Momma, where's this stuff been?" It has been such a difference in her skin, hair, scratching which makes her happier allway around ~ Thanks for making a product thats not full of crap!
Haven't tried the shampoo yet, but the powder seems to be working! I was out of town for a week but hubby says that our dog didn't scratch that he saw!
We absolutely love our shampoo and powder! It smells so good and leaves our girl so soft and shiny!!! We have absolutely no issues with itchiness or dryness. About to order the balm!!!
My dog had been on Apoquel for well over two years but we could not get him to stop licking his paws raw. One day we decided to give Coat Defense a shot to see if it was yeast that needed to be treated. Coat Defense QUICKLY remedied the issue. No more red paws. No more cone of shame. No more licking.
my dogs are wary of doing anything to their ears and paws .. they come to me and lay down to get this powder applied to them . they love it and helps them
The Powder seems to help with reducing the redness in my dog's rash, still waiting on the paws to look better but I'm persistent so I will continue to apply it to her paws...It's no the AH HA moment but we will see...thank you.
The powder is working great. Much less itching and my dog’s hair is starting to grow back. I like the shampoo as well. Together they are a one-two punch against the itching and the yeast infection.
