| A recently published study has looked at a natural proprietary plant blend product, in which the dose of cortisone needed to control allergy symptoms was significantly decreased in a significant number of animals. This natural product called Phytopica can supposedly help allergic dogs by “maintaining a healthy immune system” and is simply added to the diet. In this one study, some dogs did not like the flavor, and definitely more work and research is needed. However, this preliminary report is certainly exciting, given the frustrations many animal guardians and veterinarians across the country in trying to manage chronic allergic skin patients. |  |
While not yet available, both veterinarians and animal guardians can learn more about this potential new product on the horizon at the website www.phytopharm.com

we tried a box of phytopica and noticed a huge difference in the skin ,coates and they all stoped scratchin,the only draw back of the herbal stuff is the smell ,like burnt coffee,it was £50 per box,and i think it was 50 we sachets,but we were paying £55 for 15 …50mg caplets at the vets for Atopica,which was slightly easyier to give them.it does stop the skin problems and the only after thing isNOT TO FEED THEM FOR 2HRS AFTER THEY ARE GIVEN THE CAPLETS,as they are very sick,so be ware.
