Hot Spot Complete Healing Kit:

What Causes Hot Spots?

 

The majority of hot spots, atopic dermatitis, skin infections, and yeast infections tend to not heal because the dog's outer skin membranes are damaged and weak. As a result, this weak skin is unable to stay healthy to protect itself from hot psots and skin conditions. So why do seemingly healthy dogs have this unhealthy skin?

 

The answer is because the skin is not able to process and absorb the needed nutrients needed for a healthy skin and coat. In other words, regardless of the quality of diet your dog is on, he or she, is most likely not able to process the nutrients, minerals and vitamins.

 

How Can This Be?

 

Remember Dogs (Canines), have a lineage of pact animals and their digestive systems are designed for raw meats, foods found in nature, and organic compounds. As a result they lack specific digestive enzymes needed to process and absorb nutrients found in the diets of today. As a result they become deficient of certain minerals and nutrients, and the first and most obvious place dog's show these deficiencies is on their skin and their coat.

 

These deficiencies result in weak skin cells, the outer skin membrane, sebum glands, hair shafts and follicles. As a result hot spots and infections form.

How Does SkinPlex Help?

 

SkinPlex PLUS Healing Enzymes and Nutrients are a supplement that provide your dog's digestive system with specific naturally occurring enzymes that it lacking to properly process the nutrients in its diet. These enzymes then act as a catalyst to allow your dog to absorb minerals, vitamins, and nutrition in his or her diet (diet includes food, supplements, and treats!)

 

Additionally SkinPlex also provides your dog with Omega 3 and 6 which greatly help to improve the health and look of a dog's coat and skin.

Depending on your dog's breed and weight you can expect to see dramatic results in about 3-weeks time. The first thing you will notice is less itching followed by an much shiner and healthy looking coat – this is the tell tale sign that the enzymes are doing their job!

 

How Does DermaMax Help?

 

DermaMax Healing Cream contains an amazing combination of natural ingredients that will quickly eliminate bacterial and fungual growth associated with Hot Spots. At the same time, DermaMax will heal and mositutize the skin back to optimal health.

 

 

How Does RenuPlex Shampoo Help?

 

Regardless of the reason behind your dog skin problems, it is apparent that the skin itself needs to be moisturized and healed – this is where RenuPlex comes in. RenuPlex Healing Shampoo is a premium pet shampoo formulated with high amounts of Aloe Vera, Colloidal Oatmeal, Essential Oils, Zinc-PCA, and a host of other healing ingredients that will quickly replenish and hydrate your dog's dry itchy skin. RenuPlex Leave-in Spray is a Silk Protein Conditioner that provides the moisturizing nourishment in between baths. Not only does the conditioner help to heal but it is also great for shinning the coat, removing foul smells, and as a daily freshening up spray!

What is Zinc-PCA and why is it so important?

 

Both RenuPlex Shampoo and RenuPlex Conditioner contain a special form of zinc, called Zinc-PCA. Unlike other forms of zinc, zinc-pca helps to rebalance sebum glands which are the glands that produce oils on a dogs skin. Until these glands rebalance and produce the proper amount of oils, your dog will either experience dry skin, or oily skin. Either case results in itching and scratching and often leads to infections.

 

Why don't other pet shampoos contain zinc-pca?

 

Zinc-PCA is very expensive. While it is found in select high grade medicated shampoos for humans, most pet shampoos are produced from lower grade, mass produced bulk formulations that lack quality ingredients at proper levels. More information on Zinc-PCA for dogs skin.

Should I use only DermaMax, RenuPlex or only SkinPlex?

 

If you believe your dogs skin problems are simply a result of good old fashioned dry skin, juts using RenuPlex Shampoo and RenuPlex Conditioner will work for you. This is typically the case if your dog has never before experienced itching and scratching. If, on the other hand, you notice chronic itching, or if it comes and goes, you should use both Skin and RenuPlex.

 

What about just using SkinPlex? SkinPlex is the product that truly treats the cause of the problem and not just the symptoms. Having said that RenuPlex Shampoo and Conditioner will help to heal the skin and coat, which is already damaged, while SkinPlex takes effect. Once healed you no longer will need to use RenuPlex.

 

Why is SkinPlex Better Than Other Enzymes?

 

Added to this, over 90% of all dogs suffer from severe zinc deficiencies in their skin. Only SkinPlex provides an optimal balance of zinc to rebalance the skin cell layer to optimal health. Dogs benefit greatly from specific nutrients such as Omega's, Zinc, and essential vitamins. SkinPlex PLUS contains the most complete and comprehensive spectrum of enzymes and nutrients to provide relief from skin conditions, allergies, joint and hip pain, epilepsy, and a host of other health issues. Unlike the other enzymes on the market, SkinPlex Plus is supplemented with Zinc, Omega 3's and 6's from Organic Kelp, and over 25 vitamins.

Product Instructions and Ingredients

 

SkinPlex Skin Healing Enzymes & Nurtients:

 

Available in 8 ounce size (3 to 4 month supply)

Usage and Directions:

Sprinkle 2 scoops (approximately 1,250 mgs) per each 1 cup of food (scoop is provided with SkinPlex) for dogs weighing 2 to 175 pounds.

Ingredients:

• Protease: Proteases refers to a group of enzymes whose catalytic function is to hydrolyze (breakdown) proteins. They are also called proteolytic enzymes or proteinases. Proteolytic enzymes are very important in digestion as they breakdown the the peptide bonds in the protein foods to liberate the amino acids needed by the body. Additionally, proteolytic enzymes have been used for a long time in various forms of therapy. Their use in medicine is notable based on several clinical studies indicating their benefits in oncology, inflammatory conditions, blood rheology control, hot spots on dogs, and immune regulation.
• Amylase: Amylase is an enzyme that changes complex sugars (starches) into simple sugars during digestion. Amylase hydrolyzes starch, and dextrin to form in all three instances glucose, maltose, and the limit-dextrins. Amylase is secreted by the salivary glands and the pancreas that helps in the digestion of carbohydrates which play a big role in mitigating dog hot spots.
• Seaweed Kelp: Seaweed Kelp is loaded with Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids which are essential elements for overall dog health, and aids in repairing hot spots on dogs especially with respect to the heart, skin, and cardiovascular systems.
• Zinc: Zinc is an essential mineral which is deficient in most dog diets. Zinc deficiency results in skin irritations, itching, and degraded skin cell repair.
• Cellause: Cellulases are a group of enzymes catalyzing an enzymatic reaction system in which cellulose is decomposed into glucose, cellobiose or cellooligosaccharides. Cellulase is an enzyme complex which breaks down cellulose to beta-glucose. Cellulases are key industrial enzymes used to breakdown biomass to fermentable sugars.
• Hemicellulase: Hemicellulase is an enzyme that breaks down hemicellulose. Hemicellulose categorizes a variety of polysaccharides that are more complex than sugars and less complex than cellulose, that are found in plant walls. Hemicellulase is a mixture of enzymes which can hydrolyze the indigestible components of plant fibers. Since dogs lack the endogenous enzymes required to digest plant fibers, the supplementation of hemicellulase provides dogs with an additional source of nutrition and reduces the bulking effect of fibrous foods. Scientific evidence suggests that carbohydrolytic enzymes, such as Hemicellulase, can be useful supplements for digestive support, preventing hot spots on dogs, and general nutritional support.
• Lipase: Lipase is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas into the small intestines. Lipase is an enzyme necessary for the absorption and digestion of nutrients in the intestines. Lipase catalyzes the breakdown of triglycerides into fatty acids. As with amylase, lipase appears in the blood following damage to the pancreatic acinar cells.
• Papin: Papain is in the dried latex obtained from the papaya fruit (Carica papaya L). Papain hydrolyzes proteins to form oligopeptides and amino acids. Papain has milk-clotting (rennet) and protein digesting properties. Papain has the ability to digest dead tissue without affecting the surrounding live tissue.
• Omega 3 and Omega 6 (Seaweed Kelp): Seaweed Kelp is loaded with Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids which are essential elements for overall dog health, especially with respect to the heart, skin, and cardiovascular systems. Bromelan: Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples that breaks down other proteins, such as collagen and muscle fiber.
• Bromelain: Bromelain is a mixture of sulfur-containing protein-digesting enzymes, called proteolytic enzymes or proteases. Bromelain is mainly comprised of cysteine proteases, with smaller amounts of acid phosphatase, peroxidase, amylase and cellulase.
• Pectinase: Pectinase is a valuable enzymes that helps the digestive system better absorb nutrients.
• Maltodextrin: Natural starch based preservative. Very effective as an enzyme preservative. Also helps reduce rashes and skin problems
• Beta-Glucanase: Beta Glucanase digests fiber which helps remedy digestive problems such as malabsorption. An important enzyme to add because the cat or dog's body cannot produce it on its own. Beta Glucanase helps in the breakdown of plant walls (cellulose), and increases the overall efficiency of binding excess toxins in the intestines for removal. Beta Glucanase may be beneficial in helping to avoid Candida (yeast infections), bloating, foul gas and acute food allergies.
