Verm-X Itch Eeze Capsules for Dogs, 50g

finished almost one full packet last summer, one capsule a day--didn't do much, if anything--my boy didn't stop scratching for over 4 months..won't buy again..

My terrier cross has had a bad grass pollen allergy since we got him several years ago. When the summers have been quite warm and had a high pollen count he has had to use atopica from the vet, £100 a month! Last year we managed with only evening primrose oil, but this year his skin was terrible. I have cancelled the pet insurance so wanted to find something cheaper that works. This works wonderfully. After about 2 weeks of using one capsule of this with evening primrose oil his skin was back to normal. Would recommend for anyone wanting to avoid high vet bills!

My dog has been suffering from allergies for some time now but medications such as antihistamines didn't seem to help, plus I didn't want to give them long term. His symptoms were at the milder end of the spectrum - rubbing his face on things, scratching his face and licking his paws. He wasn't at the more severe stage of hair loss or raw patches of skin, but it was bothering him. I tried this product because it has natural ingredients and I feel that it is better not to use drugs long term if it can be avoided. I give him one capsule morning and evening, which the directions say is supposed to be for treatment of severe symptoms, however my dog is on the large side (38kg), so by body weight the dose is probably not as high. There has been a definite improvement with the itching as he is now scratching and rubbing his face much, much less and I haven't seen him licking at his paws for weeks. The improvement started to be noticeable within a week or so. I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but at the same time as I started giving the capsules, he got diarrhea. I started him at the two capsules a day, so I took it back to one a day for a few days then reintroduced it back up to two. In case it wasn't a coincidence, I suggest that you start at one a day for a few days, then increase to two. To note, my dog does have a sensitive stomach, so it might not effect all dogs in the same way. I think this product has benefited my dog and made him more comfortable. I will buy them again when this packet runs out.

These may or may not work - but beware, they absolutely reek. My dog basically wouldn't eat if the powder had been sprinkled on/in his food (he's not a fussy eater normally). They actually smell very strongly when not even broken apart - possibly ok if you can get your dog to take them intact, but this will be a struggle for me !.

I think there is something wrong with my order. The small pack doesn't say how many capsules it contains (although it does give a weight of 50g (1.76 oz) which says it is enough for a small dog for 5 months. At the price - £38 - I thought I was getting a larger quantity, which would last our ten dogs at least a few weeks. Packaging and information very poor. In future I will buy the individual ingredients, which are not expensive.. Previously I have use the baked version which was excellent but I am a very disappointed customer with this order.

did not work with my dog

I previously used the biscuit version of these, before they replaced the biscuits with these capsules. My Boxer dog has previously had problems with his ears (infections, very dirty, etc), particularly in the spring/summer months, before I began to use the Allergy-X, 2 years ago. Since I have been using Allergy-X his ears have been clear and he has not had one problem since. The first packet of these capsules, I purchased directly from Paddocks Farm Partnership, as they were not on Amazon at the time. I have just purchased my 2nd packet from Amazon, as it works out a bit cheaper on here. I think that these capsules are stronger and more potent than the biscuits, so I feel that they will do an even better job than the biscuits did (even though the biscuits were excellent). My Boxer has an all round herbal supplement mixed with natural yogurt on daily basis, so I break the capsule and pour the contents in with this once a day (he has one capsule a day) and he loves it. The smell is very garlicy and strong, so if you think that your dog will not like it given in this way, you can always give the capsule whole in their food. Allergy-X is brilliant and very gentle on the dogs system. I try to use herbal/natural products in the first instance to solve a problem, rather than rushing to the vets. If for some reason the herbal/natural way does not work (which is very very rare !), it is only then that I go to the vets. I also feed my dogs a RAW diet now (only changed to RAW, 2 months ago), which I feel also helps with preventing health problems.

My dog had been on the biscuit formula of this for years and after the first week of use his constant itching had stopped. I had tried everything else. Sadly the biscuits were discontinued and replaced with these capsules which are just are not as good. I have seen several people agree that these caps are not as good as the biscuits. My dog has not gone back to anything like the itching and scratching of before but he is worse than when he was on the biscuits. So if you hadn't tried these biscuits and you have an itchy dog these will definitively be worth a try. These are also a bore in that they are too big to give to a small dog as a pill and as mine is such a fussy eater, sometimes he doesn'at eat anything all day, it means that these have to be 'disguised' in something like a bit of ham or meat. He used to love the biscuits and all I had to do was feed him those and now this is a palava. He is also on the biscuits by the same manufacturer for intestine health and to control worms. I hope that they do not mess around with these. Shame - the biscuits were great. These are just OK.
