Less Itch. More Spring.

Spring should mean grass rolls, long walks, sunshine, fresh air and your dog throwing themselves into every adventure.

Not constant scratching, paw licking or restless nights.

Healthy skin is about more than how your dog looks. It is about how they feel.

When your dog is comfortable in their skin, they can get back to what they love most.

More walks. More play. More naps in the sun. More Spring.

The important bits

• Itchy skin is not always caused by allergies alone.
• Skin barrier health, gut health, grooming, stress and mobility can all influence skin comfort.
• Supporting skin from both inside and outside can help maintain healthy, resilient skin.
• Antinol^® Skin Topical Spray helps soothe sensitive skin, maintain hydration and support the skin barrier.
• Persistent, broken, infected or worsening skin should always be checked by your veterinarian.

Support their skin from the outside in

When your dog is uncomfortable, you want to help them feel better as quickly as possible.

Antinol^® Skin Topical Spray provides direct support to areas such as the paws, belly and ears.

Its gentle, steroid free formula contains:

• Totarol^®
  Supports everyday skin care.
• Allantoin
  Helps soothe and care for sensitive skin.
• Ceramides
  Help support moisture balance and the skin barrier.

The spray is fast drying, non greasy and suitable for regular use on intact skin.

It gives you a simple way to support the areas needing extra care while also considering the bigger picture of your dog’s skin health.

Because the goal is not simply less scratching.

It is helping your dog feel comfortable enough to get back to enjoying life.

1. When the Skin’s Natural Defence Needs Support

Your dog’s skin is their first line of defence.

A healthy skin barrier helps retain moisture and protects against everyday environmental irritants.

When that barrier is compromised, you may notice dryness, flaking, dandruff, greasy skin, sensitivity or a dull coat.

Good nutrition, appropriate fatty acids, gentle grooming and topical care can all help support healthy skin and its natural protective barrier.

When that barrier is working well, your dog can spend less time feeling uncomfortable and more time running, exploring, playing and rolling in the grass.

2. What’s Happening Inside Can Show Up Outside

Your dog’s gut and skin are connected through what is commonly called the gut skin axis.

The gut microbiome plays an important role in digestion, nutrient utilisation and normal immune function.

A complete and balanced diet is the foundation, while probiotics, prebiotics and other gut supporting nutrients may also help support digestive health.

If your dog experiences ongoing digestive concerns alongside skin problems, speak with your veterinarian.

Looking after the whole dog can help support better wellbeing from the inside out.

3. When Licking, Scratching or Matting Becomes Part of the Problem

Both too much and too little grooming can affect your dog’s skin.

Excessive licking, chewing or scratching can make irritated skin worse, while undergrooming can allow mats, moisture and debris to build up close to the skin.

You may notice:

• Paw licking
• Fur staining
• Thinning hair
• Bald patches
• Matted coat
• Repeated attention to one area

Regular brushing helps maintain coat health and gives you the opportunity to spot changes early.

A few minutes checking their coat can mean noticing a problem before it becomes uncomfortable.

If your dog suddenly starts grooming excessively or repeatedly focuses on one area, it is worth investigating the underlying cause.

4. Comfort, Movement and Stress Can All Play a Role

Skin health can also be connected to how your dog feels and moves.

Stress can contribute to repetitive behaviours such as licking and chewing, while dogs with reduced mobility may struggle to groom certain areas properly.

A dog experiencing joint discomfort may also repeatedly lick one particular area while avoiding others they can no longer reach comfortably.

Changes in routine, movement, sleep, activity or behaviour can provide useful clues when skin concerns appear.

Looking at the whole dog, not just the irritated patch, can help you understand what may be contributing.

5. When Moisture and Irritation Start to Build Up

Warm, moist areas can be more prone to skin irritation, especially in dogs with deep skin folds where moisture and warmth can become trapped.

A small irritation, flea bite, graze or itchy patch can also become more complicated if your dog continues licking or scratching.

Watch for:

• Redness
• Strong or unusual odour
• Moisture
• Crusting
• Oozing
• Hair loss
• Increased sensitivity
• Persistent licking or scratching

Regular cleaning and checking can help you notice changes early and prevent a small concern from becoming more uncomfortable.

If the skin is broken, infected, weeping or getting worse, speak with your veterinarian.

Antinol^® Skin Topical Spray should only be used on intact skin.

Support healthy skin from the inside and outside

Healthy skin is influenced by much more than allergies alone.

Nutrition, gut health, grooming, stress, mobility and everyday skin care can all play a role.

From within, Antinol^® Plus provides concentrated marine lipids that support healthy skin, coat condition and the skin barrier.

From the outside, Antinol^® Skin Topical Spray helps soothe sensitive skin, maintain hydration and support the skin barrier.

Together, they provide a simple approach:

Support the skin underneath. Care for the skin you can see.

Because healthy skin is not just about reducing an itch.

It is about giving your dog more comfort, more freedom and more moments to simply enjoy being a dog.

More walks.

More grass rolls.

More play.

More sunshine.

Less Itch. More Spring.
