The Itch Loop is an educational and lifestyle guide. It is not veterinary advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan. We are not a veterinary practice and nothing on this site is offered as the practice of veterinary medicine.
1. Always consult a vet
Your dog's health is the responsibility of a registered MRCVS (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons) veterinarian. Before starting any new diet, supplement, topical product, or hygiene routine — including those described in this guide — you should consult your vet, especially if your dog:
- is pregnant, nursing, a puppy under 12 months, or senior;
- has any diagnosed condition;
- is on prescription medication;
- has known allergies or sensitivities.
2. Seek immediate veterinary care if…
- Skin is actively bleeding, has open wounds, or shows pus.
- There is sudden or severe swelling, especially on the face, throat or limbs.
- Your dog is crying out in pain, lethargic, vomiting, or has difficulty breathing.
- Symptoms get worse after starting any routine described in the Service.
3. Ingredients and dosages
Any ingredient suggestions (e.g. L-Glutamine, witch hazel, aloe vera, chamomile) and any dosages mentioned are general informational starting points only. Dogs vary widely in weight, age, breed, allergies and existing health status. Confirm suitability and dose with your vet. Patch-test topical products on a small area for 24 hours before wider use.
4. No guarantee of results
Individual results vary. Testimonials and time-frames reflect individual experiences and are not promises of any specific outcome for your dog.
5. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any harm, loss or damage to any animal or person arising from reliance on the information in the Service without appropriate veterinary supervision. See our Terms of Service.
6. Reporting concerns
If you believe content in the Service is inaccurate or unsafe, please contact support@theitchloop.co.uk so we can review it promptly.
