What Is Eezapet? A Natural Approach to the Itch
What Is Eezapet? A Natural Approach to the Itch
Your dog is itchy, you’re stressed, and you just want answers.
If you’ve found yourself Googling “why is my dog so itchy?” or “natural remedies for itchy dogs”, you’re not alone — and you’re in the right place.
We’re here to help you understand the “why” behind your dog’s itch… and how Eezapet fits into the bigger picture.
What Is Eezapet?
Eezapet is a 100% natural, fast-acting topical balm designed to help soothe and support irritated, itchy, or reactive skin in dogs (and other animals too).
It’s simple, gentle, and designed with one goal in mind:
To help break the itch–scratch cycle so your dog can finally feel more comfortable.
Unlike harsh products that can sting or overwhelm sensitive skin, Eezapet is:
- Gentle and non-stinging
- Safe to use on broken skin
- Safe if licked
- Fast-acting (often within minutes)
- Long-lasting (typically 4–6 hours of support)
But here’s the most important part…
👉 It’s not about masking the problem.
👉 It’s about supporting your dog while you work on the root cause.
Because itchy skin is never just ‘a skin problem’ and we need to look at the whole picture, the whole dog to form a pattern.
Who Is Heather — And Why Eezapet Exists
Eezapet didn’t start in a lab.
It started with two very itchy dogs.
Heather — the founder — knows exactly how it feels to have a dog that just won’t stop scratching. The stress, the frustration, the feeling that nothing works.
“Been there, done that — I’ve been an itchy dog owner too.”
Her first dog, Coco, sparked the journey.
Her second dog, Bhindi, pushed it even further — leading to deep research into allergies, gut health, environment, and what actually drives itching in dogs.
That journey led to one simple realisation:
If nothing works… build something that does.
Eezapet was created in 2014 to give pets the same opportunity we have — natural, effective, gentle care that supports the body, not fights it.
And that philosophy still guides everything today:
- Natural first
- Do no harm
-
Be honest, always
Why Dogs Get Itchy (And Why It Keeps Coming Back)
If you’re dealing with an itchy dog, you’ve probably already tried a few things.
Shampoos. Diet changes. Medications. Creams.
And maybe… temporary relief, but it keeps coming back.
That’s because itching is usually a signal, not the root problem.
From a whole-dog perspective, common triggers include:
-
Environmental allergens (grass, pollen, dust
mites) - Fleas or insect bites
- Food sensitivities
- Contact irritants (plants, chemicals, detergents)
- Moisture and skin barrier breakdown
- Microbiome imbalance
And here’s something many people don’t realise:
👉 Around 80% of your dog’s immune system lives in the gut
So when the system is already under pressure, even small triggers can tip your dog into a full itch response.
That’s why we always say:
Support the skin… while working on the “why.”
What Ingredients Are in Eezapet — And Why
Eezapet keeps things simple with seven natural ingredients, each chosen for a reason.
These ingredients are rooted in traditional herbal use and supported by modern understanding of skin health.
Key ingredients include:
- Sesame oil → supports skin and provides antioxidant properties
- Beeswax → creates a natural barrier and helps protect the skin
- Angelica → traditionally used to help calm itching
- Figwort & Peony → known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory support
- Rhubarb root & Cinnamon → help maintain skin balance and cleanliness
Individually & collectively our herbs work to:
✔ Soothe irritated skin
✔ Support the skin barrier
✔ Help calm the urge to scratch
✔ Create a protective barrier
No fillers. No harsh chemicals. No shortcuts.
Just simple, purposeful ingredients that work with your dog’s body — not against it.
How to Use Eezapet (Simple, Stress-Free)
One of the biggest goals with Eezapet is to reduce stress.
You don’t need a complicated routine.
Here’s how to use it:
- Apply a small amount directly to the affected area
- Gently rub it in
- Use twice daily as needed
- Wandering Dew rashes and hot spots may need 4 times per day initially
💡 Pro tip:
Apply Eezapet when your dog is distracted (before a walk, feeding time, or training) as some dogs like to lick Eezapet, some don’t. Although safe to lick you want it on the skin so it has time to activate and absorb.
You can also use it:
- Before walks (as a protective barrier for grass/pollen)
- After exposure (to soothe and calm skin quickly)
- At the first sign of licking or redness (this is key)
Because the earlier you break the itch–scratch cycle… the easier it is to manage.
What Has Eezapet Been Used For?
Eezapet is used by pet owners, groomers, rescues, and professionals across New Zealand and beyond.
Common situations include:
- Itchy skin and allergies
- Hot spots
- Rashes and redness
- Cuts and abrasions
- Insect bites and stings
- Dry or cracked skin
- Sunburn or irritated skin
It’s also trusted by rescue organisations and used in real-world situations where skin needs gentle, reliable support. Horse owners, Cat owners, rabbits, guinea-pigs, rats, mice even finches too - everyone uses Eezapet, and the best thing - we tested on humans first.
