COMING SOON - Rooted Defense
Skin + Immune Support for Dogs
For dogs dealing with itching, allergies, and recurring skin flare-ups.
Rooted Defense is a small-batch herbal tincture designed to support what’s driving skin irritation—not just what you can see.
It works from the inside out to help calm inflammation, support immune balance, and maintain healthier skin over time.
Is this for your dog?
If you’ve been noticing:
• Constant itching or scratching
• Paw licking or chewing
• Seasonal allergies
• Red, irritated skin
• Hot spots or recurring flare-ups
Then you already know something isn’t right.
This formula was made for that exact situation.
Supports more than just the surface
Skin issues in dogs are rarely just skin-deep.
They’re often connected to:
• An overactive immune response
• Ongoing inflammation
• Microbial imbalance
Rooted Defense is designed to support all three at once—helping break the cycle instead of just managing the symptoms.
How this formula actually works
Skin issues in dogs usually aren’t just about the skin.
They’re often connected to a few things happening at the same time:
• The immune system overreacting
• Ongoing inflammation in the body
• Imbalances that make the skin more reactive
Rooted Defense was designed to support all of these at once—because focusing on just one piece usually isn’t enough.
The approach behind the formula
Instead of relying on a single “hero” ingredient, this blend is built in layers.
Each herb has a specific role:
• Foundation support → helps regulate immune response
• Tissue support → helps calm and repair irritated skin
• Microbial balance → helps keep underlying imbalances in check
• Synergy → helps everything work together more effectively
This kind of layering is what allows the formula to support real change over time—not just short-term relief.
Why these herbs were chosen
Each ingredient was selected based on how it supports the systems involved in skin health:
• Nettle leaf → supports healthy immune response and helps calm allergic reactivity
• Plantain leaf → soothes irritated tissues and supports skin repair
• Oregon grape root → supports microbial balance and helps address underlying contributors
• Licorice root → supports inflammation response and helps the formula work more effectively as a whole
They’re simple on their own—but together, they cover multiple layers of what’s going on.
Why this isn’t a quick-fix product
This formula is designed to support the body—not override it.
That means:
• It may take time to see full results
• It works best with consistent use
• It’s focused on helping the body rebalance, not forcing a fast reaction
For many dogs, that’s what leads to more stable, long-term improvement.
How to use
Give 1–2 times daily based on body weight:
• 20 lbs → 0.5–1 mL
• 40 lbs → 1–2 mL
• 50 lbs → 1.25–2.5 mL
• 60 lbs → 1.5–3 mL
Lower end → daily maintenance, mild seasonal sensitivity, long-term support
Mid-range → active irritation, increased licking, mild inflammation
Upper end → flare-ups, short-term support (up to 14 days)
May be given directly or mixed with food
Safety
Use caution if your dog:
• Is on prescription medications
• Has liver, kidney, or heart conditions
• Is receiving corticosteroids
• Has a chronic or complex medical condition
Always consult with a licensed veterinarian before introducing herbal products, especially for dogs with existing health concerns or those taking medications.
Discontinue use if adverse reactions occur and consult your veterinarian if needed.
