Owner reviews

Irina, owner of a Pomeranian:

"One day, a lousy hairdresser shaved our dog's head. We struggled for a whole year, but his coat never grew back evenly. He also developed alopecia on his paws. We were desperate. The vet suggested hormones, but we really didn't want to resort to such drastic measures. At the pharmacy, they recommended Essential drops. Although expensive, we decided to give them a try. And now, a year later, our Pomeranian has a beautiful, thick coat. It's an excellent and safe product."

Elena, the bulldog's owner:

"To treat dermatitis on the scalp, the veterinarian prescribed Essential spot-on drops, in addition to medication. The treatment proved effective. After just one use, hair loss decreased, and the irritation became less severe. Thanks to the drops, the dermatitis didn't spread to the body. After a course of six applications, the coat became shiny, smooth, and thick. The high price is fully justified by the effectiveness. Furthermore, the ingredients are natural and safe for animals."

Anna, the collie's owner:

"My dog's coat is her greatest asset and pride. I buy special shampoos and grooming products, use only professional combs, and carefully monitor her diet. I learned about Essentiale on a dog breeder's website. I decided to give it a try, but was disappointed. The drops didn't cause any harm, but we didn't notice any significant results either, so I feel like I wasted my money."

Veterinarian Reviews

Olga, a veterinarian with 10 years of experience:

"Essential is a good product, but if there are obvious problems with the coat or skin, I recommend using it in combination with shampoos and medications. If used preventatively, your pet's coat will always be thick and shiny. I've personally seen the results on my "clients," so I have no doubt about the effectiveness of the drops."

Marina, a veterinarian with 5 years of experience:

"Essential drops have repeatedly helped my (my clients') dogs restore their coats after chemotherapy and medications that cause hair loss. It's expensive but effective, easy to use, and safe for animals. I've never had any allergic reactions."

Grigory, a veterinarian with 8 years of experience:

"Despite the fact that this product contains only natural oils, it effectively helps relieve hair and skin problems. I often prescribe it for shedding, hair loss caused by various conditions, dandruff, dryness, and other similar issues. Its effectiveness and other benefits fully offset the high price."
