Reviews

Maria Semenovna Ilchenko, veterinarian

Cytoderm drops for dogs have earned excellent reviews for their ability to quickly resolve pet skin problems and improve the quality of their coat. This dermatological care product restores skin hydration, prevents flaking and dandruff, and adds a healthy shine to the coat, reduces hair loss, and accelerates growth. Among other benefits, Cytoderm provides a natural scent to your dog's coat.

CitoDerm is a safe product made from natural ingredients, and this domestic product is much less expensive than foreign analogues designed for comprehensive coat and skin care. For example, the French product Dermoscent Essential, which contains virtually the same set of plant oils, costs almost three times as much: a set of four 0.6 ml pipettes costs 1,500 rubles.

Mikhail, Krasnodar

"When my terrier, Archie, started scratching himself and bald spots appeared on his fur, I was afraid it might be some kind of dangerous disease. But the vet, after a thorough examination, found no abnormalities and suggested stress was the cause—we had recently moved from a single-family home to a high-rise apartment. The vet advised waiting for the dog to get used to his new home and, to alleviate the external effects of stress, recommended trying Cytoderm drops. We bought the drops and used them as directed for two months. The results were excellent: Archie stopped scratching, and the hair in the bald spots is growing back. It's a good product, I recommend it."

Olga, Stavropol

"After her spaying, our dog's back skin started peeling for some reason, and she developed a thick, dandruff-like sheath. Small bald spots also developed. The vet prescribed Cytoderm dermatological drops, which should be applied weekly to the withers or between the shoulder blades. We bought this product, and within a week we saw the results: the dandruff was gone! The drops contain natural oils, so our dog didn't experience any discomfort. Immediately after application, the fur on her neck looked a little greasy, but within two days, the oils had completely absorbed into the skin. We used Cytoderm for two months, and during this time, the bald spots were completely covered with hair. For those whose dogs refuse vitamin tablets, Cytoderm drops are an excellent option."
