Use of a Homeopathic Product in Dogs Reduces the Negative Effects of Canine Atopic Dermatitis

This study investigated the effects of a homeopathic product on canine atopic dermatitis using 10 male beagle dogs divided into two groups. The treated group received a homeopathic formulation, while the control group received a placebo. After 30 days, both groups were challenged with ethoxyquin, and their antioxidant and oxidant statuses were analyzed. The treated group showed 40% less crusted lesions and 60% less hair loss compared to the control group 5 days post-challenge. Additionally, the treated group had lower levels of nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species, indicating reduced oxidative stress. The study concluded that the homeopathic product effectively reduced skin lesions and oxidative stress in dogs with atopic dermatitis.
