Use the right tool for the job. For itchy, irritated skin, reach for a gentle, botanically-backed daily spray. Save hypochlorous (HOCl) for short-term wound cleansing when your veterinarian recommends it.
| Job | Natural, botanically-backed spray (K9 Advanced™) | HOCl spray (hypochlorous) |
|---|---|---|
| Itchy skin / flare-ups | Daily comfort for paws, belly, hot-spot-prone zones. | Not the go-to—HOCl is a cleanser step, not a comfort routine. |
| Minor wound clean | Use after the area is clean to support a calmer routine. | Short-term cleansing as advised by your veterinarian. |
| Frequency | Daily or as needed around baths, brushes, and play. | Acute/short-term; follow veterinary guidance. |
| Feels like | Light, no-sting; designed for repetition on sensitive skin. | Water-light cleanser; not built as a daily comfort product. |
Always follow label directions and your veterinarian’s advice for your dog.
Red flags (heat, swelling, foul odor, spreading lesions, behavior changes) → call your veterinarian.
A comfort routine you can run every day without drama.
Quick spritz after the park, grooming, or bath—done.
One steady pattern often beats constant product roulette.
Yes—many owners keep a natural daily spray for comfort and reserve HOCl for short-term cleansing when a vet recommends it.
Let products absorb before covering; keep wraps clean and dry; follow your vet’s instructions.
Most see the best results by running a steady daily rhythm through flare-up seasons and after high-exposure days (park, trail, pool).

My horse had a huge hematoma I spent months trying to get it to heal. The vet ended up lancing it but it was still having issues draining due to swelling. I had done just about everything I could; poultice 12on/12off, cold hose twice a day, bute, and antibiotics. I felt like I couldn’t stay on top of it. ONE day of using this liniment the results showed immediately. The swelling decreased by 50% and he overall looked a lot more comfortable. A few days later it was healed up and scabbed over.
