Securiderm - Stress-related itching in dogs and cats - 30 tablets - GREENVET

Itching in dogs and cats associated with stress

Introducing Securiderm GREENVET

Securiderm is a complementary feed for dogs and cats that helps manage dermatological problems. It particularly targets itching associated with a stress component. Its formula aims to support skin comfort while helping the animal relax.

GreenVet presents Securiderm as a solution designed for skin imbalances with a tendency towards pruritus. Pruritus refers to a sensation that prompts the animal to scratch, lick or bite itself.

Have you noticed that your dog or cat scratches more when stressed? Pruritus can maintain the animal's agitation. Conversely, stress can heighten certain scratching or licking behaviours.

Securiderm therefore combines ingredients selected for their skin-related and soothing properties. The product comes in the form of palatable tablets with a roast beef flavour.

Each box contains 30 tablets. GreenVet also states that Securiderm is manufactured in France.

Composition of Securiderm against itching

The official formula of Securiderm mainly contains:

• an extract of black horehound;
• Securidaca longepedunculata powder;
• an extract of officinal peony;
• fructo-oligosaccharides.

GreenVet combines these components in order to act on two complementary dimensions: skin discomfort and nervousness linked to pruritus.

Securidaca longepedunculata and skin comfort

Securidaca longepedunculata is an African plant. GreenVet states that some of its molecules have anti-inflammatory properties.

According to the laboratory, their affinity for skin tissue helps reduce pruritus caused by inflammation. This action also helps manage the associated inflammatory lesions.

Securiderm nevertheless remains a complementary feed. It is not a veterinary medicine and does not replace the search for the cause of itching.

Black horehound and soothing the animal

Black horehound is traditionally used during states of anxiety, distress or nervousness. GreenVet includes it in Securiderm to help soothe the nervous system.

This property addresses the behavioural component of pruritus. Indeed, itching can make dogs or cats more nervous. This agitation can then encourage repeated scratching or licking.

Officinal peony and fructo-oligosaccharides

GreenVet presents officinal peony as a plant with calming and soothing properties. It thus complements the action of black horehound.

Fructo-oligosaccharides, for their part, contribute to intestinal comfort. They belong to the family of prebiotic fibres.

The current official formula does not mention aloe vera, plantain or comfrey in the tablets. These ingredients do however appear on some competing product pages. They should therefore not be attributed to this product.

If in doubt, ask your veterinarian for advice.

Advantages of Securiderm for itching in dogs and cats

• Dual approach: Securiderm supports skin comfort and helps soothe the animal.
• Product for two species: the formula is officially suitable for dogs and cats.
• Support during pruritus: GreenVet designs it for skin imbalances with a tendency towards pruritus.
• Consideration of stress: the formula particularly targets dermatological problems associated with a stress component.
• Combination of three plants: it contains Securidaca, black horehound and officinal peony.
• Presence of prebiotics: fructo-oligosaccharides contribute to intestinal comfort.
• Palatable tablets: GreenVet uses a roast beef flavour.
• Convenient packaging: each tub contains 30 tablets.
• French manufacturing: the laboratory states that Securiderm is manufactured in France.

Itching can have different origins. GreenVet notably points out that flea bites frequently contribute to dermatitis.

Therefore, a possible parasitic infestation should also be investigated. Redness, lesions or persistent pruritus require veterinary advice.

Frequently asked questions about itching

What are the possible side effects of Securiderm?

The official Securiderm product page does not mention any specific side effect. This lack of information does not, however, guarantee that an individual reaction is impossible.

Monitor your dog or cat after giving any new complementary feed. In case of an unusual reaction or worsening of itching, stop using it and ask your veterinarian for advice.

Is Securiderm a veterinary medicine?

No, Securiderm is officially presented as a complementary feed for dogs and cats. It is therefore not a veterinary medicine.

It helps manage skin imbalances with a tendency towards pruritus. However, it does not replace either a veterinary diagnosis or a treatment prescribed for an identified dermatological condition.

Is Securiderm suitable for dogs and cats?

Yes, GreenVet intends Securiderm for both dogs and cats. The product addresses dermatological problems associated notably with a stress component.

Its presentation as palatable tablets allows the same product to be used for both species. It is nevertheless necessary to seek veterinary advice when pruritus persists or is accompanied by skin lesions.

Can Securiderm be combined with a local skin treatment?

GreenVet states that Securiderm tablets can be combined with local treatments from the same range. This range notably includes a mousse, a spray and a balm.

These products do not, however, have the same form or the same use. The tablets act as an oral complementary feed, while the other products are applied locally to the skin. Ask your veterinarian for advice before combining them.
