If the flare-ups keep returning no matter what you treat them with, the problem usually isn't on the skin. It's underneath it. This is the bundle we start every one of these families on: rebuild the inside, calm the outside, at the same time.
Maybe it started with some paw licking or a hot spot you caught early. By now you might be up at night listening to the scratching, and you've probably been through a few rounds of steroids, allergy shots, medicated dips, or special diets. They help for a while. Then the itching comes back, because the treatments were calming the skin without ever reaching what was causing it. We've heard this story from thousands of families over the phone. Here's what they usually tell us they're seeing:
Most of the dogs in the photos further down this page had nearly all of these. Most had been told it was allergies. Some of their families had all but run out of hope.
If you just nodded at three or more of these,
you're in the right place.
We've had thousands of conversations that start the same way: the allergy panel came back, the offending foods left the bowl, sometimes the carpet left the house. And the dog is still miserable. When removing every "allergen" changes nothing, it's fair to ask a different question: what if the allergies are a symptom of a larger problem? In our experience, that larger problem is usually yeast, and it starts in the gut.
A healthy gut holds large colonies of friendly bacteria that keep a small, normal population of yeast in line. Antibiotics, steroids, processed food, and flea and tick chemicals knock those colonies down.
Yeast is opportunistic. As the friendly bacteria thin out, it spreads, and its waste products pile up faster than the gut can handle.
The excess leaches into the bloodstream, and the body pushes it out through its filters: the skin, the ears, the paws, the eyes.
Irritation and inflammation wherever the filtering happens: itching, odor, blackening skin, ears that never stay clear. It looks exactly like allergies. The root is the gut.
That's why treating the skin alone hasn't worked.
The skin was never the problem.
The treatments do exactly what they promise. They're just aimed at the surface, and this problem doesn't live there.
A yeast imbalance in the gut is foundational, not superficial, so the answer has to be too. This program works three jobs at once: make the inside unfriendly to yeast, support the body while the buildup clears, and re-seed the friendly bacteria that hold the balance for good. Then it calms the outside while the inside does the slow, real work.
It's the same approach we've recommended since 1999, one dog at a time. Allow us to introduce you to the six products in our Skin Rescue Bundle.
Creams and dips only ever reach the surface. This bundle works both fronts at once: live sprouted nutrition and probiotics rebuilding the balance from within, botanical and pH support backing the cleanup, and real relief for the skin and coat while it happens.
The rebuild
Sprouted Granules are the foundation: live whole-food nutrition the whole rebuild stands on. Bac-Pak Plus restores the balanced gut, re-seeding the probiotics and enzymes that keep yeast in its place. Both just sprinkle over food.
The inside team
Tincture of Black Leaf is the herbal defense: black walnut, olive leaf, and cayenne, backing the fight already underway. Ox-E Drops balances the immune system's response, supporting the healthy internal pH that yeast dislikes most. Both by syringe, or straight into food or water.
The relief
Skin Rescue Shampoo is the relief on bath day: a plant-based enzymatic wash that calms the skin underneath the coat. Ox-E Mineral Mist is the relief on the spot, for ears, folds, paws, and hot spots in between. The skin gets real relief while the inside work happens.
That's the whole protocol.

An imbalance that took years to build doesn't leave in a week, and anyone promising otherwise is selling the loop again. This is the toughest program we offer. It's also the one we support the hardest: a personalized interactive guide in your inbox minutes after you order, weekly emails walking you through each phase, and real people on the phone the whole way. Here's the shape of a typical rebuild, drawn from thousands of dogs since 1999.
Your guide introduces the products one at a time: granules the first week, Bac-Pak the next, and so on, so your dog's body can adjust as each one joins in.
With all four internal products working, the die-off and detox begin. Odor and flaring can spike even while digestion settles and energy lifts underneath. It looks alarming, and it's normal and expected. The guide walks you through it, and so will we.
For many dogs the detox crests around months three to four, right when it's most tempting to quit. Then the visible turn: calmer skin, coat filling back in, the 2am scratching stops.
The gut keeps rebalancing well after the coat looks good. Most families step down to maintenance on one or two products, and we help you decide when.
Real relief takes time, and we'll guide you every step of the way.
Yeast feeds on the starches and sugars in a lot of commercial food, so what's in the bowl plays a real part in this rebuild. The guide that comes with the bundle walks you through all of it, week by week. If you're curious now, our free recommended-foods list is a good place to start: sorted by brand and by type, with the options we lean on when yeast is the concern.

"These products, used together, saved my rescue dog. … These products really do make a world of difference."
Elle S. · Verified review, 2019
"Lives up to what it claims – dog's black skin disease is reversing. Even vet astounded."
MG · Verified review, 2019
"We've felt that our 6 year old Pug/Jack Russell's scratching started to lessen after about 1-2 weeks, and the shedding and smelling improved after about 4-5 weeks with a brief period that was worse in the middle of that time-frame. Just this past week, friends and family starting to remark about how she's smelling MUCH better and that she even smells GOOD! Its remarkable, thank you!"
Sara Kolenda · Verified review, 2019
"It has taken a little bit, but that was to be expected since she has had yeast for a very, very long time. She has more energy, a better appetite, and her potty schedule is actually regular now. The rusty-looking stains between her paw pads are fading, as well. I've seen great improvements in her overall."
Susan White · Verified review, 2024
"In 90 days Shug's skin was pink & his coat was back… beautiful & unbelievably thick."
Cheryl L · Verified review, 2021
"My dog was in misery with no help from my vet other than steroids. He has been on the mini kit for almost 2 months and his skin is better and his fur has grown back. Thank you so much."
Kate Stone · Verified review, 2022
"I have been using the products for 9 weeks on my pom, and hair is growing in! I can even say he is getting fluffy! He still has some black skin, and bald spots. It does take time, but it is happening. There is so much improvement, I know it is working, and I am so happy and encouraged."
Jean Mains · Verified review, 2020
"I bought this kit and changed Peabody's food. I noticed soon after starting the program a change. Now two months in and he is doing so much better. He doesn't itch like he had been. I also changed his food according to all the articles I read on their website. I tell everyone about Nzymes."
Diane McIntyre · Verified review, 2022
"Please note, you must follow the instructions exactly and stay very diligent in maintaining this new routine and food. Every instruction is very thorough and staff is very willing and knowledgeable when (not if) you have questions. Little Ernie is still working through his allergies, but we've made much progress and are in this for the long haul! Great products, great program that's nicely run!!"
Kristi Wehrwein · Verified review, 2020
"His skin went from red, swollen, and horrible to smooth and healthy. I'm so grateful for Nzymes — it gave my baby his life back."
Washa's family · Customer story
"She's thriving with a thick black coat now. We're both happy and so relieved — THANK YOU Nzymes!"
Kirra's family · Arizona · Customer story
"I don't know what we would've done if I hadn't found Nzymes. Gracie's skin turned the corner and she's finally comfortable again."

A few weeks after your box arrives, we'll check in to see how it's going. Your order also starts our week-by-week emails for this protocol: what to do, what you should be seeing, and a button to book a free consult in every single one. You'll never walk this alone.
Six pieces working one problem: Sprouted Granules (the live whole-food foundation), Bac-Pak Plus (probiotics + enzymes), Ox-E Drops and Tincture of Black Leaf (the inside team), Skin Rescue Shampoo (bath day), and Ox-E Mineral Mist (between baths), plus our interactive Skin Rescue guide, emailed to you minutes after you order. The Small Dogs bundle carries the 1 lb granules bag and 100g Bac-Pak; the Standard carries the 2 lb bag and 200g.
You can, and some families start that way. But yeast is a whole-body pattern: the imbalance lives in the gut, shows up on the skin, and hides in ears and paw folds. Treating one front at a time is how families end up in the flare-and-return cycle. The bundle works all of it at once, inside and out, which is why it's the program we start allergy and yeast families on.
An interactive companion we built for exactly this protocol. It arrives in your email within minutes of your order; enter your dog's name and weight and it calculates the exact daily amounts for each product, week by week, along with bathing cadence, feeding and diet guidance, and what you'll see and when. So while the box is still on its way, you already know exactly what day one looks like, and every day after it.
That's the question you came here with, and we'll answer it honestly: the Skin Rescue Bundle is nutrition and topical care, not a drug, so it doesn't treat, cure, or prevent allergies, yeast infections, or any disease. What it does is rebuild the internal balance that healthy skin depends on, while giving the outside real relief along the way.
What we can tell you: the yeast-and-allergy call is the one we've answered more than any other in over 25 years, and the before-and-afters on this page are what families say it looked like at their house. We're confident enough to carry the risk: take four full months, and if you don't see the difference, the 120 Day Worry-Free Guarantee returns your money.
This one deserves a real conversation, not a paragraph. Every dog's situation with medications is different, so book a free consult and we'll walk through yours together.
We'll be straight with you: skin is the last thing to show what the inside is doing, and yeast that took years to build doesn't leave in a week. Families usually see the early signals first (digestion settling, energy lifting, less odor between baths), with the visible surface turn most often landing in the three-to-seven-month window. Some dogs move faster, some slower. That's exactly why the guarantee is 120 days: it's sized to the real timeline, so you can watch the turn begin without risk.
Often, yes. What's in the bowl is part of how yeast got the upper hand, and the included guide walks you through the feeding side step by step. Our free recommended-foods guide sorts the good options by brand and by type: kibble, raw, and picks for dogs fighting yeast. If you want to talk it through for your specific dog before you start, book the free consult; it's exactly the kind of question it exists for.
More likely, something is working. There is a worse-before-better phase in this protocol, and we tell every family the same thing: your dog will get worse before it gets better. That is normal and expected. Here's why: all four internal products act as detoxifying agents. The guide introduces them one at a time (granules the first week, Bac-Pak the next, and so on), and as each one joins in, the die-off and detox pick up. The yeast has to leave the body somehow, and it takes the path of least resistance: out through the skin, the ears, the paws. For many dogs this reaches its peak around months three to four, right when it's most tempting to quit.
The guide covers this phase in detail so you know what you're looking at. And if you hit a stretch where you need encouragement, or just someone to tell you "yes, this is normal," reach out. Keep going. This is the part of the road most families are on when the turn comes.
It changes as the skin changes: more frequent during an active flare, tapering off as things settle. Your guide lays out the exact cadence for each phase, so you always know the next step. The Mineral Mist covers the days in between: ears, folds, paws, and any spot that needs attention.
The granules and Bac-Pak are mild and disappear into meals; most dogs never notice them. The drops go in by syringe or vanish into food or water. And if it truly doesn't work for your dog, the guarantee covers picky eaters too.
There's almost always another way in. If your dog bolts from the spray bottle, spray the Mineral Mist onto a soft cloth or cotton pad and wipe it onto the skin, ears, or paws instead. The drops can go in by syringe, stirred into food, or into the water bowl, whichever your dog accepts. Before you drop a piece of the protocol, book a free consultation; we've helped a lot of stubborn dogs find their way in.
Keep the routine running right through them. If your dog goes to a groomer, send the Skin Rescue Shampoo along and ask them to use it (or have them skip the wash and do bath day at home), so a scented shop shampoo doesn't undo the skin's progress. Expect the coat to look uneven while it regrows; that's the rebuild showing, not a setback.
The daily amounts scale by weight, and the two bundle sizes cover everyone. Ginger, in the photos above, was 13. For very young puppies or a complicated case, give us a call before you start and we'll help you set the routine.
Absolutely. The daily amounts scale by each dog's weight, so a shared bundle simply runs out sooner, and it's built to last: the granules are the most economical form of our flagship product, and every piece is sized for months of use. Families with several dogs often start them all on one bundle, then continue the pieces à la carte on their own schedule (with auto-ship if they want it). For a multi-dog house, a quick consult will help you size it right.
First, know that every Skin Rescue Bundle lasts multiple months; the six products run out on different schedules by design. You reorder just the piece that's low, never the whole bundle, and the included guide tells you what to reorder and when, so nothing lapses and nothing piles up. As the skin turns the corner, most families graduate to maintenance on just one or two products (usually the Granules and Bac-Pak), and those product pages offer auto-ship if you want it on the pieces your dog stays on.
It can, if everything that supported the rebuild stops at once. During the protocol itself, plan on all six products working together for as long as the clearing takes; some dogs turn the corner quickly, and some cases run up to twelve months. Depending on where they are in the protocol, some families simply repurchase the whole bundle; it's less to figure out. The two changes that matter most going forward: the food change is permanent (going back to the old bowl is how families end up starting over), and some foundational nutrition should continue after the yeast clears. The Sprouted Granules are live nutrition, giving your dog's body the tools to repair itself and hold its own ground. When your dog is through it, we'll walk you through what maintenance looks like.
The Skin Rescue Bundle is covered by our 120 Day Worry-Free Guarantee. Try it with your dog for four full months, the honest timeline for a rebuild like this. If you don't see a difference, return the unused portion for a full refund. No questions asked.
You don't need another round of treatment. You need a way out of the cycle.
The scratching has a root, and the root can be worked, starting this week, with a guide in your inbox and real people a phone call away. If you're not sure it's right for your dog, ask us first; the conversation is always free.
