What can microbubbles do for my dog?
The bubbles can remove trapped dirt, bacteria, and yeast. Oily secretion, referred to as sebum, is released reducing odors. As the bubbles burst, they help to clean and hydrate your dog’s skin creating a silky-smooth coat that is healthier than ever. Micro bubbles penetrate deep into the skin relieving rashes or sensitive areas causing irritation using nothing but water.
Which dogs are ideal for microbubble therapy?
The short answer is that any dog can benefit from microbubble therapy, however, dogs who suffer from hot spots, itchy skin, dandruff, inflammation, skin infections, allergies, and excessive shedding or hair loss can benefit the most. Microbubble therapy can also help relieve stress and anxiety.
