30 Years of Veterinary Experience Inside every chew

30 Years of Veterinary Experience Inside every chew

Who is Doc Itchy?

Who is Doc Itchy?

Doc Itchy got his name while teaching at the College of Veterinary Medicine decades ago. Doc Itchy has spent over 30 years researching and learning the best treatments for allergy and dermatology. He has traveled the world sharing and teaching what he learned.

Seeing a Problem

Seeing a Problem

There is a lack of clear, accurate medical information and treatments available to pet owners. Most of the information available online about pet products suggest the wrong ingredients at the wrong doses, which completely fails to treat and prevent your pet's disease or symptoms. 

Starting Local

Starting Local

Doc Itchy became frustrated with his pet’s parents wasting time and money on ineffective products and misleading advertising. He searched for and tested almost all available over-the-counter products, but could not find any clinically-effective products based on the proven medical research.


Doc Itchy decided to step-in by making his own home-grown in-house treatment formulas using the highest quality proven ingredients while making sure his patients loved the flavor too.

A Magic Success

In 2021, Doc Itchy had another idea. He enlisted the help of his now accomplished adult children to help bring Doc Itchy's treatment formulas to more than just his local patients, but also to you and your pets at home.


Every Doc Itchy treatment is based on current medical research published in peer-reviewed veterinary medical journals.

Every treatment formula has medical science data and is clinically proven on 100s of DocItchy's clinical patients. However, not a single formula is recommended for your pet until it receives Henry's paw-print of approval.

Why this matters?

Why this matters?

Unlike many pet supplements that are formulated around ingredient trends, every Doc Itchy formula begins with published veterinary research, real clinical experience, and ingredient doses used in veterinary medicine.

That’s why our formulas aren’t designed around marketing—they’re designed around what has actually helped thousands of dogs in practice.
