Quick answer
Choose ExmaRid Dry Skin Formula for daily nutritional support to tackle dry, itchy skin from the inside out. Choose ExmaRid Ointment for targeted, non-greasy relief on sore or flaky patches.
Understanding the difference: internal vs external care
Both ExmaRid products target the same problem — dry, irritated canine skin — but they work in completely different ways. The Dry Skin Formula is a dietary supplement rich in starflower oil, designed to nourish skin from within over time. The Ointment is a topical protectant that soothes and shields specific areas immediately. Your choice depends on whether your dog needs ongoing maintenance or spot treatment.
Trade-offs at a glance
- ExmaRid Dry Skin Formula: A daily supplement that works from the inside out. Rich in starflower oil, it nourishes and moisturises dry, itchy skin over the long term. Best for dogs with generalised dryness or dull coat.
- ExmaRid Ointment: A topical ointment that soothes and protects specific areas on contact. Its non-greasy formula promotes supple skin without staining furniture. Ideal for localised irritation or as a barrier against further chafing.
- The trade-off: The Dry Skin Formula requires consistent daily feeding to see results, while the Ointment offers immediate but local relief. You may need both if your dog has widespread dryness with a few stubborn patches. If you only want one product, decide whether your priority is overall skin health or targeted spot treatment.
