Product & how it works
What exactly is a postbiotic and how is it different from a probiotic?
Probiotics are live bacteria that need to survive, travel through the gut, and colonise to have any effect. Postbiotics are the bioactive compounds that beneficial bacteria produce β€” essentially the finished product, without needing the live bacteria to be present. Delivered topically, postbiotics act immediately on the skin surface where the problem lives, without any gut transit or dilution.
How quickly will I see results?
Most dogs show reduced scratching within 48 hours of the first application. The yeasty smell typically fades within the first week. Full skin restoration β€” hair regrowth, barrier repair β€” takes 3–4 weeks. Dogs with long-standing or severe infections may need up to 6 weeks. That's why we offer a 60-day guarantee β€” enough time to see the complete transformation.
Do I need to shave or trim the fur before applying?
No. Nuvon is formulated to penetrate directly through the fur coat to reach the skin surface. Simply spray on the affected area and let it dry naturally β€” about 30 seconds. No shaving, no clipping, no prep. It works equally well on thick-coated and short-haired breeds.
My dog will lick it off immediately. Will it still work?
Nuvon absorbs within approximately 30 seconds and continues working beneath the skin surface. Even if your dog licks the area immediately after application, the postbiotics have already begun their work. The formula is 100% safe if ingested β€” no cone needed.
Will the problem come back when I stop using Nuvon?
Unlike medications that suppress symptoms and require continuous use, Nuvon restores the conditions that prevent yeast from taking hold. Once the barrier is repaired and the microbiome rebalanced, most dogs maintain healthy skin without daily treatment. Some owners apply once or twice a week during allergy season as a preventative measure.
Is it safe for senior dogs?
Yes. Nuvon contains no steroids, antibiotics, or immune suppressants. It is particularly well-suited to senior dogs whose owners are concerned about the long-term risks of pharmaceutical options like Apoquel. The formula is gentle enough for daily use on sensitive or ageing skin.
Can I use Nuvon alongside Apoquel or other medications?
Yes. Nuvon works on the skin surface and does not interact with oral medications. Most customers find they need Apoquel less over time as the skin heals and the microbiome rebalances. We always recommend speaking with your vet before changing any medication routine.
How is this different from the probiotic chews I've already tried?
Probiotic chews target the gut microbiome. Your dog's skin infection is on the outside β€” on the surface, between the toes, in the folds. Oral probiotics never reach the skin in meaningful concentrations. Nuvon delivers postbiotics directly to the affected skin surface, where the problem actually lives.
