How to Use Doderm – Application Tips for Healthy Horse SkinUpdated 19 days ago

Because great care starts with small routines. 💚

Horse skin is strong – but easily irritated by heat, sweat, insects or equipment. Doderm supports natural healing and helps maintain a balanced, healthy skin barrier – without cortisone or antibiotics.

🧴 When to use Doderm

Ideal for:

  • Sweet itch & summer itching

  • Mud fever & pastern irritation

  • Small wounds or rubs from tack

  • Dry or flaky skin

  • Post-clipping or cleansing care

Doderm soothes, protects and promotes natural regeneration – for every horse, every day.

💚 How to use Doderm correctly

1️⃣ Prepare the skinClean affected areas with lukewarm water or a mild horse shampoo (e.g. Doderm Shampoo Bar Horse). ➡️ Important: Always dry thoroughly before applying the gel.

2️⃣ Choose the right product

  • Skin RepairGel Horse – for daily care & regeneration
  • Skin RepairGel Mini – for acute, irritated or weeping patches

Both gels can be combined: Mini for initial treatment, Skin RepairGel Horse for long-term care.

3️⃣ Apply gentlyA thin layer is enough — Doderm works in a concentrated way. Absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or sticky.

4️⃣ Apply regularly1–2× daily until the skin has visibly calmed. For chronically sensitive skin, Doderm can also be used preventively — especially during midge or rainy seasons.
