What is in K9 KlearUp™?
K9 KlearUp™ uses only six natural ingredients: Shea butter (the moisturizing, rejuvenating base), Tepezcohuite (which works with your dog's body to help build new skin and a healthy coat after injury), a vegetable emulsifier, Aloe Vera, Caprylyl Glycol (a coconut-derived moisturizer), and Sorbic Acid (a natural preservative from the Mountain Ash tree).
How quickly does K9 KlearUp™ work, and is it easy to apply?
Most customers report their dog's skin is normal again within two to three days, sometimes even within 24 hours. Application is simple — just rub a little cream on the problem area a few times a day — and because the vegetable emulsifier helps it absorb within about 10 seconds, it's great for lickers and doesn't run, meaning less cleanup for you.
Does K9 KlearUp™ avoid the harsh chemicals in other pet products?
Yes. Many pet care products contain artificial preservatives — including parabens, which have been linked to cancer — plus artificial coloring and odor chemicals, and some companies use substandard base ingredients banned in human products. K9 KlearUp™ keeps its ingredient list simple and natural with just six ingredients.
What is K9 KlearUp™'s success rate, and is it guaranteed?
For environmentally caused (food, water, air) or externally caused (cuts, scratches, burns) skin and coat issues, K9 KlearUp™ has a 95%+ success rate. The company unconditionally guarantees the product will work for your pet — if your dog is in the 5% that doesn't benefit, you can email them even after using the whole jar for a full refund of the purchase price plus the original shipping and handling.
What do veterinarians and owners say about K9 KlearUp™?
Dr. Andrew Jones, DVM of Nelson Animal Hospital reported clearing a dog's mild hot spot in a few applications over three days after a conventional steroid failed, and also clearing a cat's acne in about four days. Owner Sheri Tyler of Binghamton, New York described a good-sized spot on her dog Sasha clearing up within one week, with the gnawing stopping.
What is K9 KlearUp™?
K9 KlearUp™ is an all-natural topical dog balm designed to help clear up the 17 most common canine skin and coat problems. It is described as a natural antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiseptic balm that works with a dog's own immune system to help the body heal itself. It is recommended by veterinarians, groomers, breeders, and dog trainers across North America.
What are the ingredients in K9 KlearUp™?
K9 KlearUp™ uses only six natural ingredients: Shea butter, Tepezcohuite, a vegetable emulsifier, Aloe Vera, Caprylyl Glycol, and Sorbic Acid. Shea butter forms the moisturizing base, Tepezcohuite is the active healing ingredient, the vegetable emulsifier helps it absorb in about 10 seconds, Caprylyl Glycol is a coconut-derived moisturizer, and Sorbic Acid is a natural preservative from the Mountain Ash tree. It contains no parabens, artificial preservatives, artificial colors, or artificial fragrances.
What is Tepezcohuite and why does it matter?
Tepezcohuite (pronounced 'Tep-Ez-Co-Heety') is the active ingredient in K9 KlearUp™. It is a tree from the former Mayan empire in present-day Central America, where it was used for over 1,000 years to treat skin lesions of every kind. It gained modern attention on November 19, 1984, when the Mexican Red Cross used it to treat thousands of burn victims after the Mexico City gas explosions. K9 KlearUp™ is presented as the first product to bring this compound specifically to dogs.
What skin and coat problems does K9 KlearUp™ help with?
K9 KlearUp™ targets 17 common conditions: hot spots and chronic skin rashes, skin allergies like eczema, ear and wound infections, cuts and scratches, burns, dry/itchy/flaky skin, general itching and scratching, minor bleeding, split pads, post-surgery healing, bug bites, general pad wear and tear, dull coat, coat regrowth after injury, joint swelling, acne, and fungi. The maker reports a 95%+ success rate on environmentally or externally caused skin and coat issues.
How do I apply K9 KlearUp™?
Application is simple: rub a little of the cream onto the problem area a few times a day. For hot spots and rashes, the company suggests a 3-times-daily treatment for up to 7 days. The balm absorbs in about 10 seconds, which is helpful for dogs that lick, and because it doesn't run there is less cleanup than with messy lotions.
How fast does K9 KlearUp™ work?
According to the company, most customers report that their dog's skin returns to normal within two to three days, and sometimes within 24 hours. For hot spots and persistent rashes, the suggested protocol is a 3-times-daily application for up to 7 days to reduce visible inflammation and pain. Results vary by dog and condition.
How much does K9 KlearUp™ cost?
A jar of K9 KlearUp™ costs $37.95 for a full 3.3oz (100ml) container. For most owners that lasts about a year, which works out to roughly 10.9¢ a day. The product itself is good for about 18 months before it expires.
Who makes K9 KlearUp™?
K9 KlearUp™ is produced by Mayan Pet Products Inc., and payments are processed and appear on receipts under that company name. The product is offered by Michael Gore, who signs as 'Fellow Dog Enthusiast and Director, K9 KlearUp™.' He notes that he is not a veterinarian and cannot diagnose conditions.
Is K9 KlearUp™ safe if my dog licks it?
Yes — the formula is built around natural ingredients and absorbs within about 10 seconds of application, which the company highlights as being especially good for dogs that lick. It avoids chemicals, artificial preservatives, parabens, and other potentially harmful compounds found in many pet products. As with any product, owners with concerns about a specific health condition should consult their veterinarian.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. K9 KlearUp™ comes with an unconditional money-back guarantee. If it doesn't work for your dog, you can pack up whatever you have left — even an empty jar — and mail it back for a full refund of the purchase price PLUS the original shipping and handling you paid to receive it. The maker positions this as a guarantee no other pet product company dares to match.
How does K9 KlearUp™ actually work?
The company explains that K9 KlearUp™ works with your pet's immune system by giving the body the nutrition it needs to heal itself, the same way a paper cut heals on its own. The active Tepezcohuite helps the body build new skin and a healthy coat after injury, while the supporting ingredients moisturize and protect. It supplies micronutrients including zinc, copper, manganese, iron, and magnesium that aid cellular regeneration.
Can K9 KlearUp™ help with bug bites and bleeding from clipped nails?
Yes. The company says K9 KlearUp™ soothes the skin and reduces itchiness from ant, spider, flea, or mosquito bites. It also notes that the balm's high tannin content helps stop minor bleeding quickly, which is useful when a dog's nail has been cut a little too short. The same tannins help close minor wounds on split pads.
Does K9 KlearUp™ help with dull coats and coat regrowth?
Yes. K9 KlearUp™ is described as rich in fur-friendly nutrients that give a dog's body what it needs to grow a beautiful, lustrous coat, and it is said to create the conditions for a rich, thick coat to grow back quickly after injury. The company even notes that some people rub the compound into their own hair for a natural, healthy shine.
Is Tepezcohuite backed by any research?
The company cites published scientific literature on Tepezcohuite. It references Rivera-Arce, E. et al., Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 109: 523-528 (2007), which reported therapeutic effectiveness with no observed side effects and prevention of scarring, and Anton, R. et al., Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 38: 153-157 (1993), which described complete reconstitution of the epidermis within a few weeks. Studies have been associated with institutions including the Cruz Azul Hospital in Oaxaca, Mexico and the Biogir Lab in Paris, France.
Will K9 KlearUp™ work for every dog?
The company is candid that it will not work for every dog in every situation. It claims a 95%+ success rate on environmentally caused (food, water, air factors) or externally caused (cuts, scratches, burns) skin and coat issues, while acknowledging that roughly 5% of dogs may not benefit. For that 5%, the unconditional refund guarantee applies, including return of an empty jar.
