The #1 recommended Gold Standard Herbs formula for chronic itching, recurring ear infections, allergies, and leaky gut in dogs.
Cessorex is the flagship formula from Dr. Steve Marsden DVM — an organically grown, human-grade Chinese herbal blend designed to calm an overactive immune system, support the gut barrier, and restore healthy circulation to the skin. Many dogs experience dramatic improvement within weeks, often allowing them to wean off steroids, Apoquel, or Cytopoint under veterinary guidance.
Best for dogs with:
- Chronic or seasonal itching, hot spots, and skin flares
- Recurring ear infections (yeast or bacterial)
- Food and environmental allergies
- Yeasty paws, belly, or groin
- Autoimmune skin disease
- Suspected leaky gut
How to use:
Mix the recommended dose of powder directly into your dog's food once or twice daily. No capsules to hide, no flavoring needed — most dogs eat it without noticing.
To use, just fold the herbs into your pet's real food diet, mix them with a little butter, or shake them up with broth or water and pour them over top if using canned or kibble.
As a suggested starting dose, give twice daily as follows:
- Up to 15 pounds: 1/8 tsp
- 15 to 40 pounds: 1/4 tsp
- 40 to 70 pounds: 1/2 tsp
- 70 to 110 pounds: 3/4 tsp
- Over 110 pounds: 1 tsp
If benefits are not seen, the dose can be safely doubled.

What practitioners say:
Dr. Steve Marsden DVM formulated Cessorex based on decades of clinical practice using Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr. Judy Morgan DVM also stocks Cessorex as a key skin formula on her holistic veterinary website. Both recommend pairing Cessorex with a real food diet (raw, gently cooked, or refrigerated commercial) and a Lactobacillus or Bacteroides probiotic for best results.
Pairs well with:
-
ImmunoBalm — for severe or out-of-control itch
-
Halscion — for stubborn ear infections or eye inflammation
-
Galvanex — when the immune-deficient pattern is dominant
