Canine Acral Lick Dermatitis (Acral Lick Granuloma, ACL) Support

Acral lick dermatitis, also known as acral lick granuloma (ACL), is a condition in which dogs repeatedly lick a focused area of skin, often on the legs or paws.

Over time, this persistent licking can cause raised, thickened sores that may become chronic and uncomfortable.

As a result, some secondary infections may occur. These include ruptured hair follicles, ruptured apocrine glands, and bacterial infections. These make the itch more severe and also perpetuate the lick cycle.

Allergies are the main cause for excessive licking, especially around toes and feet.

If you have not changed diets to a home prepared diet, you will be able to be given guidance to what may cause allergy reactions with our diet sheet and information that is also supplied with all orders.

If licking our injuries, there may be an underlying infection, if this is the case, also use the "Drawing Out 16 formula 

If the licking is around a joint area and the dog is a little lame or has arthritis, then there may be a nerve sciatica pain.  

Often a dog with chew at, licking is a way of trying to relieve the discomfort.  

If you feel this is the case also try the Neuro Ease 158 formula and  Mobility 89 formula to see if this is also wanting the needed.

Contributing factors may include:

boredom, stress or anxiety, allergies, joint discomfort, or skin irritation.
Once the licking habit begins, it can be difficult to break without supporting both the skin and the underlying cause.

This natural support blend is traditionally associated with:

• Encouraging comfort and balance in irritated skin

• Supporting the body’s natural healing and recovery processes

• Helping calm the nervous system to reduce repetitive licking behaviors

• Promoting resilience in skin tissues and overall wellbeing
  
  

Holistic support may also include:

• Providing enrichment, play, and regular exercise to reduce boredom or anxiety

• Supporting skin and coat health with omega fatty acids, minerals, and balanced nutrition

• Considering protective wraps or soft cones short-term while natural remedies take effect

• Using natural topical balms or sprays for direct soothing support
  
  

This gentle, whole-body approach is designed to help dogs find relief, restore comfort, and reduce the cycle of licking that drives ACL conditions.
