- No need to rinse — it absorbs naturally

- Use 1-2x a week or as needed during shedding, winter, or dry skin flare-ups
💡 Tip: Applying after a bath or before brushing helps distribute the oil.
🐾 Why Coat Oil Helps
Ferrets are self-grooming champs — but during shedding or dry seasons, their skin can struggle. Insulinoma can also lead to extra itchy skin.
Our coat oil:
- Soothes itchy or flaky skin
- Softens wiry or coarse coats
- Supports recovery after bathing or stress
- Helps with winter dryness or shedding irritation
And since ferrets lick everything, we made sure our formula is safe if ingested — no worry if they clean themselves right after use.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I put this on my ferret's face or tail?
Yes — just avoid eyes and use a smaller amount. Great for dry tails or flaky ears.
Q: My ferret licks the oil off — is that okay?
Totally fine! Our formula was designed to be 100% safe if licked during grooming.
Q: When should I use this — after a bath?
Yes! That’s actually the perfect time. It helps restore natural oils and prevents post-bath dryness.
Q: Will this fix hair loss or adrenal disease?
While it supports coat health, it's not a cure for medical conditions. Always check with your exotic vet for sudden bald spots or adrenal signs.
Q: How often should I apply it?
Start with once or twice a week during shedding or dry months. You can use more often as needed.
