PHOTOTHERAPY PATCH GUIDE
Unlike homeopathic remedies, phototherapy patches are incredibly forgiving. You can’t overdose. You can combine them freely. There’s no “wrong” way to use them – just better and best placements.
ㅤ
This guide covers the 5 core patches in your kit: Aeon, IceWave, Carnosine, Glutathione, and X39. We’ll be adding more patches to this reference library over time as your toolkit grows.
ㅤ
Each patch below includes what it does, when to use it, and what it pairs well with.
ㅤ
Need placement and protocols? Scroll to the bottom for dropdown guides organized by condition (trauma, post-surgery, anxiety, etc.).

Bookmark this page. Tattoo them on your arm if you have to (kidding, but also not judging).
ㅤ
The goal isn't to memorize all of this. The goal is to know where to find it when you need it.
ㅤ
Now go forth and be prepared. Your dog is counting on you to stay calm the next time they eat something questionable.

Want to take it up a notch? These patches work wonders for deep sleep and nighttime restoration:
ㅤ
🌙 Alavida – Forehead placement (if your dog tolerates it)Supports the pineal gland and boosts telomerase production. Translation: deeper sleep and serious anti-aging benefits.
ㅤ
🌙 Silent Nights –Triggers melatonin production for the kind of sleep that actually restores.
ㅤ
Use these solo or stack them with Aeon, depending on what your dog needs.
Aeon = anti-inflammatory, decrease cortisol response
Carnosine = wound healing
Glutathione = collagen scaffolding
IceWave = pain
Aeon = anti-inflammatory, redces cortisol
Carnosine = wound healing
Glutathione = collagen scaffolding
± Alavida patch if available

PHOTOTHERAPY PROTOCOLS
In most cases, phototherapy patches are applied to a collar or headband around the neck (on the inside, facing the dog). However, if treating something on the body, you can use a Medical Pet Shirt or Lick Sleeve to place patches locally around the area being treated.
ㅤ
Wear Time & Replacement:
Each patch is worn for 12 hours on, 12 hours off. The 12-hour break prevents the body from habituating to the patch, which keeps them working effectively.
(trauma, injury, sudden issues)
Use 1 patch for 1 treatment (12 hours), then replace with a fresh patch for the next 12-hour cycle.
Use 1 patch for 2 treatments – 12 hours on, 12 hours off, then repeat for one more 12-hour cycle before replacing with a fresh patch.
