Skin & Coat Nutrition

Itching, flaking, dull coat, and recurring hot spots are often signs that your dog’s diet isn’t supporting their skin health. The right nutrition can make a visible difference — from the inside out.

Key nutrients for skin and coat

  • Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids — reduce inflammation, support skin barrier
  • Zinc and biotin — essential for coat quality and skin integrity
  • Limited ingredients — fewer potential allergens mean fewer reactions
  • High-quality protein — provides the amino acids needed for skin cell renewal

Common conditions we help with

  • Atopic dermatitis
  • Dry, flaky skin
  • Dull or brittle coat
  • Environmental and seasonal allergies with skin symptoms
  • Hot spots and recurring skin infections
