Food for Dogs with Sensitive Skin
Your dog’s skin provides its first defence against the outside world. But sensitive skin is very common in dogs and can be incredibly uncomfortable. To combat it, we carefully crafted a delicious recipe that promotes healthy skin and a shiny coat without further irritating conditions.
Our specially formulated food for dogs with sensitive skin contains hypoallergenic ingredients such as unique insect protein. Your furry friend can enjoy life without suffering from itchy skin, redness, or even hair loss.
Why is Itchy Skin Common?
Sensitive skin in dogs can be brought by multiple factors. Your pooch may suffer from flea bites, parasites, dry conditions or seasonal allergies. Dry skin is typical in the winter whereas reactions flare up increasingly in the hotter months.
Your dog may also have genetic conditions that result in sensitive skin. Allergies can be life-threatening, though dry or inflamed skin is the usual symptom. What’s more, your dog can develop intolerances to particular foods that manifest in itching and dry skin.
Key Symptoms of Sensitive Skin
Sensitive skin can be clearly visible, although our pooch’s long hair can conceal these signs. You should look out for the following symptoms.
- Scratching
- Rubbing against objects
- Obsessive licking
- Rashes
- Dry, flaky skin
- Bumps on skin
- Paw biting
When Should You Go to a Vet?
If you witness any of these symptoms affecting your dog far more than usual then you should take them to a vet for a professional examination. A change in behaviour can indicate a change in condition that may harm your dog further.
How Does Your Dog’s Diet Affect Their Skin?
Most dog food is made with beef, chicken, pork, dairy and grains. Unfortunately, these foods are among the most common allergens affecting our pooches as they have been diet staples for hundreds of years. Their immune and digestive systems have developed intolerances and allergies to them.
Switching to dog food that utilises novel ingredients like insect protein and includes potato or sweet potato over traditional grain carbohydrates, can prevent allergic reactions and alleviate their symptoms.
Benefits of Hypoallergenic Dog Food
Choosing a hypoallergenic food for dogs with sensitive skin helps relieve the pain and discomfort of dry, itchy skin. Here are some of the benefits:
Prevent Allergic Reactions
Offering foods with or with grains plus novel protein reduces the risk of allergic reactions by including ingredients that are unfamiliar to your dog’s immune and digestive system.
Healthier Skin
While addressing the causes of sensitive skin, our food also includes all the amino acids and nutrients required to maintain robust skin and a shiny, healthy coat.
Support Immune System
Using novel proteins and essential nutrients, hypoallergenic dog food can boost your pup’s immune system and protect them from future illnesses.
Vet Approved
With the help of canine nutritionists, we created a food that is approved by vets.
