Best skin and coat treatments for dogs

You can see when you stroke your dog’s glossy coat and lustrous fur, that they are getting all the nutrition they need. But some dogs have a dull coat and are irritated by itchy, flaking skin. Often, the problem can be that they are not getting the right nutrients from their food. Low-fat diets, poor quality commercial dog food, and homemade diets that don’t have enough variety can be the cause. Or if they are being bathed too much. Dogs need essential fatty acids including Omega-3 and Omega-6, EPA and DHA which can help with skin disorders and make their coat glossy. Fish like salmon are good sources of these fatty acids which you can add to your dog’s food either as a liquid or in chewable capsule form. If you are worried about your dog’s skin or coat, you should consult your vet. Here are the skin and coat treatments for dogs we recommend.
