Dryness, flaking, itching, hot spots, and excessive shedding can point to skin issues like flea allergy dermatitis, food intolerances, environmental allergies, or a bacterial or fungal infection.
For pets with skin issues, their diet should support skin health and recovery. A healthy diet fortified with skin-building supplements like omega-3 fatty acids can improve symptoms like itching and dryness.
Topical treatments can provide immediate symptom relief. Medicated shampoo gently clears infections and allergens and soothes irritation. Additional treatment may be needed to keep symptoms from returning. For pruritus that persists, talk to your veterinarian.
Your pet's skin is their body's largest organ.

Treating skin and coat issues reduces itch, plus offers numerous health benefits including:
Unresolved health conditions can mean itch, dryness, and dullness that keeps coming back. By treating underlying issues and restoring the microbiome's balance, you can see long-term improvements in the health and appearance of your pet's skin and coat.
