Does your dog have extremely sensitive skin?
Dr John discusses his most valuable pieces of advise to owners on managing and dealing with skin issues šā¤ļø
1. Food šš½ - Food allergies are an extremely common thing for our pets - We have seen amazing results with trialling "Prime 100 Crocodile and Tapioca" dog food. This is an Advanced Novel Protein that can assist dogs with allergies to certain foods! Omega 3ās and 6ās are also supplemented in premium pet foods formulations, these can also provide the skin with an extra barrier protection to allergens!
2. Environment š- Check your garden for plants that cause allergic skin disease in pets!
3. Flea Prevention š¦ - Even one flea on your pet can drive them absolutely mad and will have them itching and scratching continuously! Keep up to date with your pets flea prevention treatment.
4. Allergy šš¼ - Dogs can be exposed to environmental allergens either by direct contact or by inhalation. This can be relieved with certain shampoos and barrier conditioners, but often prescription medication may be required to provide the relief your pet needs.
5. Hygiene šš½ - Regular grooming, bathing, cleaning your pets ears and daily checks for any arising irritations or rashes!
