There are many types of environmental irritants that surround us and our pets each and every day including fleas, pollen and the dust in our homes. For some dogs, these irritants can cause a skin condition that may lead to scratching, sometimes excessively. This is unpleasant for your dog, however, with most dogs these skin conditions can benefit simply from the right food.
Key Benefits:
- Helps strengthen the skin barrier
- Drives healthy skin from within
- Formulated to help soothe and nourish skin & coat
- Helps skin to recover naturally
- Holistic long-term solution supporting a healthy immune system

My cairn terrier x mini schnauzer loves these biscuits. I needed to find something to help her with her skin, coat and smell. She has now been on these a year and her coat and skin are in a much better condition. The big bag lasts a long time since she's only a small dog so works out to be quite reasonable.
Bottom Line
Yes, I'd recommend this product to a friend

My Border Collie gets red itchy feet in spring/summer. He has been to the vet everytime and had all sorts of medication. and diets. Last year we got told about this food and started him on it during summer, it did help to reduce his itching and we noticed his skin and coat looked GREAT! We have now started feeding it to him full time, so fingers crossed this year the food has created a strong skin barrier defensive so wont need any steroids or other medication!
Bottom Line
Yes, I'd recommend this product to a friend

BEST EVER product for my dog who suffered for almost 9 years with itchy skin and constant ear infections. Since using this, on the recommendation of the vet, for the last year he has had no ear infections and skin/coat is in top condition. While cost may appear expensive just 1.5 cups in morning is enough so an 11kg bag lasts 4 months approximately.
Bottom Line
Yes, I'd recommend this product to a friend
