Skin & Coat Health

A shiny coat and itch-free skin start from the inside out. Nutrition is the single biggest lever — and the right food can transform your pet's coat in weeks.

Know the signs

Is your pet's skin or coat struggling?

Common signs

  • – Itching, scratching or constant licking
  • – Redness or inflammation on skin
  • – Dandruff or dry, flaky skin
  • – Dull, brittle or thinning coat
  • – Excessive shedding
  • – Hotspots or recurring skin infections

Common causes

  • – Diet low in essential fatty acids
  • – Environmental allergies (pollen, dust, mould)
  • – Food intolerance or sensitivity
  • – Flea allergy dermatitis
  • – Fungal infection (ringworm)
  • – Nutrient deficiencies (biotin, zinc, protein)

The nutrients that matter

What your pet's skin actually needs

Omega-3 & Omega-6

Essential fatty acids are the backbone of a healthy skin barrier. Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) reduces inflammation and supports coat shine. Omega-6 maintains the protective lipid layer that keeps skin moisturised and resilient.

Biotin & Zinc

Biotin (vitamin B7) is essential for keratin production — the protein that makes up fur and skin. Zinc supports skin cell regeneration and immune function. Both are commonly deficient in lower-quality diets.

High-Quality Protein

Skin and coat are almost entirely protein. Pets fed highly digestible, named protein sources (like real chicken or fish) have better coat density and skin integrity than those on plant-heavy diets.
