Dog has dry skin - can you suggest a diet please?

(02 Sep 2009)

Question

My dog's skin is very dry, he is well kept and groomed often. I'm wondering if his diet is lacking, can you suggest one that would suit him please?

Response

Look at the food you have your dog on. Make sure it is a good quality dog food. We would recommend Hill’s Mature Adult food as your dog is over 7 years. They use human grade chicken for their foods and provide a balanced diet, with all the nutrients your dog requires.

To help his skin until the food begins to work, we use a supplement called Omega-Aid.
