Skin & Coat Health

Nutrition Connection

Healthy coats start from the stomach. Dull fur or excessive shedding often signals nutrient deficiency.

Essential Nutrients

• Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids: Promote shine and elasticity.
• Zinc: Prevents flaky skin and hair loss.
• Vitamin E: Moisturizes skin and reduces itchiness.
• Protein: Builds keratin for strong hair shafts.

Common Issues & Fixes

Condition	Likely Cause	Nutrition Fix
Dry, flaky skin	Low omega-3 intake	Add fish oil or salmon kibble
Excess shedding	Protein deficiency	Add chicken, eggs
Hot spots	Allergies(can get real bad if skin exposed to sun)	Try limited-ingredient diets
Dull coat	Lack of zinc/vitamin E	Use supplements or fortified food
