You can buy hypoallergenic dog food to eliminate common allergens like wheat, soy or beef. These are good options assuming they have the other nutrients your dog needs. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids can also help, you can buy fortified dog food that has omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids added to them. Look for things like added fish oil, flaxseed and omega-rich ingredients to promote coat and skin health. The gut directly influences skin health, so food with added probiotics, like plain yoghurt, or added prebiotics can help. Sometimes, owners and dogs fare better with a ‘limited-ingredient diet' (LID), this is where you limit your dog's diet to one protein and a carbohydrate source.

Wild-Caught Fish Salmon, trout, and other oily, wild-caught fish contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. A healthy balance of these essential fats reduce inflammation and support skin and coats in dogs. Lean animal proteins like chicken are essential for your dog’s skin and coat. Beef and beef liver contain nutrients like Vitamin A, B, and E, all of which promote healthy skin and fur. Eggs are full of biotin, protein, and healthy fats. Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oatmeal provide sustained energy and essential B vitamins, promoting smooth skin and fur growth. Sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, pumpkin, and spinach are superstars for your dog’s skin and coat. Coconut oil, flaxseed oil, and even peanut butter are excellent sources of healthy fats. Plain yogurt with its live cultures and probiotics, can be a great addition for dogs with sensitive skin or digestive issues.
