Eukanuba Dermatosis - A tested winner for itchy skins

For dogs with food allergies and other inflammatory skin conditions

Skin problems can have several causes and allergies are among the common ones.  If a dog develops an allergy, this usually leads to itching and scratching and dietary control is a crucial part of a multifaceted approach to help improve the clinical signs.  
Frequent symptoms include –

• Reddened flaky itchy skin
• Overall poor coat quality
• Smelly coat
• Gnawing, scratching and biting of the skin
• Possibly diarrhoea (in certain cases)

Substances causing allergies can be found everywhere.  Some pets are allergic to fleas while other allergens are environmental for example pollen, dust or grass, this is known as an atopy, while other pets may have food allergies.  Food allergies are usually caused by a protein in the diet.  It is highly recommended that you see your vet for a thorough clinical work up to determine the cause for your pet’s skin irritation.

Eukanuba Dermatosis Formula is designed to help reduce the itch scratch cycle caused by many types of allergic skin disease and, in case of food allergy when fed exclusively can help eliminate the allergic response in 8 weeks. A clinical study, lead by the University of Munich/Germany has shown that feeding Dermatosis FP to dogs with atopy (pollen allergy) resulted in a significant improvement in skin lesions and itchiness. Based on this result it was recommended that in addition to the conventional therapies, changing the diet of a dog with atopy may be a useful adjunctive therapeutic measure1.
