Omega 3 fatty acids are widely known to enhance skin and coat health in dogs by reducing inflammation. If your dog exhibits allergy symptoms such as atopic dermatitis, characterised by itching, scratching, hair loss, and chewing, including omega-3 supplements in their diet may be beneficial. EXTRACTS “…a placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study indicated potential benefits of high dose (n-3) fatty acids in the management of pruritic skin conditions.”  A 1995 survey of veterinary dermatology specialists indicated that: ” over 90% of responding veterinary specialists viewed dietary fatty acid supplements as potentially useful.” [2] “A comparative study observed that, over time, dogs receiving marine oil supplementation showed notable improvements in conditions like pruritus, alopecia, and coat quality, compared to those given corn oil. These findings point towards the potential of high-dose marine oil as an alternative approach in managing canine pruritic skin disease.” [3] REFERENCES 1. Tim D. G.
