Virbac DOG DERMATOLOGY SUPPORT (D1) Dry Food 12 kg: Scientific Support for Sensitive Skin and Coat Health

Dermatological issues in dogs, such as itching, hair loss, redness, and skin irritation, are quite common and can significantly affect your dog's quality of life. These problems can often stem from underlying causes like food allergies, environmental allergies (atopic dermatitis), or general skin barrier dysfunction. Virbac DOG DERMATOLOGY SUPPORT (D1) Dry Food 12 kg is a complete and balanced veterinary diet scientifically formulated by veterinarians to meet the specific nutritional needs of dogs with dermatological sensitivities or suffering from skin and coat issues.

Key Features & Benefits

• Skin Barrier Support: Enriched with nutrients essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier (zinc, biotin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and linoleic acid). A strong skin barrier acts as the first line of defense against allergens and irritants.
• Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acid Support: Contains high levels of Omega-3s (especially EPA and DHA) and optimally balanced Omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids help reduce skin inflammation, alleviate itching, and improve coat quality, leading to healthier skin and a shinier coat for your dog.
• Hydrolyzed Protein Source (For Sensitive Dogs): May include specially hydrolyzed protein sources for dogs with sensitivities to potential food allergens (refer to product label for specific details). Hydrolyzed proteins are broken down into small fragments to reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
• High Digestibility: Formulated with carefully selected, highly digestible ingredients to optimize nutrient absorption and minimize digestive discomfort.
• Antioxidant Complex: Contains powerful antioxidants (Vitamin E, C) to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and support the overall immune system.
• High Palatability and Acceptability: Designed to be highly palatable, considering that dogs with dermatological issues might experience food aversion. This enhances dietary compliance.
• Complete and Balanced Nutrition: Despite being a specialized diet, it's complete and balanced to meet all your dog's essential nutritional needs, so additional supplements aren't typically required.
