Specially formulated dermatologic diet

 Several diets are available that contain high levels of fatty acids and other anti-inflammatory ingredients. These can help reduce the amount of medication required long-term and may help reduce the amount of omega fatty acids that need supplementing.

We recommend considering the omega-3 content of the patient’s food when recommending supplementation. This will help determine the total intake and ensure the animal receives an optimal amount for its specific condition.
