    Rashes and itchy skin more common

    "The prevalence of canine atopic dermatitis in developed countries has been growing constantly over the last few decades. Genetic predisposition represents only part of the problem, and environmental factors are believed to be an important boost to the rapid rise in atopic dogs.

    Although a complete understanding of the gut–skin axis has not yet been achieved, a growing number of studies demonstrate a close relationship between gastrointestinal imbalance and skin diseases."

    What do we see? Commonly, rashes and itchy skin.

    Not only that, while it often starts seasonally, as time progresses, it becomes year-round, and more severe. Secondary infections, both bacterial and yeast, frequently develop as self-trauma and inflammation makes the skin more vulnerable.

    What was the reason you switched to bestie...was there something going on health-wise?:: Skin and dietary allergies
    More energy on hypo-allergenic

    I have a dog with environmental and dietary allergies and is on a limited kangaroo and veg diet. It's only been a month since I started adding the hypo-allergenic balancer to my dogs food but he seems alot more spritely and energetic since starting it. It's really nice having a product that balances a strict protein diet. I was worried that he was missing out on essential minerals and vitamins but now I feel more confident I am meeting his nutritional requirements. Will absolutely buy again.

    Great to hear this is making a difference and gives you some peace of mind...thanks for letting us know.

    Can’t rate yet

    I tried few things in the same time,including the balancer,and she is still scratching,but the skin looks a bit better.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your persistence...itchy skin is often a 'multi-factorial' problem...and may take a little time and multiple approaches.
