Your dog’s skin and coat don’t just reflect how they’re groomed—they reflect what they’re fed. A shiny coat and healthy skin are results of nutrition, not just surface care.

This blog breaks down the science-backed nutrients that support skin regeneration, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce excessive shedding or irritation.

1. Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA & DHA)

• What They Do : Reduce inflammation, improve skin hydration, and support natural oil production.

• Best Sources : Fish oil, flaxseed oil, salmon.

• Visible Impact: Shinier coat, less itching, fewer hot spots.

2. Biotin (Vitamin B7)

• What It Does : Improves keratin structure and strengthens fur at the root.

• Best Sources : Egg yolk, sweet potato, fortified supplements.

• Visible Impact : Fuller coat, reduced fur breakage.

3. Vitamin E

• What It Does : Acts as a natural antioxidant to support skin repair.

• Best Sources : Sunflower oil, leafy greens, supplements.

• Visible Impact : Faster healing of rashes or dry patches.

4. Zinc

• What It Does : Supports skin barrier function and reduces flakiness.

• Best Sources : Pumpkin seeds, red meat, formulated supplements.

• Visible Impact : Fewer dandruff flakes, healthier paw pads and nose.

Look for supplements with the ideal balance of Omega-3s, Biotin, Vitamin E, and Zinc . Combination supplements tend to be more effective when tailored to your dog’s breed, age, and lifestyle.
