A new science-based nutritional solution for dogs with environmental allergies.
Pollen, dust, dander, and other environmental allergens can trigger itchy skin in dogs, among other signs of discomfort. This common allergic skin condition, which affects an estimated 1 in 10 dogs, is known as canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) or atopy¹. It disrupts the skin’s natural protective barrier, leaving your dog vulnerable to secondary infections.
While there is no cure for atopy in dogs, there are a number of ways to manage the disease and improve your pet’s quality of life. Ask your veterinarian if a therapeutic diet is a good fit for your dog.
