Shishamo (Freeze-Dried Capelin)

The 100% edible and digestible capelin treats promote healthy skin and coat with Omega-3 fatty acids. They also reduce plaque and tartar build-up, making them good for your dog's teeth. Plus, since these treats feature a single protein source, they're a good choice for dogs with food sensitivities.

Natural foods that can help with dry itchy skin include those that contain amino acids such as omega-3 and methionine, essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid, vitamin A, vitamin B and trace minerals such as zinc.

As your pets dry itchy skin can also be caused by an allergic reaction to protein, you can give it a novel protein diet such as crocodile meat, kangaroo meat, fish and venison, or limited ingredient diet to help manage the allergy. For example, if your cat has a chicken allergy, you should opt for chicken free dog food.
