No one wants to be uncomfortable in their own skin. However, dry skin causes itchiness, flaking, and genuine irritation ─ both in humans and dogs.

Dogs scratch for a number of reasons, so it’s important to make sure dry skin is to blame before rushing him to the vet or purchasing speciality dog food for dry skin. A little scratching is nothing to worry about, but when it turns into incessant licking, biting, and chewing, then it’s time to become concerned. If your dog is causing harm to himself with chronic itching, he needs your help.

Excessive itching is the second most common reason people take their dogs to the vet. The main issues that cause this problem are an issue with the skin itself or allergies.

Identifying Dry Skin

Determining if your pooch needs dog food for dry skin is relatively simple. If you notice dandruff flakes and cracked, tough skin, dryness is likely to blame. Similarly to humans, dry skin can be caused by environment, but diet can also be to blame. Many pet food companies remove the good oils from their food that help dogs maintain healthy skin and a shiny coat. While most dogs eat dry food, many brands commonly assist in dehydrating their skin and hair.

It’s important to choose specific dry dog foods that contain digestive enzymes to assist in the release of nutrients and helpful probiotic bacteria and aid in digestion. When your dog has a healthy digestive system, fluids are more easily absorbed into the body, which improve hydration and increase the moisture of the skin and fur.
