Skin Problems in Pets - Spot the signs of common skin conditions in Pets

Skin problems are one of the most common reasons owners take their dog to the vet. Abnormalities such as excessive scratching, redness, inflammation, hair loss and lumps and bumps could be a sign of a wide range of dog skin conditions, from allergies, fleas and ticks to infections and mange.

The signs of skin conditions might be a bit less obvious when your dog is feeling well and lively, but are more apparent when they are lethargic or sleeping all the time. Skin conditions can also be seasonal, caused by allergies to certain types of grass or pollens, or external factors like fleas and ticks. However, if your pet is constantly scratching or you see any unusual lumps or bumps on them it could be time to take them in for a checkup.

Signs of pet skin conditions include:

  • frequent scratching,
  • biting at their skin and irritation such as redness,
  • hair loss,
  • flaky skin,
  • texture changes, scabs, lumps and an unusual or unpleasant smell

While some dogs are able to live with their skin conditions, many will find them uncomfortable and difficult to cope with. This can lead to behavioral problems such as excessive scratching, which owners often struggle to deal with. Hiring a groomer can be a good option if you just can’t manage or don’t have the time to care for your dog yourself, but if your dog is having consistent problems you should consider getting them treated by your vet instead.

Gomega Fish Oil Supplement for Dogs - 150ml

Gomega Fish Oil Supplement for Dogs - 150ml

Gomega Fish Oil Supplement – Omega-3 Support for Dogs

Gomega Fish Oil Supplement is a high-quality source of omega-3 fatty acids designed to support overall canine health. It contains essential fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which play a vital role in maintaining a healthy skin and coat, joint function, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. This supplement is particularly beneficial for dogs with inflammatory conditions, dry skin, or mobility issues.

What Are Omega-3 Fatty Acids?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that dogs must obtain through their diet. They are not produced naturally by the body, making dietary supplementation an important way to ensure adequate intake. The primary sources of omega-3s are marine-based oils, such as fish oil, which provide EPA and DHA. These fatty acids contribute to various physiological functions, including reducing inflammation, maintaining skin integrity, and supporting brain development.

Dogs that do not receive enough omega-3s may experience dry skin, excessive shedding, joint stiffness, and reduced cognitive function. Supplementing with a high-quality fish oil can help address these deficiencies and promote long-term health.

Zn7 Zinc Skin Soothing Gel - 60ml

Zn7 Zinc Skin Soothing Gel – Relief for Pets' Skin Irritations

Zn7 Zinc Skin Soothing Gel is a veterinary-formulated topical solution designed to alleviate various skin conditions in pets. This gel utilises neutralised zinc combined with amino acids to provide soothing relief from itching, dryness, and irritation. It is suitable for managing superficial wounds, hot spots, abrasions, and other dermatological issues in dogs, cats, and other animals.

How Does Zn7 Zinc Skin Soothing Gel Work?

Zn7 Gel contains neutralised zinc gluconate complexed with the amino acids L-lysine and taurine. This formulation enhances the bioavailability of zinc, allowing it to penetrate the skin effectively and exert its therapeutic effects.

  • Neutralised Zinc Gluconate: Zinc is known for its anti-pruritic (anti-itching) and healing properties. In the neutralised form, zinc gluconate is stabilised at a pH that matches the skin's natural environment, promoting better absorption and efficacy.

  • Amino Acids (L-lysine and Taurine): These amino acids aid in stabilising the zinc and facilitate its transport across cell membranes. This combination ensures that zinc reaches deeper skin layers, enhancing its soothing and healing actions.
