Can support skin and coat health
When dog food packaging says that a certain ingredient can "support skin and coat health", it means that this ingredient contains nutrients that can specifically help keep your dog's skin healthy and their coat shiny and strong.
Some key nutrients that are important for skin and coat health include:
- Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids: These unsaturated fatty acids help keep the skin supple and can reduce inflammation. They also ensure a shiny coat.
- Vitamins: Vitamin A, vitamin E and certain B vitamins in particular are important for skin health. They contribute to the regeneration of skin cells and protect against oxidative stress.
- Minerals: Zinc, selenium and copper are examples of minerals that play a role in maintaining healthy skin and a strong coat.
- Proteins: High-quality proteins are important for skin regeneration and coat growth, as skin and hair are largely made up of proteins.
So if a dog food contains these nutrients in good quality and in sufficient quantities, it can help maintain and improve the condition of your dog's skin and coat. However, it is important to note that a healthy coat and skin also depend on many other factors, such as general health, genetics and the care you give your dog.
