Frequently Asked Questions
The fastest way to stop occasional itching is to apply a topical barrier balm like Skin Soother® directly to the irritated area. This provides immediate comfort from minor hot spots and bug bites while helping to maintain skin health at the top layer. For long-term care for itchy skin caused by seasonal or environmental allergies, we recommend adding a Skin & Coat Supplement to their daily diet to support a healthy inflammation response.
No, you should not use human lotion on dogs. Their skin pH is different from humans, and many lotions contain ingredients that are toxic if licked. Instead, use non-toxic, vet-formulated products like Skin & Coat Oil and Skin Soother®, which are specifically designed to support healthy, comfortable skin in dogs.
Yes, both our Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil and Skin & Coat Oil may help to reduce excessive shedding by strengthening the hair follicles and soothing itchy skin. Our Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which help to moisturize the skin from within and minimize the dryness that leads to brittle fur and dry, flaky skin.
The primary difference is the delivery method and ingredient concentration. Skin & Coat Oil is a liquid fat source best for potent Omega delivery, and typically very easy to give to dogs of any age, size, and breed. Skin & Coat Supplements (chews) offer a broader range of nutrients, including Biotin, in a convenient soft & chewy format that picky dogs may prefer.
While our oils are formulated to complement our chews, balms, and grooming products within the same collection, we recommend choosing only one fish-based oil formula for your dog. Excessive fish oil consumption may lead to loose stools or digestive discomfort, and doubling up on fish oil doesn't add much benefit. We recommend Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil for dog owners looking for higher levels of Omega fatty acids for well-rounded skin & coat, immune, joint, and cardio support. Skin & Coat Oil is recommended for dog owners specifically looking for fish oil for itchy skin and dry coat.
