Skin & Coat Care
Moomalu Skin & Coat Care Dog Food. A dog’s skin and coat can be perceived as an immediate indicator of their health and wellbeing. A healthy coat is described as soft and shiny, while healthy skin should be smooth, with no breaks in the surface. Canine dermatological disorders have been recognised by veterinary surgeons to be a major issue
in small animal practice, with an estimated 15-30% of the dog population worldwide affected by skin conditions (Scott et al., 2001).
The maintenance of a healthy skin and coat is vital to the maintenance of a healthy body. Skin and coat conditions can be complex and can occur due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, stress or illness, hormone imbalances, metabolic problems, parasites (both internal and external) and allergies.
Signs of these issues can include red, itchy patches of skin, excessive licking, biting and scratching and in some cases, hair loss, which may cause further irritability and lead to
stress for both the pet and its owner.
