FAQs

What kind of dogs is this food suitable for?

This food is specifically formulated for medium breed adult dogs who have sensitive skin. It is not intended for puppies, senior dogs, or small/large breed adults unless advised by a veterinarian.

How does this food help my dog's sensitive skin?

It contains `OPTIDERMA®`, a combination of nutrients clinically proven to support sensitive skin, along with boosted levels of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon, as a selected protein source, also helps reduce skin discomfort associated with food sensitivities.

What is `OPTIDERMA®`?

`OPTIDERMA®` is a proprietary blend of specific nutrients developed by Purina Pro Plan, clinically proven to help support healthy skin and a shiny coat in dogs with sensitivities.

How long will it take to see improvements in my dog's skin and coat?

Info needed: While individual results may vary, owners typically start noticing improvements in skin condition and coat luster within 3-6 weeks of consistent feeding, alongside a gradual transition period.

Can I feed this food to my dog if they have other allergies?

This food is designed to address skin sensitivities related to certain food proteins. If your dog has other specific allergies (e.g., environmental, or to other ingredients), it's essential to consult your veterinarian to determine if this food is appropriate for their specific needs.

Is salmon the only protein source?

Salmon is the first and primary protein source. The formula uses 'selected sources of protein' to minimize potential triggers for skin discomfort. For a full list of ingredients, please refer to the product packaging.

Does this food support joint health?

Yes, this formula includes key nutrients specifically chosen to help support healthy joints, which is beneficial for the active lifestyle of adult medium breed dogs.

Troubleshooting

My dog is reluctant to eat the new food.

Ensure you are transitioning gradually over 7-10 days. Try mixing a smaller portion of the new food with their old food. Check if the food is fresh and stored correctly. If refusal persists, consult your veterinarian.

My dog's sensitive skin issues are not improving.

Allow sufficient time for the dietary changes to take effect (typically several weeks). Ensure consistent feeding according to guidelines. If there's no improvement after a reasonable period, consult your veterinarian to rule out other underlying health conditions or allergies not related to food sensitivity.

My dog is experiencing digestive upset (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting).

This can sometimes occur if the transition to new food is too rapid. Slow down the transition period. Ensure your dog is not being overfed. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your veterinarian immediately.
