Product Introduction
SPECIFIC™ Skin Function Support has the highest levels of Omega-3 fish oils of all SPECIFIC™ products. Skin Function Support is the ideal product to support dogs with skin conditions caused by environmental allergens, such as fleas or pollens, as well as providing valuable support for dogs with heart conditions. Unlike food allergies, where the problem foods can be avoided, it is almost impossible to avoid environmental allergens. Nutrition can help by strengthening the skin, giving better barrier protection from the allergens and by supporting the natural anti-inflammatory process resulting from the allergic reaction.
