What causes your dog’s dry skin?
Over the course of their life, your precious pup might experience dry skin for a number of different reasons. While it might not seem like anything to worry about, dry skin can sometimes be a precursor to a more serious problem.
Possible causes of your dog’s dry skin include:
- Seasonal changes
- Cold weather
- Dry air
- Allergies
- Breed-specific skin conditions
- Unhealthy nutrition
- Infections
- Parasites
- Harsh or made-for-human grooming products
While some of your dog’s dry skin symptoms may be similar to what we experience as humans with dry skin, it may not always present in such an obvious way.
Keep an eye out for these symptoms if you think your dog has dry skin:
- Itchiness
- Dandruff
- Scabs
- Odour
- Inflammation
- Flaking
- Increased oiliness
Hemp seed oil as a natural treatment
Australian hemp oil for dogs works as a treatment for dry skin in many ways. It’s rich in essential fatty acids that help to manage inflammation and prevent inflammation-induced dryness.
One of the key essential fatty acids that hemp seed oil contains is gamma linolenic acid, a fatty substance often used in treating and relieving the symptoms of eczema and atopic dermatitis.
Hemp seed oil is also high in antioxidants, another compound that helps to reduce inflammation in the body and prevent dry skin-related disorders.
With such a powerful combination of properties, it’s no wonder that hemp seed oil can so effectively nourish and revitalise your four-legged friend’s skin.
