DHA (or docosahexaenoic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid similar to Omega 3 (PUFA-ω3) that offers an anti-inflammatory and stimulating function ⁽¹⁾. Diets enriched with PUFA-ω3 significantly reduce symptoms of pruritus and atopy ⁽²⁾ and other ailments affecting the immunological system. Krill is particularly rich in PUFA-ω3 linked to phospholipids, easier to assimilate and more effective than those linked to triglycerides ⁽³⁾.

High levels of Methionine  (Select Veterinary Diets Skin & Coat contains 2,000 mg/kg) prevent hair loss, increase the rate of capillary growth and also the shininess of the outer layer.

A diet with a zinc supplement contributes to the solving of cutaneous problems caused by immune system disorders, or those caused by a deficiency of Zinc ⁽⁴⁾. Select Veterinary Diets Skin & Coat, enriched with Zinc, contributes to solving skin problems of this type.

Biotin is a vitamin involved in the cellular multiplication processes. Supplementing the diet with Biotin solves problems of alopecia, dermatitis and pruritus associated with a deficiency of this vitamin ⁽⁵⁾.
