MERA Skin Control Dog Food

Description

Diet dry food for dogs with skin diseases
The causes that can cause skin problems in dogs are very diverse

In order to successfully treat a dog, it is very important that it is given a thorough examination by a veterinarian. If only the symptoms are treated and not the cause, the symptoms usually come back after a while and all the effort has done no good. Often times, symptoms are triggered by fleas and other parasites, fungi, bacteria, and injuries. Feed intolerance, allergies or allergens from the environment (e.g. pollen count) are the cause less frequently. Food allergies are usually an overreaction of the immune system to certain proteins in the food. In the case of the more common feed intolerances, however, the immune system is not involved. The symptoms of a food allergy are often indistinguishable from those of a food intolerance – these can manifest themselves in the form of skin problems, permanently inflamed ears or impaired digestion – e.g. diarrhea. Medicines often bring relief, but – as long as the cause is not eliminated – they cannot bring about permanent freedom from symptoms. Therefore, affected animals are adjusted to a diet that, thanks to strictly selected raw materials, reduces the risk of reactions. Since the inflammatory skin reactions need time to subside at rest and new, healthy skin only builds up after weeks, feeding for at least 10-12 weeks is necessary.

How SKIN CONTROL dry food supports your dog with skin diseases

MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL is a high premium dry diet developed by veterinarians and nutritionists, which, thanks to the composition of duck and potato, offers a low allergy potential and is therefore also suitable as an elimination diet. This is prescribed by a veterinarian in order to be able to test specific protein sources after the inflammatory skin reactions have subsided (usually after approx. 10-12 weeks). This gives you an overview of food allergens that should be avoided in the future. Due to the high effectiveness and the fact that many dogs are doing well with MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL, provocation with other protein sources is often dispensed with and the dog is permanently fed with MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL. The skin barrier plays a major role in so-called atopy (allergy to environmental stimuli such as Pollen and mites) play a very important role, as they protect the body like a protective shield from external dangers such as allergens. If the barrier is disrupted, more allergens can enter the body through the skin and thus trigger inflammatory reactions on the skin. MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL contains a complex of vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, niacin, folic acid and pantothenic acid, which can strengthen the skin barrier and have a positive effect on the texture of the skin and coat. Biotin and zinc regenerate skin and fur and strengthen the immune system. Omega-3 fatty acids actively alleviate inflammatory processes in the skin and intestines. Since food allergies and intolerances can also manifest themselves in some dogs through digestive disorders, the intestinal flora is stabilized by prebiotic inulin.

Veterinary advice for skin diseases

Since serious underlying diseases such as hormonal disorders or autoimmune diseases can also be the cause of skin problems, you should definitely have your dog examined by a veterinarian. In particularly serious cases, it may be useful to consult a veterinarian specializing in dermatology. Meravital Skin Control should only be fed on the recommendation of a veterinarian and under appropriate medical supervision.

Our tips for using SKIN CONTROL dry food:

You can also offer MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL dry food moistened.
Please never put boiling water on the food, as this will destroy the valuable and heat-sensitive ingredients.
Boiled water must not be hotter than 50 ° Celsius when it comes into contact with high-quality food. Please let the feed cool down to 35 ° Celsius before you feed it.
Please ensure that your dog has constant access to fresh water.
If your dog prefers wet food, we recommend MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL wet food (please DO NOT feed this in combination with SKIN CONTROL dry food, as no statement can be made about allergies due to the different protein sources – the “either-or principle” applies here) .
When carrying out an elimination diet (e.g. to rule out food allergies), it is essential that your dog is fed exclusively with SKIN CONTROL, as every other food contains additional allergens (including normal treats, chewing bones, etc.) that make the treatment more difficult or falsify the diagnosis.
Instead of treats, give your dog attention in the form of praise and pats or reward him with individual MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL croquettes.
If in doubt, keep your dog on a leash or protect him with a muzzle to prevent him from eating outside without being watched.
Explain to the people around your dog why they are not allowed to give it any food other than MERAVITAL SKIN CONTROL.
