Dull Coat? Dry Skin? It Could Be a Fatty Acid Deficiency

Dull Coat? Dry Skin? It Could Be a Fatty Acid Deficiency

Is your dog’s coat looking dull, flaky, or shedding more than usual? You might be looking at a classic case of essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency — and the fix starts from within.

Dogs can’t produce omega 3 or 6 fatty acids on their own, so they must get them through diet or supplementation. These ‘good fats’ are essential for multiple functions, but one of their most visible roles is in skin and coat health.

The Skin & Coat Benefits of Omega 3 & 6:

🐾 Shinier, softer coat

💧 Improved skin hydration

🔥 Reduced itching, flakiness & inflammation

🛡 Stronger skin barrier to protect against allergens

🧠 Support for brain, heart & immune health

Think of omega oils as moisturiser from the inside. When your dog gets the right balance of EFAs, it shows — with glossier fur, fewer flakes, and less scratching.
