How can Naturediet help if my dog suffers from a skin
problem like Eczema?

Skin is the largest organ of the body and acts as an area of elimination for any substances deemed by the body as toxic or ‘foreign’ to the natural balance. If a toxin or ‘foreign’ particle enters the blood stream, often during the digestive process, the easiest means by which it can be eliminated is through the skin.

Allergic or intolerance reaction to diet is commonly the cause of skin conditions and may be confirmed with a change of food. An elimination diet is best to establish exactly what is causing the skin complaint and Naturediet is ideal, for it is free from the common allergens and inappropriate ingredients used in most proprietary pet foods. Many pet foods contain cheap meat meals or rendered fats whereas Naturediet uses only real meat; chemical additives like colourings, flavourings, stabilisers and fillers whereas Naturediet is chemical free; gluten, which can cause absorption problems whereas Naturediet uses only gluten free brown rice; a high level of cereal whereas Naturediet uses only brown rice in low levels; excessively cooked ingredients whereas Naturediet’s unique sterilisation process takes less than 5 minutes, eliminating the heat damage to the ingredients that may provoke an immune response. Naturediet also contains omega 3, which is proven to benefit skin and coat condition.

Naturediet also provides 3 elimination diets, which contain only 1 protein source:
Naturediet Chicken, Naturediet Lamb and Naturediet Fish.
If a protein allergy is suspected as the cause of the condition, these recipes may be fed alone to eliminate the known allergen from the diet completely.
A comprehensive Persistent Skin and Digestive Disorders Fact sheet is available for further information.
