Product Information

Full details

Specific COD Skin Function Support by Dechra is a veterinary-formulated dietetic dry dog food designed for adult dogs struggling with dermatosis or excessive hair loss. It provides significant relief for sensitive skin through a high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids that manage environmental irritation, though it requires a recommendation from your veterinarian before being introduced as your dog's primary diet.

FAQs

Do I need a prescription to purchase this food?

While it is available as a dietetic product, it is strongly recommended that you consult with your veterinarian to ensure it is the correct choice for your dog's specific condition.

Can I feed this to my puppy?

Specific COD is typically formulated for adult dogs. Please check the label or consult your veterinarian regarding life-stage suitability.

How long should my dog remain on this diet?

The duration of feeding is determined by your veterinarian, as it depends on the severity and nature of your dog's dermatological condition.

What if my dog has allergies to specific proteins?

If you suspect a food allergy, consult your veterinarian; they may recommend a hydrolyzed protein diet instead of this specific skin support formula.

Can this food help with seasonal shedding?

It is designed for excessive hair loss related to dermatosis, not necessarily standard seasonal shedding. Consult your vet to identify the cause of the hair loss.

Troubleshooting

Dog refuses to eat the food

Ensure a slow transition period of 7 days; if the dog continues to refuse, consult your vet for potential mixing techniques or palatability support.

Skin condition does not improve

Check if other sources of food, such as treats, are being given; ensure the dog is on the diet exclusively and consult your veterinarian for an assessment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Targets the root cause of dermatosis
  • Rich in anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Supports overall coat quality and shine
  • Highly palatable formula for picky eaters

Cons

  • Requires veterinary consultation for proper use
  • Limited to specific dermatological conditions
  • Higher price point than standard kibble

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Consultation: Always confirm with your veterinarian that this diet is appropriate for your dog's specific diagnosis.
  2. Transitioning: When switching from a previous diet, mix the new food with the old over 7 days, gradually increasing the ratio of Specific COD until it is the only food being fed.
  3. Storage: Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain the efficacy of the fatty acids and the freshness of the kibble.
  4. Hydration: Ensure fresh, clean water is always available, as specialized diets require proper hydration to assist with metabolic processing.
