Product Information

Full details

This Eukanuba Special Care Adult Sensitive Skin dry dog food is designed for adult dogs over 1 year old, particularly those with skin prone to sensitivity, itching, or irritation. Its key benefit is a hypoallergenic recipe with fish as the sole animal protein source, combined with omega fatty acids to support skin and coat health. A potential caveat is that it's produced in a factory that also processes grains, which might be a concern for severely sensitive dogs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'single source of animal protein' mean?

It means that fish is the only type of animal protein used in the recipe, which helps to reduce the chances of an allergic reaction in dogs sensitive to common proteins like chicken or beef.

Is this food suitable for puppies?

No, this formula is designed for adult dogs over 1 year of age. Puppies have different nutritional requirements and should be fed a puppy-specific diet.

How does the DentaDefense system work?

The kibble has a special texture and shape that helps to scrub plaque and tartar off your dog's teeth as they chew, contributing to cleaner teeth and healthier gums.

Can I feed this food if my dog doesn't have sensitive skin?

While formulated for sensitive skin, it is a complete and balanced food for adult dogs. However, simpler ingredient diets may not provide the same breadth of nutrients as a standard adult formula. Consult your vet for the best long-term option.

What are prebiotics and how do they help digestion?

Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that feed beneficial bacteria in your dog's gut. This helps to promote a healthy gut microbiome, leading to better digestion and nutrient absorption.

Is this food completely grain-free?

The formula is described as wheat-free, but it is made in a factory that processes grains. This means there is a risk of cross-contamination for dogs with extremely severe grain allergies.

How long should it take to see improvements in skin condition?

Visible improvements in skin and coat condition typically take 4-8 weeks of consistent feeding, as it takes time for the beneficial nutrients to impact the skin and hair follicles.

Troubleshooting

Dog is reluctant to eat the new food.

Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. You can try warming the kibble slightly or adding a small amount of warm water to enhance aroma. Consult your veterinarian if reluctance persists.

Digestive upset (loose stools or vomiting) after switching.

Slow down the transition process. Offer smaller, more frequent meals. If symptoms persist for more than 48 hours, revert to the previous food and consult your veterinarian.

No improvement in skin condition after several weeks.

Skin issues can have multiple causes. Consult your veterinarian to rule out other underlying medical conditions, allergies (environmental, flea), or infections that may require different treatment.

Dog is gaining or losing too much weight.

Adjust portion sizes based on the feeding guidelines and your dog's activity level. Consult your veterinarian to determine the ideal weight and caloric intake for your dog.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Transitioning to Eukanuba Special Care Adult Sensitive Skin:

When introducing this food, gradually transition your dog over a 7-10 day period. Mix a small amount of the new food with the old food, slowly increasing the proportion of the new food and decreasing the old food. This helps prevent digestive upset.

Compatibility:

Suitable for all breeds of adult dogs (over 1 year old).
Recommended for dogs with sensitive skin, itching, or prone to food intolerances.
Suitable for dogs that require a single-source animal protein diet.
*Note*: While wheat-free, it is made in a factory that processes grains.

Feeding Guidelines:

Refer to the feeding guide on the product packaging for specific portion sizes based on your dog's weight and activity level. Adjust as needed to maintain an ideal body condition.

Storage:

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is properly sealed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture and air from degrading the kibble. Do not store in the original shipping container if it is open.

Care:

Always provide fresh, clean water for your dog.
Monitor your dog's weight and adjust food intake accordingly.
Consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about your dog's health or specific dietary needs.
