Common Causes of Skin & Coat Issues in Dogs


1. Allergies and sensitivities

Grass, pollen and dust are common seasonal triggers for itchy, red or sore skin, often worse in spring and summer.

2. Diet and omega balance

A diet low in essential fatty acids can leave a coat dull and skin dry - omega-rich oils and supplements can help support condition over time. Raw feeding and avoiding commercial pet foods that are high in carbohydrates is often one of the best ways to manage skin sensitivity.  

3. Seasonal shedding

Coat quality often dips around moulting season; regular grooming alongside the right supplement can help keep things manageable.

Choosing the Right Skin & Coat Care

Shampoos for sensitive or itchy skin

Look for gentle, soap-free formulas with soothing ingredients like oatmeal, aloe or neem.

Supplements for coat condition

Powders and oils added to food can help support skin barrier function and coat shine from within.

Everyday Skin Care Tips

Brush regularly to spread natural oils through the coat, dry thoroughly after walks in wet weather, and introduce any new product gradually to watch for sensitivity.

If allergies seem to be behind your dog's symptoms, our Allergies/Itchy Dog collection may help, and our Ticks collection covers seasonal pest care too.

What's a good daily routine for a dog with generally dry, flaky skin (not specifically allergic)?

Seaweed Powder and Scottish Salmon Oil are both popular daily additions to food, providing natural minerals and omega oils that support skin condition and a glossy coat from within. Wonder Gel or Silver Aloe Gel can be used topically on particularly dry or flaky patches.

What's the difference between a soothing shampoo and a topical spray for skin issues?

A shampoo like Itchy Dog Shampoo or Lucaa+ Probiotic Shampoo is used at bath time as part of a wash routine. A spray, such as Lucaa+ Allergen-Free Skin Spray, is for topical use between baths and can be applied directly to a flare-up area as needed. We normally suggest using the Allergen-Free Skin Spray on a daily basis. It contains probiotics which help to restore the microbiome of the skin and is particularly beneficial for dogs with allergies.

My dog has a cut, graze or sore patch of skin - is there something natural I can use?

LUCAA+ Probiotic Pet Wound Care Spray uses probiotics to help support the skin's natural healing environment on minor cuts, grazes and sore patches. For anything deep, not healing, or that looks infected, please see your vet.

What are the benefits of seaweed for my dog's coat?

Seaweed is a popular natural addition to a dog's diet and is traditionally used to support healthy digestion, skin and coat condition, a normal metabolism, the immune system, and healthy teeth and bones.

My dog has a slightly musty or yeasty smell to their skin - what can help?

A yeasty smell is often linked to an imbalance in the skin's natural bacteria, sometimes alongside itchy or greasy patches. The Yeast Support Bundle brings together Skin Aid tincture, Skin Combo pillules and Lucaa+ Allergen-Free Probiotic Skin Spray to help restore a healthier skin microbiome. If the smell is strong or comes with visible redness or scabbing, it's worth a vet check to rule out anything needing more specific care.
