It may be a sign of skin sensitivity if you see your dog scratching a lot. The largest organ on your dog is its skin, which together with its coat accounts for about 12% of their total body weight. The skin acts as a barrier to protect your dog's body from harm and outside invaders, such as parasites and bacteria. It also serves to control their body temperature and contains their delicate nerve endings. For this reason, maintaining your dog's skin healthily is essential to promoting their general health and wellness. A balanced diet should support the health of your dog's full, healthy coat and include nutrients that help to calm the skin. The unique formula of ROYAL CANIN® Dermacomfort Loaf
