Why is salmon so good for a dogs skin? Omega 3 oils moisturize the skin from the inside, this improves the skin barrier function which prevents irritants from getting in and moisture from getting out, this makes salmon ideal for treating skin conditions such as dermatitis and psoriasis, less scratching means less shedding promoting a healthy shiny coat and less hair everywhere! Salmon is key if your dog suffers from joint pain. Salmon contains trace amounts of astaxanthin, an effective anti-inflammatory compound (it’s also what makes salmon pink!). Astaxanthin reduces the risk of heart disease and reduces joint pain by preventing the damage caused by oxidative stress.
