VETERINARY Virbac HPM® Dermatology Support Dog Food
Help support your dog from skin and coat problems with VETERINARY HPM® Dermatology. Suitable for dog skin disorders such as dermatosis, excessive hair loss, inflammatory skin conditions, dermatitis, atopic dermatitis and pruritus (itchy skin).
Dermatological conditions can damage the natural skin barrier and lead to irritation, itching, poor coat condition and excessive hair loss in dogs. VETERINARY HPM® Dermatology Support is a complete and balanced dog food specially formulated to help manage common conditions, control inflammation and restore your dog’s skin and coat health.
Dermatology Support provides high amounts of high quality animal proteins rich in sulphur amino acids, which form the building blocks of healthy skin and hair. It also features our signature DERMA Plus complex with essential nutrients to promote recovery and protection from skin and coat conditions:
- Omega 3 fatty acids (including EPA and DHA)
- Omega 6 fatty acids (including linoleic acid)
- Antioxidant vitamins A and E
VETERINARY HPM® Dermatology Support is suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds, but should not be given to dogs with chronic kidney disease. In pets with suspected dog food allergies or intolerances, we recommend trying the VETERINARY HPM® Allergy range first.
