The annoying shedding stops

My dog used to lose hair in clumps, and dull fur is now a thing of the past. It seems to be very tasty and is eaten with great enthusiasm—works after a short time! Oily, moist but crispy small pellets with a diameter of 1cm. Normal output, thank you.

Helps

Tried quite a few things... nothing worked... gave my dog this food, and within two days the hair loss improved significantly, the paw licking stopped as well, and the red spots are noticeably reducing. I'm really glad I found this food.

Solved my staffys skin issues

My Staffy was on daily chronic medication for skin allergies. Since using this good his skin allergies have almost completely cleared up. I barely have to give him any medication at all now.

Helps

My dog has atopic dermatitis... she tolerates the food very well and enjoys eating it. The itching has significantly decreased. Together with a special shampoo and a care oil for her coat, she no longer has dandruff or hair loss. Thankfully, we can do without Cytopoint, which wasn’t helping anymore anyway. We’re sticking with this food.

Super food!

We’re getting on really well with this food, so we don’t need Apoquel anymore! My dog tolerates and eats this food very well!

Well...

My retriever lady suffers from a severe pollen allergy and has been taking tablets for it since May. The fact that vets and others helped with the formulation convinced me to try the food. My dog eats it willingly, which is a plus point. Now to the negative: my dog's coat became duller and less attractive day by day. Her skin was dry, and at times I had to apply cream to it. Unfortunately, it's not suitable for dogs with severe allergies. I'm back to feeding raw now, and my dog is doing better with it.

Effect is good, taste is not ideal.

My male dog suffers from grass and pollen allergies. We've managed to get his severe allergic reactions (not just itching, but also swelling of the head) under control with a combination of Apoquel and Hills Derm Defense. His coat is shiny and healthy, and his skin is no longer dry or damaged. - He doesn’t eat it with much enthusiasm - but he’s generally a bit picky when it comes to commercial dog food. I think for any dog that generally enjoys eating, it would probably be well received.

Unfortunately, no success.

We’ve been feeding our German Shepherd Derm Defense for 2 months now. Unfortunately, it hasn’t helped at all – quite the opposite, her skin has never been this bad, and we now have to resort to medication again and will try a different food.

Great for people with environmental allergies

My dog loves the food, and I was even able to halve the tablets for itching!

expensive but does the job

Seems to be highly palatable, and does what it says on the tin.

seems to work

My dog has sebhoreic dermatitis and so is itchy and smelly Found this product on Zooplus and thought it worth a try as nothing I have done before seems to help Even a few days in the smell has gone and itching much reduced so have to say this is worth the extra cost

Infestation of grass mites

Our terrier Ebby was suffering from a grass mite infestation. Our vet prescribed Apoquel and Derm Defenses, and with those, we managed to get the problem under control.
