<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: A Nutritional Diet Helps
A meat-based diet that dogs get with premium foods can keep their skin from becoming dry and itchy. Dry dog food should have meat, such as beef, lamb, poultry or fish, as its main ingredient. You can also give your dog vitamins and occasional table scraps. According to ConsumerSearch,com, the best dry dog food is Orijen, followed by Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul. The best canned dog food is Innova Evo, and the next best is Canidae, according to ConsumerSearch.com.
On the Other: Cheap Diets Lead to Itchy Skin
Many dog foods that are advertised as complete and balanced may really be the cheapest, according to ThePetCenter.com. A cheap diet filled with meat byproducts and corn will put the dog's body in a state of stress, affecting the skin and coat.
Bottom Line
For itchy skin, supplements such as omega fatty acids can help. But if you feed your dog a premium, meat-based diet, supplements are usually not necessary, according to ThePetCenter.com.
