Your dog's skin and coat can tell you a lot about their overall health and wellbeing. That's why providing the right nutrients to support healthy skin and a strong, glossy coat is an important part of their everyday diet.
FORRESTERS Peptide+ Skin & Coat has been specially formulated to provide targeted nutritional support for dogs with a focus on skin, coat and dietary sensitivity.
With highly digestible hydrolysed proteins, carefully selected oils and collagen peptides, Peptide+ Skin & Coat provides nutritional support from the inside out.
The Power of Peptides
One of the key features of FORRESTERS Peptide+ Skin & Coat is Freshtrusion HDP (Highly Digestible Protein).
The Freshtrusion HDP process involves cooking freshly prepared meat and fish ingredients in the presence of a natural enzyme. This breaks the proteins down into smaller chains called peptides.
The size of these peptides can influence how effectively protein is digested and absorbed. FORRESTERS uses small-chain peptides to help provide readily available amino acid building blocks that can be used to support important structures within the skin and coat.
This is sometimes described as the "Goldilocks principle" — finding the right-sized peptides to support efficient digestion and absorption.
Supporting the Skin Barrier
A healthy skin barrier helps protect your dog from the outside environment while helping to maintain moisture within the skin.
The amino acids provided by the highly digestible peptides help support the production of important proteins such as keratin, collagen and elastin, which play important roles in the structure, strength and elasticity of the skin and coat.
Collagen peptides also provide building blocks to support healthy skin structure and elasticity.
Supporting Dogs With Dietary Sensitivities
Some dogs can experience skin problems associated with sensitivities to particular dietary ingredients.
FORRESTERS Peptide+ Skin & Coat uses hydrolysed fish proteins, which are broken down into smaller peptides. This reduces their molecular size and can help reduce the likelihood of triggering a dietary reaction in sensitive dogs.
The recipe is also formulated without grains, making it an option for dogs with grain intolerance or sensitivities.
If your dog is experiencing persistent itching, scratching or other skin problems, it's important to speak to your vet, as there can be many different causes.
What's Inside Peptide+ Skin & Coat?
The recipe combines carefully selected ingredients to provide targeted nutritional support.
🐟 Hydrolysed Salmon & White Fish
Freshly prepared hydrolysed salmon makes up 35% of the recipe, alongside hydrolysed dried white fish. These provide highly digestible sources of animal protein.
🫐 Borage Oil
Borage oil is naturally rich in Omega-6 GLA, an essential fatty acid associated with supporting healthy skin.
🐟 Salmon Oil & Algae
Salmon oil and algae provide sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA, which contribute to maintaining healthy skin and coat condition.
🦴 Collagen Peptides
Collagen provides important building blocks for the skin and connective tissues, helping to support skin structure and elasticity.
🌿 Omega-3 & Omega-6
The recipe contains carefully selected levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to help support skin moisture and maintain a soft, healthy-looking coat.
Supporting Skin & Coat Health
FORRESTERS Peptide+ Skin & Coat has been formulated to support several aspects of your dog's skin and coat health:
-

Skin nourishment – Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids help support healthy skin.
-
Coat condition – essential fatty acids help promote a soft, healthy-looking coat.
-
Skin structure – collagen peptides provide building blocks for healthy skin.
-
Digestibility – Freshtrusion HDP provides highly digestible peptide-based protein.
-
Dietary sensitivity support – hydrolysed fish proteins have a lower molecular weight than intact proteins.
-
Grain free – formulated without grains for dogs with grain intolerance or sensitivities.
What Do Pet Parents Say?
In feeding trials supplied with the FORRESTERS Peptide+ Skin & Coat product information, 75% of participating pet owners reported seeing improvements in their dogs' skin and coat condition.
Individual results can vary, and this should not be considered a guarantee that every dog will experience the same results.
A Complete Approach to Skin & Coat Care
Healthy skin and a healthy coat start from within. FORRESTERS Peptide+ Skin & Coat combines highly digestible hydrolysed fish proteins, collagen peptides, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids and carefully selected oils to provide targeted nutritional support.
Whether your dog has a sensitive diet, you're looking for a grain-free option, or you simply want to give their skin and coat some extra nutritional support, Peptide+ Skin & Coat is a range worth exploring.
If your dog is experiencing ongoing itching, scratching, hair loss or other skin concerns, we always recommend speaking to your vet before changing their diet.
