Summer pet wellness : Natural support for Allergies, skin & seasonal challenges

Summer brings longer walks, more outdoor adventures, warmer temperatures and with them, seasonal challenges for our pets. From itchy skin and fleas to irritated eyes and ears, supporting your pet naturally during the warmer months can help keep them comfortable and thriving.

Here are our favorite herbal summer essentials from the PhytoPet range.

Allergy Aid — Natural Seasonal Support

Warmer weather often means an increase in environmental allergens such as pollen, grasses, and dust. Many pets begin to show signs of seasonal irritation through scratching, licking, red skin, or watery eyes.

Phytopet Allergy Aid combines a carefully selected blend of herbs traditionally used to support the body during allergic reactions and skin irritation.

Key Herbal Ingredients

  • Huang Qin (Scutellaria baicalensis)
  • Ginkgo biloba
  • Eye bright
  • Nettle

Traditionally Used To Support

  • Seasonal itching
  • Inflamed skin
  • Allergic reactions
  • Skin comfort during high pollen months

The formula also contains naturally occurring flavonoids and plant compounds traditionally valued for their soothing and balancing properties.

Salmon Oil Plus — Omega-3 Support for Skin and Coat

Alongside herbal support, many owners find that omega-3 fatty acids make a noticeable difference to skin and coat condition, particularly through the summer months when skin can feel more sensitive.

Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil have been studied several times in dogs with allergic skin conditions. Research generally links them to lower itch scores, usually as part of a wider plan alongside a vet's care, with some studies finding they allow lower doses of prescribed itch medication.

Ideal For

  • Everyday skin and coat condition
  • Supporting a glossy coat
  • Part of a broader skin care routine, alongside your vet's advice for a diagnosed allergy

Our Salmon Oil Plus is formulated for allergy support, or choose Scottish Salmon Oil for everyday omega-3 support.
