How It Works

The Medicus Canine Skin Health Diet is meticulously crafted to address these key nutritional needs:

Food sensitivities can be triggered by the quality of ingredients in a pet food (think meat meals, 4D meats), feeding the same diet for years, and biologically inappropriate foods, including fillers, dyes, and synthetic preservatives. Food sensitivities are a gradual progression, which is why clean, novel ingredients work.
