Dog food for sensitive skin

The best dog food for itchy skin is one tailored to your dog’s specific sensitivities. At Tails.com, we don’t use a "one-size-fits-all" approach. We use your dog’s profile to create a 100% tailored kibble blend. This means we can exclude any trigger ingredients from their blend. Then, by including ingredients like salmon oil and linseed, we help nourish their skin from the inside out.

While most allergies aren’t food-based, some dog food skin allergies are triggered by common ingredients like beef, dairy, or wheat. Our tailored kibble blends allow you to exclude these specific triggers. That way, your dog gets the high-quality ingredients they need to support skin health, without the ones that cause irritation. To make dog food that’s truly personal, we create millions of unique kibble combinations. Because these are made in the same space, trace amounts of other ingredients can be present. For dogs with severe allergies, we recommend working with your vet to find the safest diet.

Yes. If your dog has a sensitivity to grains, we can create a grain-free kibble blend that’s also tailored to support their skin health. That’s the magic of a personalised meal plan.  While we handle grains in our factory, our tailored kibble can be formulated without grain ingredients to suit dogs with specific dietary requirements. If your dog has severe allergies, it’s best to reach out to your vet for advice on choosing the right diet.

French Bulldogs are known for having delicate skin. We can tailor your dog’s kibble to support their breed and any health goals you may have for them.  If your Frenchie needs a little help in the skin department, we can add things like Atlantic salmon and whole linseed to help with nourished skin and a lovely, shiny coat. If your dog has severe allergies, it’s always best to speak to your vet for advice before switching diets.

At Tails.com, hypoallergenic means we exclude the most common allergy-triggering ingredients: wheat, soya, dairy, egg, and beef. Because our food is 100% tailored, it goes a step further than standard shop-bought food; if you tell us your dog reacts to a specific protein or grain, we can leave it out of their kibble blend. If your dog has severe allergies, we recommend reaching out to your vet for advice before switching diets.

Yes. While our tailored kibble is nutritionally complete and can support skin health, you can add a dog dry skin food supplement to your monthly box. These supplements are packed with concentrated ingredients to provide extra support for dogs prone to very sensitive skin. These easy-to-feed chews offer targeted support to help nourish their skin and coat further.  Once you’re signed up as a Tails.com customer, you’ll be able to add supplements to your next box. They'll be delivered along with your dog’s kibble every month – which is really handy!

Most owners notice a shinier, healthier-looking coat within a few weeks of switching to Tails.com. It can take up to 8–12 weeks of consistent feeding on a personalised meal plan to see the full benefits for skin health. If you’re not seeing an improvement in this time, you can reach out to our team of experts. They’ll be able to tweak your dog’s kibble blend to get the results you're looking for.

Absolutely. One of the best parts of a personalised meal plan is that it’s flexible. If your dog’s skin needs a little extra support somewhere else, or their sensitivities change, just update their profile in your Dashboard. Our expert team will adjust their tailored kibble in the next delivery. All adjustments are done gradually to help keep your dog’s digestion happy, too.
