Blue Barn Dog Peptide+ Skin & Coat Care

With our Peptide+ range of dog foods, we have aimed to create a scientifically proven, functional diet for dogs with more specialised dietary requirements. 

What are Peptides and how do they work?

A Peptide is a short-chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. These are created when the Protein is broken down into small-chain peptides. Because the larger protein bonds are broken down into smaller bonds, digesting food becomes easier, allowing for the highest digestibility and absorption rates possible. 

Skin & Coat Care

A dog’s skin and coat is their form of protection from the environmental stressors of the outside world. When skin and coat issues occur, the protection is reduced and can cause further problems down the line. Canine dermatological disorders can be caused by many different things, with diet being a major component in keeping a dog’s skin and coat healthy. Intolerances/Allergies can be one of the causes of poor skin and coat quality. Because the proteins have been broken down into peptides, these smaller proteins are less likely to be recognised by the dog’s immune system as allergens. Optimal levels of Omegas 3 & 6 help to lock in skin moisture and promote a soft, glossy coat. With collagen peptides to support skin elasticity and overall skin health.
