If your dog is constantly scratching, chewing their paws or suffering from red, irritated skin, allergies or skin irritation could be the cause. Skin problems (also known as atopy) are one of the most common reasons pets visit the vet, with environmental allergens such as pollen, grass and dust mites frequently triggering itching and discomfort.
Although allergies can't always be cured, they can often be managed successfully with the right combination of veterinary care, nutrition, environmental management and gentle skincare.
That's why we're delighted to introduce Leucillin, now available at Sabre Pet Food.
What Causes Itchy Skin in Dogs?
Dogs can develop itchy skin for many reasons, including grass allergies, pollen allergies, dust mites, environmental allergens, sensitive skin and secondary bacterial infections caused by excessive scratching.
Common signs include:
-
Excessive scratching
-
Constant paw licking or chewing
-
Red, inflamed skin
-
Hair loss
-
Hot spots
-
Recurring ear irritation
If left untreated, repeated scratching can damage the skin barrier, allowing bacteria to thrive and making the problem even worse.
What Is Leucillin?
Leucillin is an advanced hypochlorous antiseptic skincare range suitable for dogs and a wide range of other animals, including cats, horses, rabbits, small mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.
Using hypochlorous technology, Leucillin mimics part of the body's natural immune response by helping to reduce bacteria on contact. This helps create a cleaner environment that supports the skin's natural healing process.
Unlike many antiseptic products, Leucillin is:
-
Skin pH neutral
-
Alcohol free
-
Non-toxic
-
Non-sting
-
Steroid free
-
Antibiotic free
-
Safe to use around the eyes, ears and sensitive areas when used as directed
Because it's so gentle, Leucillin can be used regularly as part of your pet's everyday skincare routine.

-
Dogs

Horses
