Leo’s Story: Combatting The Pesky Itch

Is Your Dog’s Restlessness Affecting More Than Meets The Eye?

If you can relate to being woken up by your dog throughout the night to scratch-scratch-scratch, you’re not alone.

Leo, a 2-year-old Spoodle (and teddy bear), has experienced skin discomfort and a dull coat for over half his life. His owner, Jess, has him professionally groomed and eating a fresh food diet, but neither of which seemed to alleviate the itching and dry skin.

While Leo didn’t have any obvious skin conditions, that constant irritation, even if low-level, can disrupt their natural sleep cycle. Adult dogs need about 12-14 hours of sleep per day, and if you have a puppy, senior, or larger breed of dog, they may need 18-20 hours of sleep per day.

So, what happens if they aren’t sleeping enough? Similarly to humans, when dogs don’t get enough rest due to itching or discomfort, over time it can affect multiple areas of their health from the immune system, to mood, behaviour, cognitive function and physical recovery. Now, we’re not claiming that if you start using Updog Skin & Coat Hero, your dog will become better behaved overnight - but the link is closer than you may expect.

So, after hearing about Updog, Leo’s Mum sought a natural solution. Formulated with a blend of science-backed, superpowered ingredients, Skin & Coat Hero was designed to nourish from the inside out.

Here’s the results Leo experienced:

Week 1 - Improved mealtime enjoyment: The secret fishy addition to this supplement enhanced the palatability of Leo’s meals, resulting in reduced fussiness.

“I don't know what magical powers are in it, but no more fussy eater here anymore.” - Jess

Week 2 - Shinier coat: Jess saw a noticeable enhancement in coat brightness, softness, and reduced matting of his golden locks.

Weeks 3-5 - Combatted itching, flakey skin and paw licking: They have noticed a substantial decrease in behaviours associated with skin irritation. Leo is more settled at night and less restless during the day.

“This is a holy grail supplement for our dog’s coat. Before Updog, his coat was dull and matted quickly even after being professionally groomed. Now it’s brighter, shiny and super soft. I had my doubts but will happily eat my words. This product is the bee's knees.”

Supplement Intervention

Jess introduced Skin & Coat Hero, a natural dog supplement developed to support skin hydration, coat shine, and comfort in dogs. The supplement is formulated with:

Flaxseed Meal: A rich and highly concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids including ALA (essential fat) to promote coat gloss.

Sweet Potato Powder: Packed with vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin E, and powerful antioxidants - all of which support healthy skin, a shiny coat, and a strong immune system in dogs.

Nettle Extract: Traditionally used to soothe seasonal itching as a natural anti-allergy and antihistamine.

Probiotics: Supports gut health, which is one of the leading triggers of skin issues in dogs.

Green Lipped Mussel Powder: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties and supporting skin structure, containing omega 3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA (more essential fats).

Turmeric and Ground Black Pepper: A combination with natural anti-inflammatory benefits.

And that's it! No fillers, artificial flavouring or hidden nasties.

Skin & Coat Hero stands out in the market, offering a research-driven solution with ingredients that meet therapeutic minimums to offer an effective itchy dog remedy.

Leo’s case is a reminder that even low-level skin irritation can have a ripple effect on your dog’s rest, mood, and quality of life. So, if your dog shows similar concerns, Skin & Coat Hero provides a clean, reliable, and ingredient-focused option!
