Skin+Coat ChewsUpdated a month ago

What do they do and how do they work?

Our Skin+Coat Chews are formulated with 10 active ingredients that, among many skin and coat benefits, help promote healthy skin, help support a glossy coat, and help reduce excessive shedding. Skin+Coat Chews target all four skin layers and incorporate essential nutrients like omega fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals to help enhance the inside-out health of a dog's skin and coat.

What makes them different from other products in the market?

Our chews are the only air-dried, meat-based supplements in the market. Our proprietary Skin+Coat Chews have been researched, taste-tested, and developed by a team of pet-obsessed scientists and vet nutritionists. Skin issues often start beneath the skin, and our powerful probiotics and clean ingredients help support a healthy gut. The result? Healthy skin and a glowing coat.

What is an air-dried chew?

Air-dried chews are Native Pet’s answer to the industry-wide soft chew problem. While soft chews are highly processed and full of unnecessary fillers that are bad for your dog, an air-dried chew is a high-quality, single-source-protein-based supplement for dogs made by air-drying meat or fish without the use of artificial preservatives or additives. Air-drying is a gentle process that removes moisture from the meat while preserving its nutritional integrity and flavor. Invented by Native Pet in 2021, these natural supplements are often favored by pet owners seeking wholesome, minimally processed nutrition for their dogs.

What’s the difference between a soft chew and an air-dried chew?

Soft chews are starch-based, packed with gums and oils, artificially flavored, and contain 12+ ingredients. Air-dried chews are made with real chicken, no artificial flavoring, zero fillers, and only 4 inactive ingredients. The gentle air-drying process naturally preserves the active ingredients, maintaining optimal taste and texture for dogs.

How many Skin+Coat Chews do I give my dog?

We recommend giving one Skin+Coat Chew daily for every 25lbs of body weight. A 10lbs dog would receive one chew daily. A 40lbs dog would receive two chews daily. We always recommend easing into the full serving size during the first week. Skin+Coat Chews can be given with a meal or as a treat.

At what age can I give them to my dog?

We recommend Skin+Coat Chews for any dog over 3 months old.

Is it safe to use Skin+Coat Chews with other Native Pet supplements?

Yes! You can safely give Skin+Coat Chews with any other Native Pet product. We always recommend starting with a lower serving and easing into the full serving when introducing new products to your dog’s diet and when combining new supplements.

Do you recommend pairing Skin+Coat Chews with any other products?

We recommend taking [our quiz] to find your dog’s personalized routine (+ you’ll get $5 off!).

Can Skin+Coat Chews be used with other brands’ products or with my dog’s current medication?

We cannot guarantee the quality of other brands’ supplements and we always recommend consulting your veterinarian when it comes to combining any supplements with your dog’s medication.

How many calories are in each Skin+Coat Chew?

Each Skin+Coat Chew contains approximately 8.5 calories.

What flavor is a Skin+Coat Chew?

Our Skin+Coat Chews are made with real chicken, which is the most palatable way to deliver highly efficacious active ingredients to dogs. While other skin and coat products have to be used with pill pockets or pill wraps, our product is sure to have high palatability/acceptance to deliver the ingredients your dog needs.

Who formulated Skin+Coat Chews?

All Native Pet supplements are formulated in collaboration with Board-certified veterinarians.

How do these differ from the Omega Oil topper?

Our Skin+Coat Air-Dried Chews are little treats that pack big nutrition. While our Omega Oil is a great source of skin-soothing fish oil, our Air-Dried Chews offer more benefits to skin, with ingredients like echinacea, biotin, zinc, vitamin E, and collagen peptides. Also, some dogs are picky when it comes to fish oil and they may prefer our tasty Air-Dried Chews made with 100% real chicken. (Never chicken flavoring.)

Do Skin+Coat Chews contain any common allergens?

Our Skin+Coat Chews are made with real chicken, which may not be suitable for pups with poultry or meat allergies. They do not contain soy, gluten, or artificial ingredients.

What is the shelf life of Skin+Coat Chews?

We guarantee the quality of our products up until their best-by date, which is printed on the back of the packaging.

How do I store Skin+Coat Chews to maintain their quality?

Skin+Coat Chews come in a resealable pouch. We recommend storing the pouch in a cool, dry place to maintain quality and freshness.

How many calories are in Skin+Coat Chews?

Each Skin+Coat Chew contains approximately 8.5 calories.

How do I know if my dog needs Skin+Coat Chews?

Our Skin+Coat Chews are formulated to provide supplements that can be used proactively to maintain a healthy skin and coat for your pup. In most cases, a dull coat, non-lustrous hair, and minor rash could be alleviated by using Skin+Coat. If you notice any persistent and/or serious skin conditions, we highly recommend consulting your vet before using our product.

How long does it take for Skin+Coat Chews to start helping?

Skin+Coat Chews work best with consistent use, and they may take a few weeks to build up their full effect. Every dog is different and results may vary.
