The aim of the nutritional team at Skinner’s is to try and make the world a better place for dogs and their owners by improving health, welfare and the human-dog bond. My team continually research and apply current nutritional science in both the advice provided and in product review and development.

Let’s talk about your dog’s anal glands. Now this isn’t a subject that is particularly nice to discuss, but it is an important one. Whilst issues around this area are rare, problems can still occur and it is important that you know how to spot the signs and know how to help prevent issues arising…
The temperature is dropping, the evenings are getting shorter and the weather is, well… wet. These environmental changes will certainly have an effect on us, influencing our routines, moods and behaviour, but how do these changes (in particular the cold weather) effect our dogs?
At Skinner’s we understand the importance of healthy movement and mobility. Which is why we have developed a selection of dry kibble diets to provide joint support and help aid the flexibility of movement in a range of breeds, ages, shapes and sizes of dogs. These dog foods include Field & Trial Turkey & Rice and Field & Trial Maintenance Plus, both of which are formulated with Joint Aid for Dogs.
When changing from puppy food to adult food, there is typically a gradual decrease in the nutrient provision – in particular, a step-down in dietary protein, fat and energy levels, as well as managed levels of key minerals such as calcium and phosphorous. Our Junior diets can help make this step down from puppy food to adult dog food more gradual by providing a nutritional “stepping stone”.
Dogs working several days a week, whether beating or picking up, could be covering many miles of ground each week and their bodies will be starting to show the results. As the weather becomes colder and wetter, working gundogs might benefit from some changes to their nutrition intake to keep them going strong and in top-notch condition.
