5 Reasons Your Dog’s Itchy Skin Could Be a Gut Issue — And What You Can Do About It
You've tried the special shampoos. Changed their food. Checked for fleas. But your dog’s still scratching, biting, and licking.
Here’s what most dog owners don’t realise:
Itchy skin doesn’t always start on the outside.
For many dogs, the problem begins in the gut.

1. Gut Imbalances Can Show Up on the Skin
The gut and skin are deeply connected. When your dog’s gut microbiome is out of balance, it can lead to signs like redness, itching, and excessive paw licking — especially during seasonal changes or stress.
2. Probiotics Help Rebalance the Microbiome
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support the gut. They help restore balance and improve how your dog’s body responds to everyday triggers — reducing the likelihood of skin discomfort and irritation.
3. Prebiotics Make Probiotics Work Better
Giving a probiotic is just the start. Prebiotics are special fibres that feed and fuel probiotics, helping them survive longer, grow stronger, and make a bigger impact on gut health — and in turn, skin health.
4. Most Dogs Aren’t Getting Both
Many supplements focus only on probiotics. But without prebiotics, these friendly bacteria may not stick around long enough to make a difference. For real results, your dog needs both — working together in sync.
5. A Healthy Gut = Happier, Less Itchy Dog
When the gut is supported correctly, everything improves: digestion, nutrient absorption, immune response, and yes, the skin. If your dog’s scratching seems endless, the answer might just be inside.

Got PRE+PRO Questions? We’re Here to Help.
From daily use to puppy suitability, find answers to the most common questions about PRE+PRO. Still wondering about something? Just reach out — we’re always happy to help.
How should I start my dog on PRE+PRO?
We recommend introducing PRE+PRO gradually over 2–3 days. Start with a small amount and increase to the full daily serve. This helps your dog’s gut adjust and ensures a smooth transition.
Can I give PRE+PRO daily?
Yes. PRE+PRO is designed for daily use as part of your dog’s regular routine. Consistency is key for ongoing gut and immune support.
What if my dog is already taking a probiotic?
PRE+PRO includes both probiotics and prebiotics for a complete approach to gut support. If you're currently giving a single probiotic, PRE+PRO can be a more comprehensive alternative.
How long before I see results from PRE+PRO?
Some dogs show changes within a few days—like improved stool consistency or fresher breath—while others may take 2–3 weeks for more noticeable results. Every gut is different!
Can puppies take PRE+PRO?
Yes! PRE+PRO is safe for puppies over 12 weeks of age. As with any new addition to their diet, start slowly and monitor their response.
Is PRE+PRO suitable for dogs with sensitive tummies?
Yes. In fact, it was developed specifically for dogs with gut sensitivities. It’s a gentle formula that supports digestive balance and overall wellbeing.
Can I mix PRE+PRO with other Tandem Super Foods?
Absolutely. PRE+PRO has been formulated to complement the rest of the Tandem range. You can combine it with our other Super Foods to support your dog’s unique nutritional needs.
