Skin
Complaints
Some skin complaints, or a scurfy coat can often be caused by a period of
incorrect feeding. A programme of weekly fasting together with a premium
quality diet such as Quantum Choice can help to improve skin and coat condition.
Quantum Choice does not contain wheat, soya, beef or dairy products,
and no synthetic colours, flavours or preservatives are added. This has
proved invaluable for many dogs suffering from food related eczema, poor
coat condition or scurfy skin.
External Treatment
Wash the dog thoroughly with Tea Tree Oil or Coal tar Shampoo as directed
on the bottle. Use Tea Tree Oil or Exmarid Lotion for any areas which continue
to remain affected. It is important to remember that this external treatment
is intended to relieve the symptoms and help reduce the irritation, whilst
the corrective diet has time to take effect.
If your vet has recommended Quantum or given any specific
feeding instructions you must follow them. If your dog has been put on a
special prescription diet you must seek your vet's advice before changing
to any other food.

Corrective Diet
Feed your dog Quantum Choice Lamb and Rice or Select Protein complete
food in one or two meals per day. Quantum is scientifically balanced and
requires no further additives (oils, vitamins, etc.). Because of
it's high digestibility, you may notice a lower stool volume from your
dog; this is quite normal.
It is essential that you do not feed your dog any table scraps,
treats, additional meats or gravy, dairy products (including cheese or
chocolate) or products containing wheat (toast, dog biscuits, etc.) as
these products may counter the benefits of feeding Quantum choice. Tinned
dog food should not be used or added to Quantum at any time.
Every dog between one year old and eight years old must have a weekly
fast day. This is extremely beneficial and allows your dogs digestive
tract to have a rest from food. This is a natural process for your dog;
you are not starving him. On the day following the fast day, 30-50% additional
food may be offered split into two meals. Some dogs fast naturally for
24 hours, it is important to allow your dog to fast and not to offer highly
flavoured foods as an alternative during this period. Dogs over eight
years old should be offered half their normal food on one day each week.
