A healthy skin barrier and a glossy coat, driven by the right balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, protein quality and key micronutrients.
Linoleic acid and essential fatty acids that support the skin’s water barrier.
Protein, zinc, biotin and B vitamins for coat shine and condition.
Omega-6 to omega-3 ratios designed and verified by fatty-acid analysis.
Limited-ingredient and novel-protein recipes for sensitive pets.
“Supports healthy skin and a glossy coat” — not medical claims about itching, allergies or dermatitis.
Peer-reviewed studies in dogs and cats — including where evidence is limited — and how each one shapes our formulation.
Diets enriched with linoleic acid significantly reduced transepidermal water loss; the ideal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and dose are not yet agreed.
Fatty-acid profiles are designed and then verified by analysis.
International guidelines say oral essential fatty acids may give a small benefit in atopic dermatitis, may take about two months, and are not a sole therapy.
Skin products are positioned as nutritional support, never as a medical product.
Species, life stage, format and the benefit you want — checked against the published evidence.
Active levels and draft claims agreed per market before formulation.
Recipe built to nutrient profiles, with actives at evidence-based levels.

Every project at Guires Pet Nutrition Lab runs inside an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system and FSSAI-licensed operations, with documented methods, calibrated instruments, traceable raw materials and reviewed reports — so the results behind your product can be checked and defended.
Tell us the pet, the format and the markets — we will come back with an evidence-based development plan.
Every Guires PNL product is formulated to comply with the FEDIAF Nutritional Guidelines and the AAFCO Dog and Cat Food Nutrient Profiles. Neither body issues certificates to manufacturers, so compliance is verified independently against their published standards — and every product comes with a complete documentation package for regulatory submissions in the EU, US, Australia and Asian markets.
