Alcoat-Z — Skin & Coat Nutritional Supplement
Alcoat-Z is a veterinary nutritional syrup formulated with balanced Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, Biotin and Zinc to support skin barrier integrity, coat quality and physiological resilience in dogs and cats.
Clinical Overview & Rationale
Skin is the largest and most metabolically active organ in dogs and cats. Compromised barrier function — often seen in allergic, inflammatory or nutritional dermatoses — leads to transepidermal water loss, altered lipid composition and impaired epidermal turnover.
Alcoat-Z provides targeted nutritional support to restore epidermal lipids, strengthen keratin structures and promote healthy sebum production for sustained skin and coat health.
Key Ingredients & Actions
- Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids — Modulate inflammatory pathways, restore ceramide balance and reduce pruritus in allergic dermatoses.
- Omega 9 (Oleic Acid) — Enhances skin hydration and barrier stability without pro-inflammatory effects.
- Biotin (Vitamin B7) — Essential cofactor for fatty acid metabolism and keratin synthesis, supporting coat strength and sheen.
- Zinc — Critical for epidermal proliferation, wound healing and immune regulation at the skin level.
