PEA and Canine Skin Research: An Overview

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a fatty acid compound dogs produce naturally. It has been studied by researchers in a range of contexts, including skin health.

Skin problems in dogs — persistent scratching, licking or irritation — have many possible causes and should be assessed by a veterinarian, who can diagnose the cause and recommend appropriate care. A nutritional supplement is not a treatment for a skin condition.

WWN PEA is daily nutritional support for general wellbeing. Read about the compound in our PEA for Dogs guide.

This article summarises published research for general information. It is not veterinary advice, and WWN products are nutritional supplements — not medicines — and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Always consult your veterinarian about your pet’s health.
