From hotspots to joie de vivre – how we finally found the right food for our dog with dog food from Reico

After several food changes and recurring skin problems with our dog, we stumbled upon Reico by chance. Today, we've been feeding our dog Reico for a long time without any problems – and we'd like to share our experience.

Dog food and hotspots – how diet can affect skin problems
Our dog came from an animal shelter. Within the first few months, we noticed that he repeatedly developed so-called hotspots —inflamed patches of skin that visibly bothered him.
For the first two years, we changed our dog food almost every three months. We tried different brands, varieties, and formulations to find the cause. Unfortunately, the problem returned every time.
Special food from the vet
One trial involved an insect protein food , which we received on the recommendation of our veterinarian. The goal was to avoid any potential intolerances. Initially, there seemed to be some improvement, but the skin problems recurred after some time.
First encounter with Reico
By chance, we met a Reico sales partner at a trade fair. She listened to our situation and recommended a colon cleanse and a subsequent switch to Reico products.
Conversion and result
We started with the Pro 5 from Reico in combination with a suitable dry food . After switching, we noticed:
The skin problems no longer occurred
The coat looked healthier
We no longer had to change the food constantly
Why we recommend Reico today
Since we're happy with the food change, we've decided to become Reico distributors ourselves . This way, we can support other dog owners facing similar challenges.
