Answer:
EPA and DHA are specific omega-3s derived from fish oil (in our case high grade salmon oil). GLA is an omega-6 derived from certain plants including Starflower (borage) and Evening Primrose Oil). All three have anti-inflammatory properties in the skin and can therefore help itchiness associated with sensitivities.

Question:
Are there any adverse effects using products from the YuDERM range?

Answer:
EFAs are well tolerated by most dogs but there are some that cannot cope with additional oils in their diet resulting in loose stools or diarrhoea. This can minimised by introducing the oils very gradually over 2 weeks. Immediate recurrence of diarrhoea would suggest oil supplements are unsuitable. Dogs with pancreatitis require a low-fat diet and so the YuDERM range would not be recommended in these cases.
