Atopic dermatitis in companion animals is increasingly understood as a systemic, multifactorial condition shaped by immune dysregulation, barrier dysfunction, and microbiome imbalance. This webinar examines the emerging science of the gut–skin axis and its clinical relevance in managing chronic inflammatory dermatologic disease. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how targeted microbiome modulation, through innovations like Skin Rescue, can complement conventional therapies and improve long-term patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives

• Interpret findings from clinical studies evaluating postbiotic use in cats and dogs with atopic dermatitis symptoms.
• Explain the role of gut barrier dysfunction and microbiome imbalance in systemic inflammation and skin disease.
• Describe the self-perpetuating inflammatory cycle in chronic dermatologic conditions and how to interrupt it.
• Understand the rationale for targeting gut integrity, immune signaling, and oxidative stress simultaneously.
• Evaluate key ingredient classes that support tissue repair while ensuring safety and low allergenicity.
• Summarize the multi-mechanism formulation strategy behind Skin Rescue.
• Apply practical approaches to integrate microbiome-targeted supplementation with corticosteroids, biologics, and dietary plans.
• Identify clinical cases where gut-focused interventions offer the greatest benefit, including chronic and treatment-refractory patients.
