What is your pup’s skin type? Does your dog have oily skin with scales and perhaps crust? Or does he have dry skin that’s flaky? You’ll want answers to these questions before you begin looking for a brand new dog shampoo.
When you head over to the store, you’re likely to uncover a lot of selections for dog shampoos. They’ll range in price from fairly affordable to quite costly. Just before you go and put down $15 on a dog shampoo, you ought to know what your needs are.
If your dog has very sensitive skin, there are specific things you want to keep away from. Try to avoid fragrant shampoos and conditioners because these can inflame your pet’s skin. If your pet’s skin is already inflamed, some good ingredients to use are aloe vera and oatmeal. I’ve used these ingredients with my pet with good results. If you find that soon after using the aloe vera and oatmeal shampoo or conditioner, your pup’s skin continues to be inflamed, you may want to try out some hydrocortisone to see if that will help. For canines with very sensitive skin it is usually a good idea to stay clear of shampoos and conditioners with synthetic ingredients. These are typically omitted from shampoos created for pets with sensitive skin.
If your dog has excess oils or scales on his skin, you can try a shampoo with sulfur and salicylic acid. These ingredients will work together for a synergistic effect and help remove the crust and scales from your dog’s skin. Once this is done, they will also help reduce scale production in the future. These ingredients provide an antibacterial and antifungal agent and help reduce itching.
It is always important to make sure that you thoroughly rinse your dog when you are done washing them. You always want to avoid getting the dog shampoo in the dog’s ears, eyes, and mouth. Used properly, a medicated dog shampoo can be a wonderful experience for your dog and they will really appreciate the relief.
