Is bath time a battlefield for your furry buddy? Does your canine’s hide go red, itchy, or scaly after a good scrub? Well, this means that your dog has delicate skin. But don’t worry; you can still organize for him a soothing spa day! Bath time can be a wagging-tail experience with the use of an appropriate shampoo. Now let’s explore the world of gentle cleansing for our dogs with sensitive skin.
Like us, dogs may have easily irritated skin. This may be caused by allergic reactions, environmental factors or even their breed. Using strong shampoos strips them of natural oils thereby making their skin dry, itchy, and uncomfortable. Thankfully, specially formulated shampoos are available!
Natural Ingredients: Oatmeal, aloe vera and chamomile are miracles when pacifying delicate skin.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from shampoos that contain synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, parabens, and sulfates because these substances cause irritability.
pH Balanced: Dogs’ skin pH differs from that of humans so choose one designed specifically for dogs.
Veterinarian Recommended: If your dog has serious skin issues then you should use vet-approved shampoo.
Burt’s Bees Oatmeal Shampoo with Colloidal Oat Flour & Honey: A much loved classic due to its mild formulation and calming additives; it’s a daily shampoo that gives your dog a shiny coat.
Earthbath Oatmeal & Aloe Fragrance Free Shampoo: If your pooch is too sensitive to smells, this fragrance-free alternative is the way to go. It’s loaded with soothing oats and aloe vera which are known to calm irritated skin.
4Legger Certified Organic Dog Shampoo: This shampoo contains plant-sourced ingredients and essential oils making it ideal for those looking for an all-natural solution. It is mild enough yet works well in terms of cleaning and moisturizing.
Pro Pet Works Oatmeal Dog Shampoo & Conditioner: This 5-in-1 formula cleans, conditions, detangles, moisturizes, and deodorizes all in one go. For busy pet owners who always lack time it will be a real time saver.
In case of failure of the sensitive skin shampoo to work, you should consult your vet as soon as possible. The vet will help determine the root cause and advise the right treatment method.
Remember: Bathtime is supposed to be relaxing and not stressful; thus, don’t ruin this. All you need is a good shampoo along with some extra care, and your sensitive skinned dog can have a clean, happy coat.
