Kyra Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Most of my dogs have skin problems and I'm just wondering what a good shampoo would be to use? Kyra & Tyson both get red itchy patches under their arms, Brodie gets red spots under his chin and my Shih Tzu gets a really horrible oily coat after about 2 days. :shakehead: Any recommendations would be good & also a rough cost and place to find it.. Thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Groomers Evening Primrose Oil shampoo - yes it works even on oily coats, removes the oils without stimulating the skin to go overboard in replacing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffi Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think you should look at their diets more. What are you feeding them? As far as shampoos are concerned I love Groomers EPO shampoo as well as Rufus & Coco one. ;) I don't like Aloveen at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springdog Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Baby Shampoo (neutral PH) works great on my boy who has very sensitive skin, I dilute the shampoo and rinse really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There conditioners are great also. I never just shampoo. I always condition as well. I am a groomer. Dogs can be allergic to wheat products, this is in a lot of commercial dog foods.

k9kutz Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Malaseb by dermcare. Use 2-3 a week on affected areas only, to save washing the whole dog, leave it on for 10 mins before rinsing, do the whole dog once a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Yes it is, but 2-3 times a week is Dermcare recommended on affected areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppymum Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Most of my dogs have skin problems and I'm just wondering what a good shampoo would be to use? Kyra & Tyson both get red itchy patches under their arms, Brodie gets red spots under his chin and my Shih Tzu gets a really horrible oily coat after about 2 days. :shakehead: Any recommendations would be good & also a rough cost and place to find it.. Thanks I get mine from http://www.petnetwork.com.au which have a huge range. You my want to try one of the puppy shampoos, as they are milder. I use the Kojo brand, which cost $16 for a bottle, but is diluted to make 5 litres, so lasts for ages. There is also a rinseless shampoo which is just sprayed into the coat, which might help with the oily Shih Tzu. I would find it strange that all the dogs are reacting to a shampoo, you may find either it is caused by something else, or it may be that the problem is that the shampoo is not being fully rinsed out. It is a good idea to dilute the shampoo & conditioner (most of the professional mixes give you a ratio to dilute) - you can buy bottles to mix them in to make the measurements easier. This makes it easier to spread the shampoo through the coat and to wash it out properly, as well as making the shampoo last a bit longer. Also how often are they being washed, as too frequent washing can also cause irritation, and can cause the skin to produce excess oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Malaseb is very drying. Unless the dog had mange or the like I would not be using it that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
