]]> Comment on Itchy Dog! by Robyn Scott http://pupculture.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/itchy-dog/#comment-45 Robyn Scott Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:25:14 +0000 http://pupculture.wordpress.com/?p=129#comment-45 There are many pet owners who find that their pooches are suffering from one skin problem to the other. Many people don't think about this, because when we look at our four legged friends, all we see is fur. However, under that fur, your dog's skin can be just as sensitive as our skin, or even more sensitive. Some of the common problems that owners will see are itchy or irritated skin, dry skin and scaling, and even redness or bumps. There are many things that you can try that will help you avoid an unnecessary and expensive trip to the veterinarian. The first thing you can do is evaluate the shampoo you're using for your dog. If you normally bathe him in a flea shampoo, this may be the cause of the problem. Flea shampoo is harsh on your dog's skin, and unless there is a real flea problem, it should only be used once a month or so. Instead of using this, try using a flea collar or get him to eat an herb which repels fleas. You can switch to a regular shampoo for him as well. A great option is to use a soothing and gentle shampoo with oatmeal which can help dry skin. Some people even use baby shampoo for their dogs because it smells great and is so gentle. Shea Butter is amazing for any of the conditions that might be making your dog miserable. It contains vitamins A and E which help soothe and heal your pup's skin. It also contains great essential fats and acids that help keep skin soft and hydrated. Cinnamic acid is also found in organic Shea Butter, and it is a natural sun screen. All you have to do is rub a generous amount of Shea Butter on your dogs skin, and make sure that you get it through the fur and on the skin. This will provide a protective barrier for your dog.
