Bathing a dog can be quite a challenge - especially if your pooch is not enthusiastic about this activity. In addition, if the dog has sensitive skin, prone to irritation and allergies - bathing with the use of inappropriate cosmetics can be associated with discomfort and increase undesirable symptoms.
Dry skin and irritation are common in dogs with sensitive skin, which can also be accompanied by itching and excessive scratching. In this case, it is extremely important to properly moisturize the skin and use products that are intended for animals with sensitive skin, prone to allergies and irritations.
Appropriate dog shampoos should be rich in emollients, which will not only lubricate dry skin, but will also protect the irritated epidermis - look for such products among those available on the market. The perfect shampoo will be effective and gentle on your dog's coat at the same time.
Be sure to pay attention to the composition of the shampoo - choose only one that does not contain SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), i.e. the so-called. surfactants responsible for the foaming of the cosmetic. In addition to producing foam, they have a strong drying effect and can additionally irritate the pet's delicate skin.
Dog skin has different needs and appropriate care should be chosen according to them. It is best to choose a hypoallergenic shampoo, created with the specific needs of the animal in mind.

Bathe your dog as often as necessary. The most important thing is that you use cosmetics specially designed for dogs to bathe your dog, which will not irritate the pet's delicate skin - even with frequent baths. Before buying, it is worth reading the labels to learn more.
Remember that not all breeds and not all pets like water and baths in the same way. The fact that your four-legged friend likes playing in the lake does not mean that he will approach the issue of hygiene procedures in the bathtub or paddling pool with equal enthusiasm. Therefore, it is always worth spending a lot of time on a possible bath, so as not to stress yourself and the animal with excessive haste.
If you anticipate that your pet may cause problems, make sure you have a second person to help. Make sure you bring your favorite treats or a special licking mat with a suction cup. Calmness and composure are the best methods to get your dog used to bathing.
Get your dog ready first. Thoroughly comb the coat and undercoat, get rid of tangles. Prepare all bath accessories (delicate shampoo with a neutral ph that will not irritate the skin and fur, a towel, a non-slip bath mat).
It is worth giving it up if the skin is damaged. Then you should wait until wounds and cuts heal (unless your veterinarian decides otherwise). Puppies that are still with their mother should not be washed. You can bathe your puppy if the situation requires it, but remember to use gentle cosmetics designed for puppies and kittens, such as Vet Expert Puppy Shampoo.
