His skin is really sensitive and nothing I try has seemed to work. We live in NC and his owners before us used to keep him outside. I bathe him once every week...is this too much?My dog has really bad dandruff...is there a good organic shampoo out there?
It sounds like, he needs a walking from the man in his house. that might do the trick.My dog has really bad dandruff...is there a good organic shampoo out there?
What is the problem about going to see the vet today. He has medicated sprays for this. One bath a month... Do not use the same soap. I have never had problem going to Wlmart and getting Suave --strawberry -- for 99 cents... It has a low PH level...If I use anthiing on me other than Suave---danderuff and itch.... Cheapest stuff in the store...
If you are not going to see the vet then get Bactine spray--better get more than one can...The pet store has stuff... If your going to let the dog suffer for three weeks give the dog to someone else.....
You shoudn't bathe him that often since that can cause his skin to dry out even more because the natural oils in the coat get washed out.
To stop him from itching you can buy something called Relief Spray. There are different kinds but I have found that the ones that are based on oats are the most effective.
This is the one my vet recomended
http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?鈥?/a>
Then I would deffinatly take him to the vet. It could be mange or any other subspeces (sp?) of mange or even hot spots.
Then I would give him a salmon oil supplement. The fatty acids will help the dandruff.
It might be a good idea to take him to the vet....it may not be dandruff. Dogs sometimes get ';mange';, skin red and flaking and they itch constantly...Best to double-check and make sure and not take any chances with your pet.
I wash my Yorkie once every week use Buddy Wash. It is organic.
Ingredients:
--------------------------------------鈥?br>
Coconut Shampoo Base, Aloe Vera Gel, Essence Of Lavender, Essence Of Mint, Chamomile Extract, Sage Extract, Nettle Extract, Rosemary Extract, Wheat Protein Extract (natural deodorizing agent), Tea Tree Oil, Vitamin E, Vitamin C
My rottie mix has the same problem. Sometimes bathing once a wk can be a problem, since dogs have natural oils that protect their skin (much like humans) and sometimes stripping those oils away too frequently can cause irritation, making the problem worse.
As far as shampoo, I use a banana oatmeal dog shampoo on Bosco, sometimes once a wk, sometimes every other wk, depending on how his skin is. It works pretty good, better than anything else I've tried, and he scratches and flakes a lot less than before. Good luck.
don't bathe him. If you're bathing that frequently then you're washing away his natural body oils, thus causing very dry skin. It willl only get worse if you continue baths that often. I highly recommend a food that is high in omega 3 %26amp; 6 and fish oil. If you want to stay on your current food you can purchase fish oil to add to his food, it'll help with skin and coat
you should bathe him once every 2-3 Weeks so his skin wont dry out...you can try shampoos with tea tree oil or oatmeal! Or ask your vet they have some really good shampoos might not smell great but it will work! I use oatmeal for my dog and it works pretty good but you have to keep in mind every dog is different and wont react the same to everything! hope this helps good luck!
Yes, once a week is too much. It depletes the skin and coat of natural oils needed to stay moisturized. Only bathe no more than once a month. I like Buddy Wash. It's organic and uses natural oils. The lavender and mint works good and also repells fleas. A good oatmeal shampoo would be great too.
Don't know if this will help you but I give my dogs olive or rape seed oil on their breakfast and I almost never bath them, only if they roll in something stinky. Their coats and skin are in fab condition. If I do need to bath them I do it outside with the hose pipe and use fairy washing up liquid
Perhaps you should shave him for a while and put lotion for sensitive skin on him.
Try head and shoulders, you can also try main and tail horse shampoo. If all else fails go to your nearest health food store, and ask them. They usually carrier things like that if it's a grocery type store.
My first question is - what are you feeding your dog?
One of our dogs is severely allergic to wheat and/or wheat gluten. Many dogs are allergic to corn and or wheat. The symptoms our dog exhibited were just like you are mentioning. It was almost like he was molting. A LOT of dandruff, it was almost like his skin was rotting off, he stunk, he had red itchy skin and none of this would be ';cured'; with a bath. In fact, one say after a bath he was in the same predictament. Lots of dandruff and lots of itching - it was like he had fleas.
Once we changed food - a food that contained neither wheat/wheat gluten or corn his symptoms cleared right up and he is ';normal';. I would check your food. That is an easy fix - elminate the allergen and the skin clears right up.
We use Tomlyn's milk bath shampoo (available at PetCo). It's gentle, has no dyes in it (which some dogs with sensative skin can have problems with) and doesn't overly suds up. If you don't remove/rinse all the suds after bathing, you can end up with the same skin issues.
Once a week is too much, I started this when I first had a pup but was recommended to give him a bath once every 2-3 weeks at most. You could try shampoos and conditioners with oatmeal. The vet could also prescribe some shampoos as my vet did for me. Good luck with your pet.
edit: for his itching now you could try to get some sprays with cortisol in it to stop itching, try some pet stores I'm sure they carry some type of product for this
Well, if his skin is red, then he could have some sort of flea/mange irritation that you would want to get checked out.
If that is not the problem, then first, stop bathing him every week. That is not good! Every time you shampoo him, he loses the nutrients in his fur which he needs. Bathe him every three weeks. If you are worried about him smelling, get some sort of a scent spray.
Second, the reason his skin is in poor condition is most likely his diet. I hope you are not feeding him any generic brand of food like Pedigree, Iams, etc. If you are, please research and get him a good premium dog food (Innova, Canidae).
Next, give him a raw egg in his food like once or twice a week, that will fix his coat. Also, make sure he gets some sor of vitamins daily, and add either Fish Oil or Flax Seed Oil to his diet.
This will fix everything!
Groomax Allergin Reducing Shampoo
Works great! you can get it at petsmart for $6.99 a bottle.
Don't wash your dog every week! Your making his skin condition worse. He only need a bath once a month (twice at most ever)
My scottie flakes too and also gets red patchy dry spots on his skin since he was a baby (hes 2 now). He may just need Omega 3 tablets (get at petsmart too or you can get it cheeper at the supermarket, the human stuff is the same thing). Its basically fish oil. For some reason some dogs can't produce a natural oil to their skin so they need suppliments. This should help!

Be careful their are many on the market. Most only have a small percentage of organic product in them also read the ingredient's label if their are any props or alcohols leave them alone they can be carcinogens.
You also need to find out what preservative they use.
You get what you pay for too in most cases the more expensive the better. I found the only products I can trust are made by and Australian company which has an online store and supply most western country's the web address is www.klenzu.com
Whole Foods or any natural organic store. it might be expensive but....... just type in organic health stores near your area and see what you get. :)

Where can you buy organic shampoo? & what is organic shampoo?
I was scooping around the internet for Tips on how to make your hair longer, and most people say they use organic shampoo. Where can you buy it at? Can you buy it at walmart? %26amp; what is it organic shampoo?Where can you buy organic shampoo? %26amp; what is organic shampoo?
Organic shampoos can be any shampoo because the FDA regulates body care products and does not have an organic program like the USDA. Therefore it is legal to call a body care product organic even though it may contain ingredients that would not be accepted under organic regulations (if they existed for such things). The Organic Consumers Association has a big campaign about this loophole in the organic world
http://www.organicconsumers.org
No shampoo will make you hair grow longer faster-that is a wives tale.Where can you buy organic shampoo? %26amp; what is organic shampoo?
Organix is not organic shampoo. Organic shampoo is one that has no chemicals in it and is made for 100% natural ingredients.
Giovanni is a good one that you can buy at most stores. others you usually have to go to a health food store to buy. Walmart doe sell giovanni so does target and others. They are good for the hair because they do not contain harsh chemicals that many have bad reactions to or try to avoid.
Yes you can buy some from walmart.
There are many brands. My favorite is Organix.
It isn't too expensive
and it made my hair feel so silky.
