What can cause skin irritation in dogs?
When your dog is showing signs of skin irritation, there are factors other than a product’s ingredients (such as shampoo) you’ll want to take into consideration when trying to assess dog skin problems. First, a good diet is the key to healthy skin and coat. It’s important that your dog gets a balanced diet that provides sufficient calories to meet their daily needs for growth, activities and repair. Grooming comes next. In addition to identifying ingredients causing dog skin allergies, there are other causes of skin irritation. One is an easy fix: In many cases, some shampoo residue is left because it was not properly rinsed, which can irritate the skin. That’s why it’s really important that you rinse your dog well when you bath it.
