Have an Itchy Dog? Consider These Grooming Tips Before Turning To Chemical Treatments

by: Alexandra DeBoer

Many dogs today suffer from itchy skin caused by a variety of factors. Dogs actually have more sensitive skin than humans, and are often exposed to a variety of irritants in their environment. These grooming tips may help alleviate your dog?s constant itching.
Brushing your dog daily will remove pollens, grasses, and other outdoor irritants as well as stimulating the skin?s circulation and preventing matting. Brush carefully and down to the skin, taking care not to tug on tangles, and using a soft bristle brush on sensitive areas.
Bathing should also be done on a monthly basis, following a thorough brushing. Use a natural, low lather, low irritant shampoo, wet your dog down thoroughly with lukewarm water, and apply the shampoo using your hands. Avoid getting water or shampoo in his eyes and ears, and lather all over, right down to his skin, then rinse thoroughly. Shampoo residue is a major cause of skin irritation for dogs. After rinsing, towel dry your dog, and avoid using any coat finishers or blow dryers, which can also cause skin irritation in a sensitive dog.
Grooming is essential for a dog?s skin health, helps you identify skin problems early on, and is a great way for you to bond with your dog as well!
