Best Dog Shampoos for Sensitive Skin

RSS

My sweet puppy Cookie used to suffer from itchy, dry, sensitive skin. With a few tweaks to her diet, water, and shampoo she was looking younger, smelling cleaner and her coat was luscious. Sensitive skin is something that many dogs suffer from. So I’ve decided to compile a short list of dog shampoo products that make the cut.

There are a few things that can change your dog’s comfortability such as its diet and food intake. Along with the kind of water your dog drinks. Moreover, the most important and often with instant relief for your dog is the shampoo we use to bathe them in. So what are the best dog shampoos for sensitive skin? With a market so full of ‘premium’ the ‘best’ with intriguing, even distracting product branding we needed to get to the bottom of this topic.

Grooming your dog is one thing, doing it right is another. One of the most important factors to consider in grooming your dog correctly is selecting the best shampoo. Yes, we all want our pups to smell clean but more importantly have a healthy coat.

Some pet owners use their own shampoo to bathe their dogs. We do not recommend humans to use our chemically engineered hair products for our canine friends. Others go for the cheapest cleaning agent they can find on the market. Often without considering how their dog will react to the ingredients listed on the back of the label.

The implications of using the wrong shampoo on your dog can be quite unpleasant. It could lead to itching, irritation and hot spots especially if your dog has sensitive skin.

So, to ease the search for you, we’ve scoured the web, and we present to you a list of the best dog shampoos for sensitive skin that is on the market today.

This first one is by far the best dog shampoo for sensitive skin that I’ve ever tried. It’s the one I use for Cookie!
