In reply to Sue Alexander. Hi Sue. I'm guessing you've tried a dog shampoo that contains miconazole and left it on for the required 10 minutes? If so then there may be a better way to manage the problem, such as by treating the underlying skin allergy.

In reply to Shan. Hi Shan. I haven’t used it personally, but I might try it next time – a good clue that a shampoo is a decent one is that a dog will be less itchy afterwards

Hi,
We hike a LOT and go camping pretty frequently so dog bathing seems necessary just for cleanliness. We have a lot of Burt’s bees oat shampoo and conditioner for dogs. Would you consider that an okay weekly shampoo?

My dog was itchy and I wanted something to relieve her other than just cytopoint (which I of course will always pay for and give her if she seems too itchy). I began using a human shampoo and conditioner called moo goo which is recommended for cancer patients as it is so gentle. It really helped her itching and skin and she smells so good. I know human shampoos are a no go but even expensive pet shampoos left her coat and skin dry. She’s a senior rescue cattle dog and I just want her to be comfortable after her hard life.

Thank you for the time and effort you put in every week to bring us informative articles.
I’m sure many dogs will truly appreciate you sharing your experience.
I love the way you are able to question what you have done for years- what you were taught as absolute fact. Sadly not many “learned people” have the courage to do that.
On behalf of many dogs and their caring, loving owners say I thank you!
PS It’s still a work in progress but, after following your advice, I am definitely seeing an improvement in the attitude of my Sydney Silky towards the other two – one adolescent male Pom/chihuahua cross and a female chihuahua puppy.

As the relieved owner of Tiffy (mentioned in this blog) I am pleased to report that she has been a much happier dog since I started bathing her with Dermcare. She needed three baths for the first week, then two for the next couple of weeks and now I only need to bath her once every month or so. She has stopped itching her stomach red raw and only bites at her paws occasionally. It will be interesting to see how she fares through spring with allergens, but bathing seems to have done the trick for now. A simple remedy with an impressive outcome. Thanks so much, Andrew.
