I give him his bathe and it seems like many of these brands do nothing but make him want to itch more and more.Does anyone know of a good dog shampoo that works. Many I try seem to make my dog itch more?
To be honest, don't bath your dog unless you have to. Dog's are not like humans and do not need to be bathed every week. In fact it's bad for them and their coats, skin etc. If they have rolled in something disgusting (as dogs do) then OK but otherwise as long as they get a good brush out a couple of times a week, only bath them once a month at most in fact less if possible.Does anyone know of a good dog shampoo that works. Many I try seem to make my dog itch more?
well, it seems to be a good question for your VETERINARIAN....????
this is where your vet comes in, your dog may need to have a prescription shampoo; when you go take in ALL of the shampoos you have tried on your pet to show the vet how many you've tried on your own before going in to get his help.
How often do you bathe him? Every 1-3 Months is good.
Have a professional groomer give your dog a bath. They have access to dog shampoos that the average person does not.
How often are you giving your dog a bath? Could be too often.

We have a shih tsu dog with a rash our groomer discovered? She said it was from a chemical in a dog shampoo?
What is this rash? The groomer said to switch shampoos and it would go away with time. So we did, and it's slowly going away. We got him from the pound and he didn't have the rash when we first got him. 2 days ago he had his second visit to the groomers and most of the rash was gone, except she discovered a large sore under his chin. What is this? Can it be from a chemical in Hertz Dog Shampoo?We have a shih tsu dog with a rash our groomer discovered? She said it was from a chemical in a dog shampoo?
It could be a chemical in the shampoo, it could be a food allergy or any other allergic reaction to something. You first described this as a rash, now you say it is a large sore. The rash may be related to the sore, or it could be something entirely different. Personally I would take him to the vet to see what it may or may not be.We have a shih tsu dog with a rash our groomer discovered? She said it was from a chemical in a dog shampoo?
The dark side of Dog shampoo ingredients is when they consist of things like fragrances, deodorants, colors and other unnatural additives. These ingredients can quickly cause irritation and should be avoided in dog shampoo. A hypoallergenic dog shampoo should not contain any unnatural substances as mentioned above. You may have to pay a little more for quality but it鈥檚 definitely worth it!
There are some natural Dog shampoo ingredients that are quite effective. These include aloe vera, tea tree oil and citrus and eucalyptus extracts. Beware though, some of these can cause irritation despite the fact they are all natural as they are potential allergens.
As a rule of thumb I dont use anything that contains sodium lauryl/ laureth sulfate or aluminum lauryl/ laureth sulfate. If you look around the web you'll find its in everything. I avoid it like the crazy. Its in everything we use and I wouldn't be surprised if it was in dog shampoo too.
I suggest going USDA certified organic.
Your best and safest bet is to take your dog to the doctor. You need a proper diagnosis. If it is something worse you will end up paying far more money if you don't deal with it now. This breed is notorious for having skin allergies. The vet can run a test and tell you everything he is allergic to so you know what to avoid with him. Saves much money in vet bills in the future.
it chould be from the Hartz.. Hartz is a terrible product to use.. many animals have had severe reactions and even died after using hartz products.
It could also be an allergic reaction to something else, or even some other skin irritation or infection, best to have the vet examine it.
Could be the shampoo but my dog has the same problem,hers is diet we have just about eliminated everything else.Same breed 8 years old just started this past year.Good luck finding the cause.My vet doesn't know for sure but that's his guess.
These are questions for a vet. It sounds like a simple allergic reaction. Dogs are just like people. Some of them have sensitive skin just like some of us do. The sore is probably for constant scratching but he needs to see a vet.
sounds like something you should ask your vet, not your groomer.myspace.com profile

I gave my dog a bath and now he is itching himself and sneezing like crazy, is it from the dog shampoo?
Should I get different shampoo? Also, is this why he has so much dandriff?I gave my dog a bath and now he is itching himself and sneezing like crazy, is it from the dog shampoo?
What did yo use. Human shampoo, flea tick shampoo is extremity harsh especially Harts or Sargent's/ Bath her again with a good DOG oatmeal Sampo or mellaluca oil shampooI gave my dog a bath and now he is itching himself and sneezing like crazy, is it from the dog shampoo?
You have to rinse several times, any soap residu on the skin will make the dog very very itchy.
The more you bathe a dog, the drier the coat gets because you're stripping oils out of it.
I would either find a website or a book about canine dermatology, rather than seeking such information from a casual chat site like YA.
maybe hes allergic to it when he gets over it and you have to bathe him again see if he does the same thing again and if so then ask your vet what shampoo you should use on yout dog
possibly. wash it off of it as soon as you can. try oatmeal shampoo, its good for the skin.
wash him off, don't put anything else on him, but rinse him again and make sure you get it all out.
Could be. Try oatmeal shampoo.
Probably from the shampoo. I use Seltzen Blue dandruff shampoo on my Cocker Spaniel, and it seems to have cures most of his itching. Plus, dogs like to smell like dogs, the shampoo makes him smell like a human, and by rubbing himself, he is trying to restore the dog smell.

Any good dog shampoo out there?
I have a Labrador who needs a shower! I have been using Zodiac and John Paul but ive noticed his coat has gotten very dull and flaky. Im looking for a shampoo with natural ingredients that will make my little guys coat shiny and healthy. Any suggestion? Thanks everyone!Any good dog shampoo out there?
A shiny, healthy coat will come from feeding him a top quality food rather than whichever shampoo you use.
Try an oatmeal shampoo because it's not harsh on the coat or skin.Any good dog shampoo out there?
Ive used Aveeno on my dog before and it helped.
Oatmeal shampoo.
I bathe my dogs with baby shampoo. If it gets in their eyes it doesn't sting, and it's very gentle.
give him cod liver oil it will make his hair shiny and his skin healthy

Is it okay to bathe your kitty with dog shampoo?
My cat was covered in turd this morning and had a bloody eye, dont have a clue how it happened, so i bathed her in puppy shampoo.. was that okay or will she get a skin irritation from it?Is it okay to bathe your kitty with dog shampoo?
I'm going to assume that you were just cleaning her up before taking her to the vet as any injuries to the eye should be considered seriously. My neighbor once had a cat come in with a bleeding eye. She waited to take it to the vet and the eye got infected. The infection traveled into the ear canal of the cat and caused permanent damage there. The damage in the ear made her lose her sense of balance and she never fully recovered. (She's still very tippy and leans to one side when she walks).
My vet prescribed us a pet shampoo that says on the bottle that its good for cats, dogs, bunnies and horses, so I don't think it should be too bad. My cat never got any irritations from it so I think its possible for shampoos to be multi-purpose. To be safe just don't use it again and make sure you rinse your kitty really well. It may just be that they just market the product towards dogs, not really believing that many people will bathe their cats but there's no way be able to tell. Keep an eye on your cat and ask you vet. (bring the bottle with). Buy a proper kitten shampoo and bathe your cat with it to get rid of anything that might be too doggy.Is it okay to bathe your kitty with dog shampoo?
You need to be more responsible with your animals. If your animal is bleeding, ESPECIALLY from the eye it should be taken to a vet immediately. You also should not be using dog products on a cat! Especially a kitten. You need to give up your animal to someone who will take care of it properly rather then let it live with you and suffer. There are plenty of shelter who will take it. Giving your cat away is free and can be done anonymously.
Bring your cat to the veterinarian immediately. the bloody eye could lead to very serious infection. And you should not bathe your cat at all, because cats clean themselves by licking themselves, and they don't need shampoo to help them with that. It depends what brand the dog shampoo is, but using that might irritate the eyes even More. Bring your kitty to the local veterinarian. The longer you wait, the more she will need it. Hope this helps!
Never wash a cat with dog/puppy shampoo. Check the bottle and see if ';tea tree oil'; is in there. Cats can get sick and even die if that ingredient is in the shampoo.
Since it was puppy, it may be ok, but next time either use a mild baby shampoo or just have kitten/cat shampoo on hand.
If the kitten has not been to the vet for the eye problem, get him/her in there now.
You should go see a vet with that. A bloody eye can lead to a serious infection! The shampoo may've taken care of the crap all over him (or her), but the eye is something you should worry about.
Alot of animal deaths are caused by infections of some kind, and the most common infections are from wounds that haven't been trated correctly!
I wish you the best
Yes there is a possibility of skin irration but also kitten shampoo is made specifically for kittens because of the way that they lick to clean themselves. I would not use dog shampoo on a cat for this reason. You should get her eye checked.
No way!!! you are crazy if you do that. If it says DOG then it means its made for dogs skin and fur.
And yes, get him/her to the vet if she's bleeding, honestly, you could be resonsible for a very poorly kitty later.

What dog shampoo would you recommend?
I have a shih tzu and i want a good shampoo nothing that would dry his hair out? His all black hair if it matters.
Also I know the best way to keep his coat healhy is diet and all that....but im asking about shampoos.What dog shampoo would you recommend?
use and oatmeal shampoo with baking soda which they sell at petsmart and use an conditioner after the shampoo and sometimes use a whiteing shampoo its not made sepcific for white hair its best used to keep a bright and healty coat your your dog. and please brush and comb his hair everyday and dont leave clothing on his for a long time these are things that can cause your dog to be shaved its there not done it keeps him from getting mattedWhat dog shampoo would you recommend?
Earth Bath. They're products are all natural with not chemicals, and they smell good :). Plus you can buy it at petsmart. Reasonable price too. I use the puppy shampoo on my chi because its tear free and she wiggles in the bath. And I use the anti-itch kind on my english bully for her allergies and its the only thing that has made a dent in her itching.
Its a great product and I highly reccomend it.
You can try Neem Soap. I know this is not a shampoo but it works really well. It is hypoallergenic and is great at keeping bugs away from your dog whilst making their fur nice and shiny too. I got mine online: http://www.petwellbeing.com/dog-natural-soap-p79.cfm
The one that you buy from the vet.
But I recently have tried 3M Pet care, and I like it. One of my dogs has sevsitive skin and this one doesnt bother her.
It has Vitamin E and Aloe Vera in it! Good stuff!
I use pet head it decrease the smell of the dog and it makes there coat nice and soft
http://www.petheadshop.com/
Honestly, Dawn %26amp; Joy dish soap works to kill fleas on animals. But to keep your dog's fur coat healthy you should use the dog oatmeal shampoo. It is really good for it :)
You could ask you're vet or go look arround in a petstore but honestly you're shampoo (and yes even condatiner) will work fine.... little kid shampoo is the best like the tear-free kind
Oatmeal
Any good dog shampoo will work...

What is an inexpensive dog shampoo that smells really good?
I love the CrazyDog brand. They have a variety of smells but I think wild cherry or green apple are the best. They also have sprays for inbetween baths. Human shampoo is much harsher than dog versions. It will dry out their skin and make them itchy. Don't bathe frequently, it's not nessesary. Once every couple months if your dog is always really dirty.What is an inexpensive dog shampoo that smells really good?
there are a variety of them,just go to ';Petsmart'; I'm sure they will have everything you will need at reasonable prices.What is an inexpensive dog shampoo that smells really good?
You can use your own shampoo on your dog. You may have to lather twice cause of the oils on the skin and coat. But if you like the smell of yours use it on your dog.
There are also pet perfumes you can get at pet stores, The one that my customers liked best on their dogs is put out by Lambert Kay and is called Fresh-n-Clean.
pawluxury from wal mart!!
My cat bathes in our toilet so i don't know if I am the right person to answer this question.
I use Bio Groom brand. It is Natural Oatmeal Anti Itch Shampoo. It smells really good.
i usually use my shampoo..................
Johnson's baby shampoo! It's gentle on their skin and smells wonderful!
Target now has dog shampoo out that smelly REALLY GOOD. They have different sents like Cucumber Melon, Berry, and Lavander. They cater to the type of skin your dog has like oily, dry, or flea removal. We bought the Cucumber Melon which makes our dogs smell really good.
