Dog Shampoo 101

There is a bewildering selection of human shampoos on the market and new dog shampoos are appearing almost as rapidly. This vast array of choices can make it difficult to select the best shampoo to meet your dog’s needs.
 
To Choose a Good Dog Shampoo:
Consider Your Dog's Skin Type. 
Does your dog have dry, oily or normal skin?  Chances are that you'll find one to meet your dog's needs.
 
Opt for an All Natural Shampoo.
Some of the synthetic ingredients in shampoo can be skin irritants.  The rule of thumb:  You should be able to easily pronounce all the ingredients and know what they are.
 
Consider Flea and Tick Season.
If your dog has a serious flea and tick problem, you may want to consider a shampoo containing pyrethrins. Unfortunately, this ingredient is not generally found in all natural dog shampoos. If you select a product containing this ingredient, be sure to avoid getting it in your dog’s mouth and eyes during his bath. This ingredient can be toxic to your dog at high concentrations.
 
Does Your Dog have Sensitive Skin?
If your dog has itchy, irritated skin, two ingredients to look for are aloe vera and oatmeal. If these ingredients don’t solve the problem, you may want to consider a medicated shampoo with a low dose of hydro cortisone to treat the irritation. Try to avoid dog shampoos with a lot of synthetic ingredients since they can aggravate.
