Frequently Asked Questions about Dog Skin Care Products

What dog skin care products do I need for my new dog?

Some dog skin care products you might need for your new dog include a dog shampoo, a dog conditioner, nose and paw balm, and a topical spray if your dog is prone to itching or hot spots. Antiseptic and antifungal sprays and creams may also be necessary if your dog suffers from bacterial or fungal skin ailments. There are also many supplements made to promote healthy skin in dogs, and dog sunscreens for canines who spend a lot of time outdoors. Your vet or groomer can advise you on properly caring for your dog's skin and suggest some helpful and effective dog skin care products.

What can I put on my dog for hot spots?

You can put a variety of topical remedies on your dog for hot spots. If your dog has hot spots due to itching, an anti-itch and anti-inflammatory spray can help soothe the area and prevent further damage. For hot spot wounds, clean and disinfect the area by using a dog-safe antiseptic like chlorhexidine. Bitter spray or an Elizabethan collar can be used to help stop your dog from licking and biting the affected area, too. Of course, identifying the underlying cause of hot spots is key to keeping them at bay, so see your vet at the first sign of any skin issue. Your vet may prescribe a flea medication or allergy diet or give you special grooming instructions to root out the cause and help your dog feel better.

Are there dog skin care products for cracked noses and paws?

There are many dog skin care products for cracked noses and paws! Products like paw butter, nose balm, snout balm, paw protectant and more help protect and heal cracked, irritated and sore snouts and paw pads. Use them to help repair skin damage in these sensitive areas or as a defense to prevent damage in the first place.
