Treating Your Dog’s Skin Issues at Home
Let’s talk about your dog’s skin! Some pups face skin problems such as itching, redness, flakiness, hotspots, odor, or even hair loss, all caused by bacteria, fungi, and yeast. These issues will typically flare up between toes, in armpits, groin areas, ears, and between skin folds. Conditions like ringworm, yeast dermatitis, and bacterial folliculitis can impact your dog's quality of life if left untreated.
For pups prone to skin issues, a regular bathing routine is key. Here’s what you can use at home to keep your furry friend feeling comfy and looking their best:
- Medicated Shampoo: While regular dog shampoo helps with cleanliness, it may not be enough to tackle certain skin issues. That’s when we need to bring in a medicated formula like Keto-Dog Medicated Shampoo, which is made to combat the root cause of skin infections in dogs. With powerful active ingredients such as ketoconazole and chlorhexidine gluconate, it goes straight to the source, targeting the microorganisms responsible for bacteria, fungi, and yeast. Plus, it soothes inflamed skin and promotes healing with colloidal oatmeal. It is gentle enough for regular use yet tough enough to combat even the most stubborn infections.
- Ear Cleaner: For dogs with itchy, stinky, or inflamed ears, an ear cleaner like Ear Care Pro will be your go-to. Ear Care Pro is antibacterial and antiseptic to keep yeast, bacteria, and fungi at bay. Use it daily or before bath time to clean out your pup’s ears, leaving them soothed and smelling fresh.
- Specially Formulated Wipes: Medicated wipes, like Keto-Dog Wipes, are a convenient option for quick clean-ups between baths. Perfect for wiping between the toes, in armpits, groin areas, and skin folds daily, Keto-Dog Wipes have all the same great benefits as the shampoo but in a easy to use wipe form.
By adding a medicated shampoo, ear cleaner, and specially formulated wipes to your pup’s bath-time routine, you’re not just treating existing issues—you’re setting them up for a lifetime of healthy skin and happy tail wags. Remember to follow the instructions and always consult with your veterinarian if you have any concerns about your dog's skin health. With the right care and products, you can keep your furry friend's skin healthy and happy for years to come.
