| I would ask your groomer to use a different shampoo. I bet the one she is using is causing the itch. Good Luck!

| Sometimes the clippers they use when they shave certain areas real short can cause them to itch also. There are sooo many factors that could cause this. You might try taking in your own shampoo/conditioner for your groomer to use and see if this works. If Dega is still scratching after the grooming appt. then you know it's not the shampoo. They also spray the cologne, this might be the culprit?? Or the water even...As I said, it could be a number of things. Also, if you have tried everything, maybe try a new vet and see if Dega still continues this problem. Good luck.

| I take mine for grooming about once a month and have not had this problem, so there are several possible causes, as mentioned. However, there is a product I got from my vet when Lacey had a bumpy private area and tummy called Allermyl, it's a spray on lotion that is by Virbac. After a couple of sprays, she did not itch and the bumps were gone. You might try it. |

| My sami has been an itchy baby since I first brought him home! I have tried alot of different shampoos and conditioners and he still is scratching. my vet recommended veterinarian's Best Tee tree oil w/aloe itch spray and shampoo and conditioner veterinarian's formula oatmeat tea tree infuser shampoo & the Vet oatmeal protein conditioner, when I bath him with these products it does help him alot and when I towel dry him I spray him with the tea tree spray and that really gives him a break and soothes his coat and makes his hair very soft and shiny. My(vet )told me not to blow dry him because of his dry skin because that will only dry his skin and cause him to scratch more, so while I am bathing him I have a large fluffy towel in the dryer warming up so when I dry him off with the first towel I then remove him out of that one and wrap him into a warm one and continue to pat him dry. Then I spray him with the the itch spray which smells pretty good by the way theses products do help and work but only a few days I dont believe anything will ever stop their dry skin we just have to treat it and try products that will help make them comfortable. SO when your baby comes home from the groomer the blowdryer might just be causing him to itch? My groomer only uses the dryer on tilly and she wraps sami in his towel sits him in the grate to dry, and while he is drying she grooms tilly and by the time shes done with tilly sami is ready for his groom. but try the produts they will help! |
