If your Yorkie has "skin issues", I would ask your vet to recommend a good medicated shampoo. We had to get a prescription shampoo years ago for our old dog when he developed crusty skin sores from kidney problems, poor guy.
You did not say what skin problems he/she has in your email. Your dog may need mild shampoos that don't dry out his skin. The local dog groomer uses a shampoo with oatmeal and other gentle cleansing ingredients, but I do Taffy's hair at home too. (See my posted note above about these products.)
I remembered our vet and breeder saying not to use "human shampoos"; they could strip the moisture from a doggie's skin and hair. Also, some human shampoos contain chemicals & fragrances that could be irritating to a dog's skin. |
