Well, I'm sorry I don't AGREE with you on this point..!! unless of course your an Expert on this subject!

If you used a skin cream which got RAVE reviews but it gave you a rash, would you still continue to use it?

Ty all I was not aware of the oatmeal shampoo. Sounds like a petsmart trip or the site corkie suggested.

I agree that bathing weekly is a good idea for dogs but it is really important to use an all natural brand of shampoo and conditioner. Most commercial brands have sulfates and other chemicals in them that strip the skin and coat even though they do have synthetic conditioners in them. Oatmeal is usually in such a small amount that it is really not effective in helping skin conditions. It's just another sales ploy to sell more product. Oatmeal actually helps dry skin anyway.

Yup, unfortunately oatmeal shampoo is contraindicated in allergy dogs - any Vet Derm will tell you this. You're doing the right thing by trying something else. If you like Amazon here are 2 that are good:

Amazon.com: SynergyLabs VF Clinical Care...
Amazon.com : Douxo Chlorhexidine PS + Climbazole... (SUPER expensive at the Vet's office - so get it here instead)
