| My baby is really itchy! I think I may have may dried his skin out and I feel terrible. I bought these grooming wipes - Earthbath All Natural Puppy Grooming Wipes - Earthbath All Natural Puppy Grooming Wipes at PETCO And ususally would wipe him down every night and then finish with Finishing Touch moisturizing spray. but today yesterday the doc gave me this thing called groom-aid (its like a Deodorant) and I used it and today he is scratching like crazy! I am going to assume that its the deodorant, but now Im not sure. What should I do??? |

| the groom aid has alcohol; read the back of the can; always read the ingredient; please don't use it; not only makes your puppy itchy and dry; but the skin can absorb the alcohol; which overtime is harmfull to the kidneys and liver; instead use a small rag or towel and wet it with water and wipe the puppy; you can add a small amount of hypoallegenic soap or aveno baby shampoo or wash; and then get another towel with just water to rinse the soap off. that is best for the skin. don't use the wipes and the spray; no need to wipe the dog everynight. just give baths every 2 weeks or so
