Grooming products for my sensitive boy ? My poor baby has such sensitive skin . Just when I think I have found the right thing he starts getting itchy again . I am pretty sure it is caused by the grooming products because when I don't use it again the itching stops . I can't seem to find the right thing . This morning I gave him a nice rinse with warm water & apple cider vinegar and it was instant relief . Now what ? |
If he has ongoing sensitive skin, then I'd be more likely to think this is due to enviro allergies. Does he chew or lick his paws? |

Yeah , I thought about that . He does not seem too chew his feet though . Do you think Benadryl would help ? |
We use benadryl on our bully for itchy feet and it works. The only problem with it is its life is so short and we'd have to give it every 4-6 hours. It left us with a very sluggish dog...she's lazy anyway though;). What type of grooming products do you use? We have to use ones with no added perfumes/dyes on our allergy prone dog. |

Thank you . I will try the Benadryl .. I tried several different brands . I will have to find a hypoallergenic one with no perfume at all .. For grooming spray I am going to use plain water with few drops of vitamin e oil .. |
Earthbath's line was recommended by our vet and works great! We use Earthbath Clear Advantages since it doesn't remove flea meds and has aloe vera. |

Thank you , I will check that out .. |
How much benadryl would you give to a 5lb yorkie. Mine scratches but not alot but he does licks his front paws alot. I check them tonbr sure nothing is in them to annoy him and never find anything |

I haven't tried these yet, but the apple cider vinegar or diatomaceous earth bars sound good for sensitive pups Sparkle Bar Shampoo Bars | The Honest Kitchen |

Ok , thank you . He seems to fine now after the vinegar rinse so I am thinking it is just the ingredients in the grooming stuff I was using . I will keep an eye on him though . Thanks for clarifying the Benadryl thing . I was not sure if we were allowed to give out dosage info for that . |
Im no where near as experienced as the people before me, but I always wash my two with Johnsons Baby Shampoo & they seem to be grand. |
