Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Can you describe what is going on w/ the skin? It may need something more than a shampoo/conditioner change...I'm just speaking from dealing with a lot of skin issues this past year.

YT 500 Club Member | I agree, there may be an underlying reason for the sensative skin. I recently brought some Chris Christinson day-to-day for my two. Supposed to be gentlr enough to use every day. Seams o.k. so far. My two can get very muddy as they love running through puddles so sometimes need washing more than once a week. |

| It's allergies. He has been checked out by a vet. Any shampoo or conditioner that is colored or scented makes him itch. I have used Drs. Foster and Smith Itch Stop and it has helped the itching. I am just looking for possible other options for him. It's either that or he has to get allergy shots, which he hates but works. I had run out of the otehr stuff and am just wanting to try something a little different.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Maybe browse through this and see if anything looks to describe what may help? Shampoos We see a Vet Dermatologist and are now using Malaseb Shampoo for my boys. If you think that one looks right for you, get it instead at Amazon - the 12oz is only $15 including shipping.
