Pet Skin Doctor

Just as people’s skin tends to dry out in the colder winter months, your dog’s skin can also become chapped and irritated.  Recognizing when your dog has dry skin isn’t all that difficult; you might find red spots on their skin, or notice that their skin seems to be flaking.  Treatment for dog dry skin usually includes the application of a topical moisturizer, but in many cases those skin products intended for people won’t work as well, and some can serve to irritate the skin more.  There is special skin therapy formulated for use on a dog’s dry skin that can be bought in pet stores; this treatment can also be used to relieve other skin conditions due to allergies or even dermatitis.

Your dog is sure to be thankful if you prevent the constant itching, biting, and scratching they go through due to dry skin, and all owners know you can’t put a price on the wag of their tail!
