Dog allergy shampoo ingredients should contain items found in nature, not artificial ones like coloring, perfume or chemicals. Dogs with allergies generally have reactions to artificial components. To avoid allergic reactions, it's best to buy dog allergy shampoos found in organic aisles or natural food stores. However, some natural ingredients can also irritate a dog's skin.
Common Canine Skin Irritants
rtificial coloring, perfumes and deodorants remain the top three allergens in dog shampoos. Always check the label in order to avoid these items.
Dog allergy shampoo products that contain Aloe Vera are among the best at easing the itchy, red skin caused by an allergy. Some dogs, especially those with allergies to grass and pollen, may not handle Aloe Vera well. If the shampoo with Aloe isn't helping, stop using it and find something else.
Other potentially beneficial ingredients that also cause allergic reactions in some dogs are:
-
Eucalyptus
-
Lemon or orange extracts
-
Tea tree oil
Oatmeal is an Excellent Ingredient
Oatmeal shampoo products provide relief to dry itchy skin. Oatmeal is a great choice for pet owners who want to find relief for their pet. In addition, oatmeal shampoos with Vitamin E and Biotin help add moisture to dry skin and create a shiny coat.
