Skin is not only the largest organ of the
body, it is a site of primary allergic responses in dogs and cats. Bacterial or
fungal invaders contribute to the odor and the scratching. Different breeds have
different skin and haircoat characteristics - flaky, oily, dry or sensitive. We
can guide you to the best product combinations for your particular pet.
Medicated, antiparasitic, hypoallergenic, or soapless shampoos can be followed
up with conditioning rinses. Moisturizing sprays or light colognes are warranted
by some. The entire animal can be soothed with oral fatty acid supplementation,
or a smaller, localized "hot spot" treatment may be indicated by
others. Ear cleaning should also be part of any canine skincare regime.
Allergies not only affect pets, but pet allergies can affect owners! Antidander
formulations reduce human discomfort from pet related sensitivities. Available
product lines include; DVM, VPL, Virabac, Animal Pharmaceuticals, EVSCO,
Allerpet and Allergroom.
