Shampoo for dogs with itchy skin is a first line of defense against discomfort and irritation. These contain a number of different soothing ingredients like: 

• Oatmeal: Many dog shampoos to treat itching contain oatmeal, as it naturally calms and moisturizes skin. 
• Aloe vera: Much like aloe vera can be used to soothe sunburns, it can help soothe your dog’s skin, too. Aloe vera contains anti-inflammatory properties. 

Tea tree oil: This ingredient in shampoo for dogs with itchy skin contains antibacterial properties that may reduce itching and irritation.

There are a number of different conditions that may be making your dog’s skin itchy. Allergies can be a significant source of discomfort and irritation for dogs, whether from their environment, their food, or even fleas. Your dog’s itchy skin may also be caused by infections, like yeast infections. 

If your dog is suffering from itchy skin, the first step in treating it is to talk to a vet. They can help determine what is causing your dog’s itchy skin in order to start treating it. They may also be able to prescribe itching medicine for dogs or other treatments that may be able to help.

In short, it depends. Many of our dog shampoos are available over-the-counter and do not require a prescription. You may find, however, that the best shampoo for your dog with itchy skin is a prescription shampoo. These medicated shampoos contain stronger ingredients than an OTC shampoo. If your dog’s itchy skin is caused by a bacterial infection or other medical condition, it may require a medicated shampoo to treat the root issue.

As with any new product, it is possible that dog shampoo for itchy skin may cause a few side effects in your dog. Your dog may experience dry skin as a result of their new shampoo and in some cases the shampoo may itself cause irritation. In rare cases, dogs can have allergic reactions to their shampoo. If you’re concerned about side effects your dog is experiencing, talk to your vet. They can help you determine whether you should discontinue use of the shampoo.
