Skin and Coat

A glossy, healthy coat and shining clean skin are what every pet parent wants for their pet. Unfortunately, there are many things that can cause skin irritation in pets, and a dull coat is also often a sign of underlying disease or nutritional issues. PetScriptsDirect is pleased to offer a full line of treatments for dog skin infections.

Dog Skin Disease Symptoms

Skin disease in dogs is an irritating syndrome for both the pet parent and any dog with itchy skin. There are many different dog skin disease symptoms that range from itchy dog skin to simple dandruff. If your dog has dry skin, experiences hair loss or intense redness and scratching, you should visit your Veterinarian to examine your pet.

Nutritional Aids

One of the first areas to address with any skin or coat ailment is the underlying health of the pet. If your pet is suffering from a nutritional deficiency or if they have had their natural vitamin and mineral balance disrupted by an illness, supplements like Derm Caps or the 3V Caps can add Omega 3s to the diet to bring back that healthy shine. Fur will regain thickness and gloss, while the underlying skin cycle will repair itself, cutting down on itchy dog skin, scratching, dander and many cat and dog skin infections.

Medicated Shampoos

If your dog has dry skin and you are using human shampoos on your pets, you could be contributing to irritation and discomfort, as well as a shabby looking coat. Medicated shampoos made especially for pets can eliminate dog skin infections, dander and itching, providing effective itchy dog skin treatment and eliminating the need for many kinds of skin medication. Additionally, using a pet-friendly shampoo can have a dramatic effect on the look and feel of the coat of your dog.

Allergy Relief

Many pet medications are actually targeting allergic responses. Dog allergy medications such as Hyrdroxyzine and Atopica for dogs provide relief. Along with other products in our catalogue, they work to reduce the histamine response in your pets, so that they are less reactive to environmental irritants. Although many allergy relief solutions for pets are taken internally, they can reduce the swelling and irritation that mars an otherwise healthy skin and coat.

Flea and Tick Issues

A flea medicine for dogs can make it safe for you to play with your pet and dramatically reduce itching and scratching due to fleas and a flea allergy in dogs. They can be used with other skin soothing products, especially if your pet is known to have sensitive skin. However, you can be sure that a healthy coat will always look better when you know it is flea-free!
