Are CHI for Dogs shampoos safe for puppy hair loss or skin irritation?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If he is itchy at all then it could be due to allergies. It really comes down to figuring out what is causing his allergies so that they can be treated or the specific allergen avoided. There are many things that can cause allergies though in most cases they can be broken down into 3 big categories: flea, food and environmental allergies. Allergies are usually worked up in a stepwise fashion starting with flea allergies as this is the easiest and cheapest to take care of. If not on a flea preventative, then it would be a good idea to get started on one. If already on one then it would be a good idea to change to something else (there are many new products out in the market). If not improved in 1-3 months then it is time to move on and check for food allergies by switching to a novel diet (new protein and new carbohydrate). If that does not seem to be the issue then you are left out having to check for environmental allergies which require blood and/or skin tests. Allergies can be very frustrating to deal with at first but so rewarding at the end when we are able to treat them effectively!

I like this shampoo. It smells great! It is also high quality but inexpensive. Won't dry out her skin so you can use it as frequently as you'd like. Hope this helps! https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=114283

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As long as they aren't irritated by the products used and they aren't cut too close resulting in razor burn they shouldn't. I HAVE seen dogs present to the Vet with skin irritation after being groomed. It doesn't happen to ALL dogs though. Good luck!

Shampooing won't affect the giardia. I don't have a preference on shampoos, just as long as they are made for pets instead of humans to decrease risks of irritating the skin. Aloe or oatmeal ingredients are soothing to irritated skin.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are parts of the Aloe Vera plant that is toxic to animals. If the shampoo is made for dogs and cats it should be fine for puppies. If you are unsure then use an oatmeal based shampoo or just use Dawn dish soap. I hope this helps!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. No, I do not recommend using human shampoo on your dog. The pH is different between our skin and a dog's. This can cause irritation. I would use a moisturizing pet shampoo and conditioner such as an oatmeal or fatty acid based formula. I hope this information helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This appears to be one of the better ones I’ve seen. Other than the last ingredient (dye- probably in minuscule amounts since its last on the list), this product appears to be made entirely from plant extracts and I would indeed call it “natural”.
