Why is my dog's skin flaky, red, and sore after hot weather?

It could be a reaction from the flea and tick shampoo. That can be harsh on the skin and cause reactions. Because Bentley's skin is really hot and he's red all over, I would have him seen by a vet right away. I think he should be evaluated by a vet so he can be treated. Please take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.

It is possible that the underlying cause may be allergic skin disease and long term management may be required with medication, specialist shampoos for yeast and bacteria which are common in itchy/damaged skin and specialist diets and supplements such as viacutan. Allergies are possible to airborne pollen even in urban areas as well as foods and dust mites etc and cannot be ruled out in any location

Boomer's coat changes could be related to underlying endocrine/metabolic disorders (hypothyroidism or Cushing's disease), allergies, seborrhea, among others. Watch closely to determine if you have noticed any changes in Boomer's water consumption, urine frequency and volume, appetite and energy level. Any of these changes can help your vet determine if he has an underlying condition. Boomer should see his vet for an exam and possible blood and skin testing to determine the cause of his changes so that appropriate treatment can be started.

Hi. It looks like Jack has a bit of pyoderma or skin infection on his belly. It may be a hypersensitivity reaction to insect bites or contact allergy or he may have a mild bacterial infection. Dogs that swim a lot in ponds or creeks may get this. If this is his only sign and he is not painful or itchy then bathing with a mild antibacterial shampoo may clear it up. If it's bothering him or seems to spread or get worse I recommend taking him into the vet.

It looks like Donut may have a skin infection. That could be caused by bacteria or fungus, and is often secondary to allergies. If it's not getting better within a couple days I would take him to your vet as he may need a medicated shampoo or oral medications to heal it.

This is probably caused by an allergic reaction. first of all make sure you de-flea Ace regularly every month with a high quality spot on (ex. Advantage) as fleas are by far the most common reason for these reactions. If the fleas are not the problem, it could be an allergic reaction to food or an environmental factor. this is more complicated to treat and will sometimes require medications such as Steroids, anti histamines or Apoquel in order to stop the allergy.

That area of Albie looks inflamed! If he did not have these lesions yesterday, it may be a reaction to the shampoo. Rewash him in a hypoallergenic shampoo and rinse him very well. Over the counter antihistamines may also help the itching. You may also consider taking him to the veterinarian's office as they will have stronger medications that will work faster to make the itching go away. I hope Albie gets comfortable fast!
