What are the best gentle shampoo brands for a pit bull puppy?

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

Bathing your dog weekly may be too excessive and can lead to dry skin and itchiness. I would recommend bathing no more than one to two times a month. Most pet stores carry dog safe brands of pet shampoo. Most brands are just fine to use on Rocky.

So sorry, I don't think we have any experts from your region of the world. That makes it hard for us to make any recommendations as we do not know what you have access to there. If Bella is having no issues with her skin or coat, you can always use a baby shampoo for humans. That will be your best bet at something gentle. Cruelty free, I'm not sure, you will just have to research the baby shampoo products in your area. Hope this helps. If you have more questions please feel free to post again.

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.

Baby shampoos do tend to be fairly gentle for puppies, but any dog can be sensitive to any shampoo and it’s possible that it caused irritation or dried his skin out more. You may want to see if your vet carries a dog specific shampoo like Dermallay or HyLyt. It is common for young puppies to have dryer skin and act itchy, and most outgrow it within a few months. If he has developed skin wounds I’d recommend rechecking with your vet to make sure he doesn’t have a skin infection or parasites that weren’t obvious on his previous exam.

A gentle baby soap should be ok to use if that is all you have. Just use a small amount and make sure to rinse it off. Keep him in a warm place until he is dry. You should get a gentle dog shampoo for future use.

I love HyLyte shampoo. It’s hypoallergenic and doesn’t dry out the coat. It also smells good. Brushing daily will reduce the shedding also. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Winston Bruiser.
