Hypoallergenic dog shampoo for your Weimaraner? Isn’t that just for prissy little lap dogs? Well, maybe.

The truth is that there are some Weimaraners who should be using hypoallergenic shampoo.  Weimaraners are strong, active outside dogs who love to romp in outdoor areas.  They also tend to abuse their coats and skin.

In addition, Weimaraners tend to have sensitive skin.

Their sensitivity can be due to a number of environmental issues.  Or your dog might just come home after a run with scratches, bruises, and irritation from allergens.

Your dog could be allergic or sensitive to a number of things:

  • Detergents
  • Ingredients in dog shampoos, including dyes or perfumes
  • Disinfectants that you use in cleaning
  • Pollen
  • Ingredients in dog foods or treats

Why Use Hypoallergenic Dog Shampoo?

One way to tell if your dog needs to use hypoallergenic dog shampoo is to observe her. Is she scratching all the time?  Have you noticed dog dandruff or dry, flaky skin or hair loss? Does your dog have any hot spots?  If so, she may need to use a hypoallergenic shampoo for dogs.

Hypoallergenic shampoo has been proven to soothe and relieve itching for a Weimaraner who suffers from dog skin allergies–or just from dryness due to low humidity in the winter.

Hypoallergenic dog shampoo can effectively prevent skin irritation.  And the shampoo moisturizes dry flaky skin caused by allergies.

Especially if you have a sensitive dog, use only scentless dog shampoos or shampoos with natural scents,  Unnatural scents or chemicals can actually cause irritation to your dog’s skin.

Look for Natural Ingredients

Ingredients that are soothing and helpful for skin conditions include:

  • Oatmeal
  • Coconut oil
  • Calendula
  • Aloe vera
  • Comfrey
  • Shea butter

In addition, you should never use shampoos intended for humans (even hypoallergenic shampoos) on your dog. Human shampoos contain harmful ingredients that may cause damage to your dog’s coat or irritate her skin.

These shampoos are effective and popular with dog owners and groomers:

I’m glad you’re here!

Never without a dog or two in my life, I have always had a love for dogs of all breeds.
