    Frequently Asked Questions


    What is the best shampoo for dogs with sensitive skin?

    Dogs with sensitive skin benefit most from hypoallergenic shampoos that are free from fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals. Look for formulas with soothing ingredients like oatmeal, aloe vera, or coconut oil. These calm irritations, and help restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier. At PetPawsRx, we offer several gentle shampoos specifically designed for sensitive skin and vet-approved for regular use.


    Can I use human shampoo on my dog?

    It’s best to avoid using human shampoo on your dog. A dog’s skin has a different pH balance than ours, and human shampoos can disrupt that balance, leading to dryness, irritation, or even infections. Dog shampoos are specially formulated to protect their delicate skin and coat while keeping them clean and comfortable.


    How often should I bathe my dog with shampoo?

    Bathing frequency depends on your dog’s breed, coat type, skin condition, and lifestyle. On average, once every 4–6 weeks is sufficient for most dogs. Dogs with oily skin, allergies, or skin conditions may need more frequent baths with a vet-recommended shampoo. Always consult your veterinarian if you're unsure about the right bathing schedule for your dog.


    What shampoo is best for dogs with allergies?

    For dogs with environmental or food-related allergies, look for shampoos labeled as hypoallergenic, anti-itch, or medicated. Ingredients like oatmeal, tea tree oil (in safe concentrations), and hydrocortisone can provide relief from itching and inflammation. Prescription-strength shampoos may also be necessary in more severe cases—and PetPawsRx makes it easy to order those with vet authorization.


    What is a good flea and tick shampoo for dogs?

    Flea and tick shampoos are a helpful tool for immediate pest control, especially after exposure. Choose products with proven active ingredients like pyrethrin or permethrin (unless your dog is a sensitive breed like a Collie or under veterinary guidance). These shampoos kill parasites on contact and provide temporary relief, though they’re best used in combination with a long-term prevention plan.


    Are there shampoos safe for puppies?

    Yes, puppies need extra-gentle formulas that are free from harsh detergents, sulfates, and strong fragrances. Look for shampoos labeled specifically for puppies or with tear-free, pH-balanced formulas. At PetPawsRx, we carry puppy-safe shampoos that cleanse gently while protecting your little one’s sensitive skin and eyes.
