How To Dog Proof a House
Keep socks out of the dog’s reach. Socks are a favorite chew toy for many dogs. Leave them their own chew toys to play with...or some socks that already have holes. You can also put a tennis ball inside a sock, knot it...and voila...a homemade toy that dogs love. ..:::How To Pet
Select a natural oatmeal-based shampoo or botancial formula if your dog has dry skin. Natural formulas work best.
Use shampoos with aloe vera to relieve fleabites and reduce itching. Aloe also contains minerals that help soften the skin. Then there are oils such as peppermint and tea tree that act as antiseptics, as well as a natural insect repellent.
Choose a shampoo containing hydrocortisone and lidocaine to relieve inflammation and itching.
Use a medicated shampoo with coal tar for dogs with oily, scaly skin and dandruff due to conditions such as seborrhea and eczema. Mild dandruff is often just a result of dry skin, so try a shampoo for dry skin first.
Look for hypoallergenic shampoos free of perfumes or dyes for a dog with allergies.
Use a conditioning shampoo with detanglers to make it easier to brush your longer coated dog out after a bath and contains an ingredient such as panthenol to add shine to the coat. Or you can use a separate conditioner with panthenol.
