How to treat dog skin
conditions
Skin conditions are a common problem in dogs but they don't mean you're doing anything wrong as a pet owner! They're part and parcel of any dog's life. Luckily, most skincare and treatments are available over the counter. Most important is to know what you are treating so you get the correct product. For more serious conditions, such as mange, a dog prescription medication may be needed. If you are unsure what skin condition your dog has, speak to your vet first.
Types of treatment include:
Daily skin care
Some dogs can be prone to dry skin spots or itchy skin. Or it might be that you just want to ensure their skin is in the best condition. For this we have a variety of products that can be used daily for when your pup's issue flares or to keep issues at bay. Check out our variety of supplements that you can add to your pooches food. These usually contain ingredients like vitamin E, fish oil and flax. We also have wipes, balms, shampoos and aloe vera gels to help with occasional flare ups.
Skin problems can also be a sign of your dog having a food sensitivity, so it could be worth trying a grain free dog food.
Antifungal treatments
If your dog has picked up a fungal infection, there are a range of treatments you can try. We stock antifungal wipes, shampoos and liquids. All are for use on the skin and easy to apply.</p>
A common fungal infection that dogs pick up is ringworm. For this Imaverol can help.
Antibacterial
treatments
Little cuts, grazes or broken skin are at risk of bacterial infection, so it's important to keep these clean. If your dog has been itching and broken their skin, then it's important to solve the itching as well as keep the broken skin clean. For this, we have wipes and shampoos. If your pooch is suffering from a more serious infection, we also stock prescription tablets.

Allergy Relief for Dogs
Care for dog hay fever and dog allergies with our collection of gentle, nourishing skincare and antihistamine for dogs. Supporting you to give your pet whatever they need to feel comfortable and cared for, we want to relieve irritation with a variety of shampoos, wipes, gel treatments, and allergy tablets for dogs.
Dog Allergy Tablets
For dogs that have seasonal or environmental allergies, prescribing allergy tablets like antihistamines or steroids can be the best course of action. Allergy treatments can be a long-term solution, so buying your prescription through us will help make your pet's medical needs more affordable.
Dog Shampoo for Allergies
Our range of anti-allergy shampoos for dogs are specially formulated to help manage skin reactions and conditions caused by allergies. These shampoos are gentle on irritated skin and work to soothe itching and soreness, while still deodorising and getting your pup clean.
A regular and thorough grooming routine is part of keeping your dog healthy and happy. However, this can be hard if your dog has sensitive skin or is prone to allergic reactions, so using medicated shampoos and wipes can make things easier. Shop all of our dog grooming supplies to ensure you have everything you need.
Flea Allergy Dermatitis
Some dogs are allergic to flea saliva, which means that they can develop flea allergy dermatitis. This is a very uncomfortable condition, so you will notice your dog itching and biting at their skin. As well as a medicated shampoo to alleviate itching and heal any open wounds, shop our dog flea treatments to ensure that you keep your pup safe from further bites.
Hypoallergenic Dog Food
Like people, some dogs have food allergies and intolerances that mean they need a special diet. Shop our dog food for allergies to make sure that you are giving them a balanced diet that has all the nutrients they need, while avoiding the ingredients that they can't have.
