But we should be very careful while selecting the shampoo as it should not be too costly or irritant to our doggy's' skin.
Baking soda is one of the inexpensive and most affordable and accessible shampoo that can be used to cleanse our dogs skin as it contain no harsh chemicals nor it has no irritating smell, rather it ill neutralize the odours of dogs rather than masking them up.
And it just need to sprinkle over the dogs body and rub it with hands which will make your dogs skin clean, shiny and perfectly odour free.
As you all know winter is a season when the skin will become really dry and flaky and there is much consider about selecting a shampoo for your dog during this time.
It is very important that the dog shampoo should consist of a moisturizer to restore the healthy skin coat and never give the dog a long bath as this will surely remove the oil content of skin.
It is better to opt for a homeopathic or a branded herbal dog shampoos and not merely cheap local imitations so as to ensure the skin care of your dog.
Spirulina, dandelion, horsetail and focus etc are some of the herbal shampoos.
There are also many things that you should concern about before selecting a shampoo.
They include presence of fleas, dirt and kind of skin, whether it is dry or wet, ant dandruff is present over the skin and many more.
If there are fleas then it's good to go for the recommendation of vet even though it may cost a bit more.
Avoid bathing or your dog being shampooed too often as it may only dry his skin; use them once in a week or so depending on the cleanliness of the skin.
