hi this is dr. Karen Becker and if
you're a frequent visitor here at
Mercola healthy Pat's you've probably
noticed that I'm a big fan of giving
your dog a bath regularly I believe you
should bathe your dog as often as
necessary to relieve each year inflamed
skin wash away dirt allergens pollutants
and pests as well as manage bacteria and
yeast overgrowth bathing also helps to
get rid of dead skin cells and extra
hair and to keep your fuzzy family
member comfortable and non stinky
some dogs rarely need baths my
Rottweiler Isabel was bathed on average
yearly usually after she found something
really disgusting to roll in however on
the other hand some dogs like my yeast
Pro embossed interior needs a bath
pretty regularly in fact he gets a bath
weekly if I want to manage his skin
without using drugs or supplements so it
depends on the type of coat your dog has
where you live what type of lifestyle
you provide to your pet his exposure to
environmental toxins and chemicals and
whether your dog deals with reiha
current outbreaks of infected itchy or
irritated skin some dogs have very dry
skin and are never exposed to yard
chemicals and manage their own skin
bacterial levels beautifully on their
own these dogs don't need to be bathed
regularly however many dogs naturally
have oily skin or they're prone to hot
spots yeast or staph infections they
have regular exposure to yard chemicals
or they're fuzzy bodies act to collect a
tremendous number of allergens that can
cause them to lick an itch these dogs
absolutely benefit from mechanical
abrasion as veterinarians say which is
the simple act of manually washing aware
away irritants disinfecting the body is
one of the most natural economical and
common-sense ways to keep your pet
healthy really from the outside in you
may have heard that bathing a dog is bad
for him and that it strips away his
natural oils there was a time not so
long ago that this was actually
absolutely true about a hundred years
ago the only shampoos available for both
people and pets were lie or coaltarbased
shampoos which were extremely drying and
very caustic to the skin for this reason
people wash their hair as infrequently
as possible and of course they did they
did the same for their pets thank
goodness hair care products have evolved
for people in pets and just as there are
safe alternatives so that people can
regularly disinfect their hair
the same is true for pets but it is
important to pick your shampoo wisely
when I talk about bathing your pet I
always recommend using gentle
all-natural shampoos that are created
specifically for dogs I don't recommend
using human shampoo because human
shampoos are conditioned to have a pH
that's conducive and balance for humans
not for canines not only are natural
shampoos better for your pets skin and
coat they're also safer because
obviously whatever you put on your pet
is going to be absorbed into your pet
and so it's important that whatever gets
inside into the bloodstream and the
tissues be non-toxic unfortunately many
popular shampoos for both humans and
pets contain some potentially toxic
ingredients including pyrethrins which
are in which as a category are
insecticides d trans Allison which is a
suspected endocrine system disrupter as
well as a res Mathurin which is
classified as a potential carcinogen
needless to know all of these things you
should avoid not only for dogs and cats
but for yourself as well I also don't
recommend oatmeal shampoos for pets even
though there are dozens on the market
these days
oatmeal is hailed as a soothing
ingredient for human skin exposed to
irritants such as poison ivy or poison
oak unfortunately many animals have
green allergies up to 80% of allergic
dogs in fact and they're likely to have
problems with shampoos that contain
grains including oatmeal grain based
shampoos can also feed yeast and
bacterial conditions that are occurring
on your pets skin in my experience the
only dogs that actually benefit from
shampoos that contain oatmeal are those
suffering from a reaction to poison oak
or poison ivy which are of course pretty
rare you might be wondering then what
kind of dog shampoo I can recommend and
I'm very excited to announce that
Mercola healthy pets is now offering not
one but two all natural dog shampoos
that I highly recommend these shampoos
are USDA certified organic they contain
no sulfates or harsh chemicals and
they're especially formulated to soothe
condition and support your dog's healthy
skin and coat our calming organic
lavender shampoo is designed for dogs
with sensitive skin it contains soothing
organic herbal extracts and rich
moisturizers including aloe vera and Pro
vitamin b5 this really gentle formula is
perfect for puppies to geriatrics and
it's excellent for dogs that also have
stressful experiences at bath time
our invigorating organic peppermint
shampoo is one of my favorites it has a
refreshing smell it really has a really
cooling sensation to your dog's skin
that is both soothing and rejuvenating I
love the shampoo for pets that have
dermatological
it's perfect for dogs prone to skin
infections and hot spots as well as dogs
that are greasy stinky or yeasty I use
it on my pets whether they have skin
conditions or not because it makes them
smell really good and fresh both
shampoos are eco-friendly biodegradable
safe for outdoor use and all of them are
made in the USA each shampoo contains an
incredible blend of organic herbals and
moisturizers including organic neem seed
oil and organic neem leaf extract
organic apple juice organic coconut oil
organic sunflower oil organic sesame
seed oil organic jojoba seed oil organic
horsetail leaf extract extract and
organic aloe vera
we've also added in an organic
peppermint conditioner to the lineup
which is especially suited for dogs with
long hair or double coats and will be
the perfect ending to bath time
experience and I love this particular
conditioner because the organic shea
butter and the organic olive oil leaves
the coat in really amazing condition as
you can probably tell I'm really excited
about our new lineup of dog shampoos and
the conditioner they are all of the
highest quality all natural totally safe
to use as often as needed that can be
from once a week to once a year to keep
up with your pet skin condition and to
keep your pet skin healthy I think dog
owners are really going to enjoy using
these different products and seeing the
difference they can make in the
condition of their dog's coat and skin
