There are numerous reasons why the dogs and cats in our lives have itchy skin. Causes of itching include parasites (such as fleas and ticks), bacterial infections, and – one of the most common reasons – allergies.1
Twenty percent of pets suffer from allergies and other skin conditions.2 If you have a pet that suffers from atopic dermatitis you know how frustrating it can be to see your pet suffer.
Bathing your pet frequently to help remove the allergens is also helpful. But what shampoo do you use?
With a pet that suffers from allergies you need a shampoo that is free of irritants like fragrances and colorizing agents. Virbac offers products such as ALLERMYL® (Piroctone Olamine) Medicated Shampoo for management of allergic skin conditions. ALLERMYL Shampoo is soothing and moisturizing, and it does not contain added fragrance, coloring agents or other ingredients that can lead to further irritation of your pet’s skin.
