Our vet prescribed this shampoo, our dog bit his little paw and wouldn’t let us put anything on him, we had to bathe him twice a day. week, let it stay on the skin for 10 minutes, looks like it’s working but it’s early days. We tried fish oil, but it made no difference.

I use Burt’s Bees tearless puppy shampoo. It is very soothing and does not itch afterwards.

Add one drop of hibiscrub to 4 liters of warm water, wash the affected area and rinse with clean warm water. This is the only one that fits my poppy’s paws, it’s allergic to grass and will lick all the hairs off my feet if I don’t wash it. them everyday, hope this helps you

Jax and Daisy was of great help to my Jack who has severe allergies. Shower daily for three days, then every three days or as symptoms arise. It helps create a barrier against allergens.

Itchy and sensitive skin isn’t really a problem caused by the product, it’s mostly food-related allergies
You really need to ask your vet for a full allergen test so you don’t do more harm than good with unnecessary products.
All the best

Oatmeal shampoo or gargling with apple cider vinegar, my jack Russell had itchy sensitive skin until I changed her diet. I feed her top notch ziwi beef jerky, it’s expensive but worth it

I use Dr Zoo, which is made by the same company that makes skin care products for people with eczema/dermatitis, etc… MooGoo Skin Care
The ones that are really good and completely safe if they are ingested, unlike malaseb, which can be dangerous if swallowed.

I actually bought at Aveeno soaked oatmeal. I’ve had two Jack Russells in my life, and both suffer from pruritus a few times a year. I just let her soak in the sink and she seemed to enjoy it and flushed her as clean as possible. You will get All Kinds of Answers Another thing I use for my Jack Russell to relieve these constant itchiness is that I actually buy coconut oil and rub it deep into her skin, then I brush it and then I like to massage my skin. Coconut oil can seem greasy if they rub against your furniture but I’ve never had this problem and it’s also great to use on my hair when I get dry. Good luck to your baby!
