Dry Skin Products

Cairns should be bathed infrequently to avoid drying out the skin. Particularly in the winter months, they get dry itchy skin just like we do! Ingredients such as: Aloe Vera, honey, silk amino acid, organic silicone, panthenol, and tocopherol acetate (vitamin E) are all natural and herbal ingredients found in our products on www.designerdogavenue.com that help retain moisture, condition, sooth, and relieve dry itchy skin. Start with Comfy Dog conditioning shampoo (doesn't over-lather and is easier to rinse) and rinse thoroughly. The most important part of bathing is thorough rinsing! BowWow Butter Balm is great for spot treatment of itches and insect bites. It also conditions and assists in removing matts. The longer you leave it on, the more it conditions, and it leaves the coat easier to brush through. Before going on walks or outings spray your dog with Flea the Scene, which will repel biting insects and soothe irritated skin. Calming Aromatherapy Spritzer contains lavender essential oil which relieves tension but is also healing for cuts, wounds, sores, insect bites, and burns. It also contains Aloe Vera Extract and Organic Silicone which help slow moisture loss, and Panthenol which improves moisture retention in the coat and has an anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effect. A great between bath treatment is Dry dog which not only smells wonderful, but contains Panthenol, Aloe Vera, and Ordenone to capture and eliminate odors, and Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) which is an anti-oxidant, UV Protector and skin moisturizer.
