Mutt_Lady Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 What's with oatmeal shampoo in the stores? I went to the pet store to get K some shampoo for a bath and all they had was Oatmeal shampoo (or so it seemed like). It was EVERYWHERE. Anyone wanna tell me why oatmeal shampoo is so good for dogs these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Matty Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Its supposed to be soothing for irritated skin, or dogs who have allergies to shampoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they rub the dog with the sock, the oatmeal juice is supposed to help itchy skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarFox Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 zebra had realy dry itchy skin when we first got him so the vet suggested oatmean shampoo. His skin isn't dry and his coat is brighter. Seems to have worked for him. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseatthebusstop Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I was told a while ago to try it on Gladis but I have not seen any in our shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblezzz Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Oatmeal shampoo helps with our dog who is very allergy prone. She gets dry, flaky, dandruffy and itchy skin - it was really awful watching her scratch away. :( Used together with oral supplements (Omegas 3 & 6), the oatmeal really seems to help sooth her skin. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
