Just like humans, dogs also benefit from maintaining healthy and comfortable skin. It is important to pay attention to any signs of irritation, such as redness or itching, which may indicate allergies or skin conditions in your dog.
There are certain breeds of dog that are more susceptible to sensitive skin, but any dog can suffer with allergies or sensitivities to things that they commonly encounter such as grass, dust, and pollen.
As with any condition, and particularly one that is regularly impacting your pets happiness and health, then it is important to always check with a vet before choosing an approach.
