Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo - 250ml

Description

Skin conditions in pets are common and can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, infections, environmental irritants, and nutritional deficiencies. One of the more frequent issues seen in dogs and cats is dry and scaly skin, which can cause discomfort and lead to excessive scratching or biting. Left untreated, these symptoms can worsen and result in secondary infections or hair loss.

Dry and Scaly Skin: This is characterised by patches of flaky, rough skin that lack moisture. It can be caused by environmental factors such as dry air, excessive washing with harsh shampoos, or underlying health conditions like hypothyroidism or nutritional deficiencies. In some cases, pets may develop seborrhoea, a condition where the skin becomes either too dry (dry seborrhoea) or excessively oily (oily seborrhoea), leading to flaking and irritation.

Using a specialised product like Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo can significantly help manage these skin conditions. Its hypoallergenic and soap-free formulation ensures that it doesn’t strip away the skin’s natural oils, which are essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Regular use can help improve the texture and hydration of the skin, reducing the occurrence of scaling and dryness.

Suitable for All Skin Types

One of the standout features of Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo is its versatility. It is suitable for use on all skin types, including puppies and kittens with more sensitive skin. The gentle formulation and neutral pH make it ideal for routine care, ensuring that even the most delicate skin is moisturised without causing irritation.

Why Choose a Soap-Free Shampoo?

Many shampoos contain soap, which can be harsh on a pet’s skin, stripping away essential oils and leading to dryness. Soap-based shampoos can also disturb the skin’s natural pH balance, making it more susceptible to irritation or infection. Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo is soap-free, which means it cleanses the skin and coat without disrupting the natural oils that protect the skin barrier. This makes it an excellent choice for pets with skin that is prone to drying out or becoming scaly.

Moisturising and Protective Ingredients

Key Ingredients:

• Urea (5%): A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, helping to relieve dryness and soften scaly patches.
• Glycerin (1%): Works as an emollient to lock in moisture and enhance the skin’s protective barrier, leaving the skin soft and hydrated.
• Chitosanide: Forms a protective film on the skin to prevent water loss and protect against environmental irritants, supporting long-term hydration.

This unique combination of ingredients ensures that the shampoo not only cleans the skin and coat but also provides continuous moisture and protection. Pets with recurring dry skin issues can benefit from the long-lasting effects of these ingredients, making Allerderm a valuable part of their skin care routine.

Environmental Factors and Skin Health

Environmental factors can greatly impact a pet’s skin health. Central heating during colder months or air conditioning in the summer can strip moisture from the air, leading to dry skin. Pets are particularly vulnerable to these changes because their skin is sensitive to fluctuations in humidity. Using Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo can help mitigate the effects of these environmental factors, keeping the skin hydrated and reducing the risk of developing dry, scaly patches.

In addition to external factors, diet can also play a role in the health of your pet’s skin. Ensuring your pet has a balanced diet with the right nutrients is key to supporting their skin and coat from within. However, topical treatments like Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo offer external support to keep the skin healthy and hydrated.

How to Use

To use Allerderm Dry and Scaly Skin Shampoo, wet your pet’s coat thoroughly, then apply the shampoo and massage gently into the skin and coat. Allow the product to sit for a few minutes to maximise its hydrating and protective benefits, then rinse thoroughly. For best results, use regularly as part of your pet’s skin care routine.
