Common appearances of bacterial infections:
- Pimples
- Circular rings of scale or redness (as larger pimples pop and leave 'rings' of skin damage)
- Moist areas of skin commonly referred to as hotspots
Sometimes there is just bad luck involved, although the majority of cases of skin infections in dogs can be tracked to underlying conditions which allow the low numbers of normal bacterial residents to overgrow and cause disease.
Underlying causes for bacterial infections:
- Allergy, pollen, grass, food (meats), fleas
- Hormonal problems (including Cushing's disease and thyroid problems)
- Parasitic infestations such as demodex mites or Scabies.
Pyohex shampoo and conditioner have the great benefit over creams and lotions in that they can be applied all over, regardless of the amount of fur coverage.
Shampoo your dog with Pyohex shampoo, then after rinsing allow the dog to shake excess water from its coat. Next rub Pyohex Conditioner through the coat whilst still damp. This can be achieved by applying a small amount to your hands, lightly rubbing your hands together and then dabbing your hands over your dog's coat. After the conditioner is roughly distributed give your dog a good rub to evenly distribute it throughout the coat.
How often should I use Pyohex Medicated Shampoo & Conditioner?
During periods of active infection the shampoo and conditioner should be used twice per week. Once the infection has resolved, bathing once per week or fortnight is often enough to prevent recurrences. The time of year may influence the frequency of bathing - during spring and summer, dogs who suffer bad allergies may find they require more frequent bathing then they do in winter when their allergies are not as active.
Active ingredient: 30g/L Chlorhexidine gluconate
SIZE: 100mL; 200mL

Skin conditions and hotspots are one of the major reasons pet’s are taken to the vet.

Taking a proactive approach to healing the skin naturally may help to improve your pet’s overall skin/coat health!

In some dogs and cats, particularly those with dry or itchy skin, these ceramides can be depleted due to factors like harsh chemicals and irritants found in some shampoos and conditioners, the environment (wind, humidity and sun light), diet and genetic disposition.
Containing PAW’s advanced Cerasine skin nutrient complex, PAW NutriDerm Replenishing Conditioner is suitable for dogs and cats with normal, dry and itchy skin.

Itchy & Hot Spots
Does your dog get itchy, red, inflamed skin or develop hotspots? Shop our range of products to help soothe and treat your dogs skin.
What causes itchy or red skin in dogs?
Itchy red skin in dogs can stem from a variety of factors, including allergies (food, environmental, or contact), flea infestations or flea allergy dermatitis, skin infections (bacterial, fungal, or parasitic), irritants such as harsh shampoos or chemicals, dry skin, poor grooming habits, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, parasitic infestations like mites or ticks, food sensitivities or intolerances, and stress or anxiety. Identifying the root cause is crucial for effective treatment, so consulting with a veterinarian is recommended to properly diagnose the issue and develop an appropriate management plan tailored to your dog's specific needs.
What are Hotspots?
Hotspots, also called acute moist dermatitis or pyotraumatic dermatitis, are localized areas of inflamed, red, and often moist or oozing skin found on dogs. These lesions are typically very itchy and painful for the dog, and they can develop rapidly, sometimes within hours. Hotspots often result from underlying issues like allergies, flea infestations, bacterial or fungal infections, or skin irritations. Common triggers include insect bites, allergies, or excessive licking or scratching of a particular area. For more information on Hotspots and how to treat them visit the vetnpet DIRECT Help Centre here.
What helps to soothe itchy red skin in dogs?
To soothe itchy red skin in dogs, consider using topical treatments, gels and creams, which can help alleviate irritation and inflammation. Additionally, medicated shampoos containing ingredients like oatmeal or tea tree oil can provide relief during baths. Dietary supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids or antihistamines prescribed by your veterinarian may also help manage itching from within. Always consult with your vet before trying new products to ensure they are safe and suitable for your dog's condition.
