With updated information for 2023, Dog Insider's guide covers common signs of skin problems for dogs, the relationship between skin issues and systemic disorders, and breed-specific skin conditions.
Research from the National Institutes of Health shows that skin problems in canines are common, with 17% of dogs likely to be affected at some point by conditions like canine leishmaniasis, allergies, atopic dermatitis, scabies, otitis, or food allergies. Acknowledging the discomfort that can be caused by skin problems, the guide from Dog Insider is intended to help pet owners stay alert and identify issues as they arise. “It’s crucial that dog owners recognize the signs of common canine skin problems so they can provide their furry best friend with the proper treatment,” the author of the guide says.
Along with the more obvious signal of chronic scratching, the guide outlines some less common indications of skin ailments, like licking an affected area, a greasy coat, irritation, redness, and bald patches.
The guide covers the relationship between skin issues and systemic disorders in dogs, such as fungal skin infections and atopic dermatitis, noting that good hygiene practices that incorporate regular grooming and medicated shampoos can often alleviate the issue.
Readers will also find information about some breed-specific skin issues that can occur, including facial skin in flat-nosed dogs, such as bulldogs, which may cause the fur around the face to become bare or thin, or mange mites, most often observed in Chihuahuas.
While the Dog Insider team recommends always having a pet checked and treated by a veterinarian first and foremost, their guide offers suggestions for natural skin-care treatments that can be administered at home, including coconut oil, aloe vera, oatmeal, omega-3 fish oils, and honey, which can be applied topically or added to a pet’s diet to promote healing and reduce inflammation.
