Bacterial and yeast skin infections in dogs are common and often a secondary problem that results from some other condition - for example, allergic skin disease. It can manifests as surface pyoderma, superficial pyoderma or deep pyoderma. Learn more about skin infections here. Skin care for your dog is crucial in most cases when dealing with skin bacterial or yeast issues.
Why is it important to have a routine for infection tendencies?
Dog skin infection causes are many and varied. Bacterial and yeast skin infections can often develop due to an underlying condition that causes the skin to become more fragile. By establishing a routine, it can considerably improve your dog’s quality of life. Here are a few ways it can better their condition:
Controls the bacterial / yeast overgrowth: a several-week care with appropriate productscontaining antiseptic ingredients willput the germ overgrowth under control.
Controls underlying causes / anticipates recurrences: In addition to the antiseptic care, depending on the underlying cause, a targeted routine care can help manage these triggers, such as allergies. In addition, regular close look at your dog’s skin may allow to detect as soon as possible an issue requiring medical attention.
Ensures comfort: Infections on the skin can cause itching, redness, and irritation. A routine for managing infection tendencies helps alleviate discomfort, keeping your dog comfortable and free from signs of distress.
Reinforces the bond: Regular grooming and care routines create opportunities for bonding with your pet. These interactions not only address physical needs but also strengthen the emotional connection between you and your dog.
Understanding the specific triggers for your dog's infection tendencies is crucial in developing an effective management plan. Regular veterinary check-ups and observation of your dog's behavior and skin condition can help identify and address infections promptly.
What to use for infection tendencies?
Actually, when dealing with this type of condition that is usually linked to another cause, there are two steps:
1. Solve the germ overgrowth
2. Put the underlying cause under control.
To solve the germ overgrowth, antiseptic products such as chlorhexidine digluconate products are the go-to solution. In addition, these conditions are usually very pruritic with inflammation. Soothing ingredients, such as Ophytrium contained in DOUXO® S3 PYO are very useful to bring comfort. In addition, Ophytrium helps repair the damaged skin barrier and prevents adhesion of further pathogenic bacteria. These products can be used each time there is a germ overgrowth.
After the episode of microbiota imbalance is solved, depending on the underlying cause, another routine can be put in place. One of the major cause of skin infections is allergies. Don’t hesitate to have a look at our allergic skin routine for dogs for more information.
What can be a recommended routine for infection tendency?
