What is the best anti-itch shampoo for Westie dogs?

Westies have a very wiry coat. Get a good moisturizer or a shampoo specifically for wire coats.





Hint: If you really want her white coat to stand out, use a black shampoo. The black counter acts the white and takes out any yellow or dullness she may have.





I use to use this all the time. It smells wonderful and works fantastic. It's pricey, but 1000% worth it.

My only suggestion for a shampoo w/o seeing your dog would Hylyt. It is a very mild hypo shampoo with Omegas added to keep coat from drying out. It is one of the few shampoos that I know is fine to use weekly with no problems. Since westies are the #1 breed for skin %26amp; allergies issues I would recommend going to a dermatologist vet to get the best diagnosis %26amp; treatment. Depending on what is happening with your dog's skin, they can tell you exactly which shampoos to use to help with scratching. She may need antibacterial shampoo or others to help with secondary infections on the skin.What is the best anti-itch shampoo for Westie dogs?
If your dog is itching, it may be fleas which would require a flea preventative.





If your dog is itching and does not have flea issues, it may have skin allergies. In this case, I would suggest taking your dog to the vet and seeing if it is strictly a skin issue, other microscopic parasites, or maybe even an allergy from food.





If your vet tells you it is a skin allergy, they will probably suggest using a medicated dog shampoo on your dog once or twice a week (depending on what stage and the seriousness of the allergy).





Good Luck!
My suggestion? Change your dogs food. My dogs do really well on Kirkland from Costco, it is the best food for the price.





Then there is a huge price jump to the other foods I would consider feeding, including Innova, Wellness, etc.
Herbal Essences-- Hydration shampoo and conditioner! It works great! Their coat comes out so soft and it stops the itching.
