Best shampoo/wash for dog with itchy coat?

[Fabforester]

No underlying health issues, no fleas / skin conditions, just a wiry coat - keen to know what you use that works. He's already on salmon oil which works fantastically, this is just an extra/surface level thought.

I used to use seleen. I have no idea if it is still avaialbe though. Overwashing won't help either.

We have one that is allergic to grass, so can have itchy sensitive skin. The vet says to just use a simple baby shampoo as it is mild.

On my wire coated schnauzer I use johnsons baby shampoo...or a specific shampoo for wire haired breeds...the key is to rinse very well...on her furnishings I use Pantene spoo and then Pantene conditioner..

do you card the coat? i.e.run a coarse stripping knife horizontally through the the coat to get out the undercoat...it will help keep her follicles free and maybe improve the health of her coat and skin.

Thanks all. Yes, undercoat regularly removed, and careful not to over wash the poor chap. Thanks for info.

Avoid shampoo and conditioner that contain silicon as it tends to break the hairs.

Sulphur shampoo or oatmeal. Sulphur one is available on Amazon. It helped my itchy dog.

I use my horse's shampoo on my pup! Nothing nasty in it and makes his coat come up really shiny. www.showready.co.uk . I also use the detangler/polisher on his coat before a walk as it stops him picking up sticky burrs!
