Green Pet Shampoos:
Building Natural Resistance Against Skin Infections
Despite the advancement of scientific medical care, there is an increase in the number of dogs with skin and coat problems. That includes something as simple as dandruff and dry, bumpy skin to serious pathogenic infections like pyoderma, pruritus and mange. These are, however, curable and preventable; but a specially formulated selenium-rich dog shampoo is not a comprehensive solution. It is the deficit of natural ingredients that allows microbes to take over. Thus, it is with naturally occurring components that such infections are best dealt with.

What green pet shampoos offer
Quality pet shampoos have almost every natural ingredient to prevent or curb diseases and infections like pruritus, exudative dermatitis, pyoderma, scaling lesions, matting of coat/fur, sarcoptic and demodectic mange, and the resulting foul body odors. However, that’s just one part of the story.
The strength inside
Any skin disorder is the first indication of a failing immune system, especially mange, which is caused by an overpopulation of mites in the hair follicles of dogs. A natural immune booster is therefore a must in any green pet shampoo.
Striking the balance
Before choosing a green pet shampoo, always see if:
• The brand has certifications on the organic ingredients used.
• There are no artificial elements like fragrances, colors or preservatives.
• It comes in different categories (puppy, adult etc.) and also as single disorder treatment choices.
• Neem, Indian dill, tea tree oil, Aloe Vera and rosemary are some of the ingredients.
• Unless Eucalyptus, Wild Indigo, Psoralea oils and Calamus are also prevalent in the shampoo, one should not pay a hefty price for the product.
As for boosting the immune system, there’s a wonderful herbal concoction called Septilin which imparts immuno-modulatory and anti-inflammatory solutions by stimulating phagocytosis through macrophage activation.
