Animals don’t shower daily to remove allergens and they don’t wear protective clothing and shoes to keep allergens at bay. Environmental substances (ragweed, grass, pollen, mold) animals pick up just by walking outside can even provide enough irritating substances to cause a reaction. The resulting allergic reaction is actually one reason why elderly animals and those in poor health often exude an unpleasant fragrance. Common sense: Keep Skin Clean and Healthy If you have a rash, scab, infection, or injury to your skin, you don’t have much question about what to do -- you keep it clean! The same is true for dogs and cats. Your animals will feel better, smell better, and heal faster if their skin is kept healthy and clean.
