Could anyone recommend a good shampoo for a fox poo loving dog with sensitive skin?
Don't worry he has not rolled in fox poo but just to have for emergencies. I am not sitting here with a crusty pup and a peg on my nose!

I use this on my sensitive Staff - it lasts for ages and soothes his skin.

Oh and it's mild enough to use every day if necessary.

Oh thank you that looks like just the thing. Going to order some! He tends to get a rash over his face, chest and front legs.

Poor little fella! Mine is allergic to grass and gets a bumpy, itchy rash on his baldy belly so he's on Piriton. I found the shampoo that the vet gave him was ridiculously expensive so did some searching on various forums and found this stuff recommended on Money Saving Expert. I'm on my fourth bar after about a year or so.

Hope it brings your boy some relief or at least doesn't aggravate his poor skin.

Mine has started on Piriton and it has worked wonders. He got a jag that cost £26 at the vets which did nothing for him. His allergy is to household cleaners so everything steam cleaned or eco at my place. However my mum sits him a lot while I work and if she takes him back to her house he has a flare up. My sister sticks to her stinky stuff.
I just don't want to bathe him and then start a flare up. Thanks for the tip!
