20 Best Hypoallergenic Shampoos for Dachshund’s with Itchy/Sensitive Skin
Baby shampoo. Human stuff has historically worked better on my pups. That’s just my opinion. Hopefully I don’t get attacked for it

We tried baby shampoo, oatmeal shampoo and a couple of others for our old girl all without success. Took her to the vet and found out it is thyroid condition, never knew thyroid would cause a skin condition. Doc gave her some meds and she has relief in a matter of an hour. No scratching or biting. Now waiting for hair to grow back in.

Miconahex Triz shampoo you get at vet. As you are running bath water put one little drop of Tea Tree oil in water and baking soda. Bathe in this once a week, every week. Mine had a fungus really bad, worked great.

This is amazing from the vet. When I use it I first pit it on her wars. She gets dryness at the ends plus she had a rash like pimples. I use this all the time and her skin is fabulous. No breakouts.

Both of these are really good. I tried so many different shampoos with my boy who would get itchy/flaky skin. Diet helps too.

This shampoo is amazing! We got it at our Vets but you can probably google it. My Maxwell suffers from extreme dry skin. He loves his baths.

We used to give our baby a bath every Sunday. We switched to only spot wiping him and only washing him 1 every month or so. He is an inside dog. His coat improved and we just use a puppy Burt’s bees soap. I think we were just over drying his skin and his natural oils

VEDCO Oatmeal & Aloe Shampoo & Conditioner. This is what my vet recommended. I have 5 mini Doxies and I wouldn’t use anything else! You can also use pure coconut oil on their skin and coat for itch, dry skin and other skin sensitivities.

I use Burt’s Bee’s oatmeal shampoo. I also feed them Science Diet sensitive skin and stomach. They both do well with these products. My piebald girl has very sensitive skin and that shampoo is great!!

I have bathed all our dogs over the years in Mane and Tail shampoo and conditioner. It has always worked well. A first wash in Dawn during flea season works great to rid those pesky fleas.
