Pet Rashes on Your Dog or Puppy

Does your dog or puppy have an odd type of eruption on the body and skin? Are you seeing stratching activity and signs your pet is in discomfort? Dog rashes are quite common and can be frustrating to both the dog and the owner. Communication about when it occurred, how it feels and other factors is impossible so this makes it difficult to find out the underlying causes in some situations.

Hives pimples are one of the more common rashes found in dogs and they are usually caused due to an allergic reaction to numerous outside stimuli such as insect bites, vaccinations or any allergens that may be found in the day-to-day environment. Be aware of grasses and environments that your dog rolls in. They can be identified by an itchy circular raised rash which is found on the skin on any part of the body.

Rashes from fleas are a common complaint of dog owners. These pesky little critters cause redness over the rump or tail of your dog. Fleas can be picked up by contact with other animals or in the environment where your dog may spend his day. Unlike some of the other rashes that we've spoken about fleas can be managed at home by using reputable flea powders and dog shampoos.

To identify yeast infections in your dog look out for itchiness, and also the dog's coat may give off an unpleasant odor. Also be aware of the coat giving off a greasy texture this may also be an indication of a yeast infection. Candida can be caused by bacteria in the intestinal tract, and good bacteria needs to be replenished in the dog's diet with probiotics.

Dog scabies or mange is also a common dog problem but it is extremely contagious to other dogs. Some claim it is passed to people, though experts dispute this. Still, those with dogs say that the mange was communicated to their own bodies because they previously had no rash.

Like all ailments the most important thing to remember is that prevention of any skin problem or health issues is better than try to eradicate it. Constantly monitor your dog's environment keep your dog clean and provide a healthy balanced diet to avoid both skin problems and other diseases your dog can acquire.
