7 Signs Your Pet Has Sensitive Skin — And What You Can Do About It
Sensitive skin in dogs and cats is more common than many pet owners think.
If your furbaby is always scratching, has redness, or gets bumps after a bath — their skin might be reacting to harsh products, food, or even dust at home.
In the Philippines, with our humid weather, fleas, and common household allergens, skin problems in pets can get worse if not addressed early.
Let’s talk about the 7 warning signs of sensitive skin — and what you can do naturally to help your pet heal and stay itch-free.
🐾 1. Laging Kamot nang Kamot (Constant Scratching)
If your dog or cat keeps scratching their neck, belly, or ears — kahit bagong ligo — it could be a sign of irritation or allergy.
What to do:
Switch to a natural dog shampoo for sensitive skin. Look for ingredients like Aloe Vera, Madre de Cacao, and Virgin Coconut Oil that soothe without chemicals.
🐾 2. Red or Inflammatory Patches
Makikita mo ba yung balat ni furbaby na parang namumula? Especially around the legs, armpits, or tummy?
What to do:
Use shampoos that contain glycerin, almond oil, or neem extract. These calm the redness while gently cleaning the skin.
🐾 3. White Flakes or Dry Skin (Parang Balakubak)
Dog or cat dandruff is real — lalo na kung dry ang balat. You’ll notice flakes on their bed or when you brush them.
What to do:
Use moisturizing shampoo with jojoba oil or argan oil to hydrate naturally. Avoid strong-scented, artificial products.
🐾 4. Bumps or Allergic Rashes
Sensitive skin often shows in tiny red bumps or hives. These may come from food, dust, or even fabric.
What to do:
Look for a chemical-free pet shampoo that’s gentle and hypoallergenic — safe for everyday use.
🐾 5. Hair Loss or Bald Spots
Pag may kalbo na part sa balahibo, especially sa leeg or likod, it could be a reaction to over-scratching or an allergy.
What to do:
Help repair your pet’s coat with a 2-in-1 organic shampoo and conditioner that strengthens skin and promotes fur regrowth.
🐾 6. Scabs or Wounds
If you see thick scabs or open wounds, it's likely your pet's skin is reacting severely — sometimes from flea bites or shampoo irritation.
What to do:
Use a healing shampoo with Madre de Cacao (a trusted anti-mange ingredient in the Philippines), which helps soothe and heal naturally.
🐾 7. Bad Odor Even After Bath
Kung naamoy mo pa rin si furbaby kahit bagong ligo, it could mean the skin is overproducing oil due to irritation.
What to do:
Avoid perfumed shampoos. Choose one with natural antibacterial oils like Virgin Coconut Oil to clean without stripping good skin oils.
