WooWoo Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hi everyone! I’m new here. I have a giant female husky names Zoe who’s 7.5 years old. I stumbled across this site while looking for grooming recommendations and diet advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum Zoe has had some skin issues. In the summer she gets a really yeasty smell and the fur behind her back legs becomes more oily and it’s almost impossible to get the dead undercoat out. The vet just gave me a medicated shampoo ( phytovet CK). It seemed to get a lot of the greasiness out and she smells better but I was wondering if anyone had advise on how to prevent this. She does like to go swimming and I have a professional forced air dryer I use after she gets wet. I typically only use shampoo 2 a year bc I was told it’s Not good to over bathe huskies. I do give her water baths when she gets really dirty. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
