Your poodle is probably losing hair because she has some sort of allergy. Those spots are called Hot Spots. I would recommend never using human shampoo or conditioner of any kind on a dog, unless recommended by a vet. Human shampoo and conditioner, tends to be a little too harsh and irritating on a dogs skin. They do have an oatmeal shampoo, that is specifically used for dogs with skin allergies, that you can find in your local pet store. You can also call your vet and ask them to recommend something that would help with the itching.Good Luck! Hope this helps!

NEVER NEVER use human shampoo on dogs!!!! It in not made for their skin and will dry out their skin drasticlly!!!! Go to the pet store and get an Oatmeal shampoo to bath her with. Also the kind of food someone feeds can also cause skin problems!! Do you get your food from the grocery store!! If you do then it is Crap food!! Go to the pet store and ask for help on picking out a better food!!

Avodrem

Nutro

Nature Receipt

Royal Caine

These are just a few great foods but the are many more out there!! Feed grocery store food is like giving your kids burger King everyday. Hope this helps!!

use dog shampoo. how old is she? She could have mites, which cause dogs to lose the hair, but those usually aren't irritating. Her skin is probably dried out. She does not need rogaine. Take her to the vet.

See the vet, it is not normally the shampoo, but the only good human shampoo is baby shampoo.

Rogaine?? LOL That is what we were going to name our hairless dog

I would get her to the vet straight away. It could be anything like sarcoptic mange or flea allergy dermatitis or psoriasis which might get harder to manage the longer you wait. I have always used baby shampoo and never had a problem.

Stop using V05 on your dog!! Always use a special dog shampoo which you can buy from your local pet store or vet!!! It could very well be the shampoo, but I'm more inclined to think its something else. Take your dog to a vet,where she can be properly evaluated and correct treatment given should she need it.

It could be the shampoo or maybe she has developed an allergy. Have you checked her for fleas and ringworms. I bathe my Yorkies in baby shampoo and you can either use conditioner or liquid fabric softner. Hope this helps.

You should not use human products on dog's skin and coat. The shampoo is probably messing up her pH balance on her skin as well as depriving her of the oils needed to help rejuvenate her coat and keep her skin healthy.

You need to take her to the vet and get a check up and talk to them about what's going on. You should use a DOG oatmeal oatmeal shampoo/conditioner that you can purchase at any local petstore. This will help her skin and fur and it will put back the balance on her body and help get her oils back.

my dog had similar problems w/major hair loss,sometimes she's get stinky, horrible scratching until she bled!! and i tried everything!! Changing her food to vitamin/fish oil supplements, shampoos, creams and nothing worked....Until I found the home remedy on the net. THIS REALLY WORKS!!! Buy a box of 20 Mule Team borax ---{ it is in the laundry detergent isle at Walmart for 4 bucks} buy a big bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide-- {depending on the size of your dog} **since hydrogen peroxide is 3% you need to dilute it w/ 2 parts water to make it 1% strength.

Ok, heres the recipe..,, get a large cup like a super-size burger king cup {or a picther if the dog is large-- you can double the recipe} and gather the above ingredients. I use a measuring cup for accuracy and i measure 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide and put it in the cup then i add at least 2 or 3 cups of the borax to the peroxide and stir, then i add 2 cups of very warm water to the cup and stir and stir until it somewhat dissloves.{ there will be some settleing so be sure to stir when you get ready to apply.] ok the mixture is ready i put it on the sink and the dog in the tub and give her a bath with my hair shampoo and rinse well, very well!! then i re-stir my mixture and put it all over her body taking special attention to her "bad" areas, make sure to get the entire dog! I dab her face and chin with a clean washcloth soaked in the mixture. LEAVE THE MIXTURE ON FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES while the dog sits in the tub.This mixture is gritty and messy, but it doesnt sting the eyes or burn the skin. depending on the condition of the dog you can rinse her or leave in on her. I myself have found it works better ir you leave in on, do not rinse or towel dry. let the dog in her area to dry and allow the mixture to get all over where she sleeps and hangs out, it is messy so keep her out of you bed and off the furniture until she is dry. i did this every 3 days for a month and she looks AWESOME now! Apple Cider Vinegar from the health store works great too,{ in place of the 3% peroxide in the mixture} for itching, but it burns if the dog has open sores. I spray her with ACV {apple cider vinegar} daily and it makes her so SILKY and it also helps with any scratching, you wouldnt believe it!!! but she smells like a salad 4 awhile. I am seriously telling you from experience---IT WORKS like nothing else Ive tried!!!!!Her hair has grown in BEAUTIFULLY!!!!
