Bathing can strip the coat of its natural oils, so it is best to make sure you are using a shampoo designed for puppies, or one that has aloe or oatmeal in it that can help soothe the skin after a bath. Making sure not to bathe too often, and using pet or baby wipes in between baths can help keep the coat clean without removing the healthy oils from the skin. A complete and balanced puppy food can also help with dry skin. If you see any itching or redness, or the skin continues to be irritated, having a vet look is always a good idea.
