Every time my Jack Russell gets in water, even her own kiddie pool her belly breaks out in red small bumps. They do go away after a week of no swimming but she loves her pool. What should I do?

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your question. I would recommend bathing Annie immediately after bathing. I would recommend using a shampoo such as Douxo PS Calm shampoo and conditioner, which can be found online quite easily. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. Please remember to rate this answer as helpful or not. Thank you!
