WHAT IS ALLERDERM® SHAMPOO FOR DRY & SCALY SKIN?

From cold weather to indoor heating, our pets are vulnerable to many of the same dry skin triggers as us. Help them to find relief with Allerderm Dry & Scaly, an ultra-kind pet shampoo designed to combat dry, flaky skin in pets with normal or dry skin types.

With its mild, soap-free formula and neutral pH, Allerderm Dry & Scaly gently cleanses your pet’s skin and helps to maintain its delicate natural balance. It contains glycerin and urea, a powerful combination that infuses moisture back into your pet’s dry skin.

Glycerin:

  • Acts as a humectant, drawing water into the deeper layers of the skin
  • Acts as an emollient, sealing in the moisture for lasting hydration
  • Helps to restore and build up the skin’s natural protective barrier

Urea:

  • Also acts as a humectant and an emollient for even greater hydration
  • Gently breaks down and exfoliates dead skin cells
  • Helps to smooth out rough, dry patches

Allerderm Dry & Scaly has a light mandarin scent to keep your pet smelling fresh. It's suitable for cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds, making it an ideal pet shampoo for multi-pet homes. It’s gentle enough to be used as a puppy or kitten shampoo for your younger pets, too.
 

RECOMMENDED FOR

  • Dogs and cats with dry, flaky, or scaly skin.
  • Pets affected by cold weather, indoor heating, or low humidity.
  • Normal to dry skin types needing extra moisture.
  • Regular use in puppies, kittens, and multi-pet households.

Allerderm Shampoo Dry & Scaly Skin FAQs
  • What is Allerderm Shampoo Dry & Scaly Skin used for?

    Allerderm Dry & Scaly pet shampoo is designed to gently cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise the skin in pets with normal or dry skin types. It’s best suited for cats or dogs with dry skin due to skin type or environmental factors, like cold weather or indoor heating, rather than pets with dry skin caused by infections or allergies.

  • What are the benefits of using Allerderm Shampoo Dry & Scaly Skin?

    Allerderm Dry & Scaly helps to gently exfoliate and restore moisture to your pet’s dry, flaking skin. It contains glycerin and urea, a powerful combination that draws and locks moisture into the deeper layers of the skin.

  • Can you use normal shampoo on cats and dogs?

    It is not recommended to use shampoo made for humans on your dog or cat. Ingredients in human products may not be suitable or safe for pets and may make their sensitive skin symptoms worse. To be safe, use a specially formulated cat or dog shampoo, like Allerderm Sensitive Skin pet shampoo.

  • Is Allerderm Shampoo Dry & Scaly Skin safe for all pets?

    Yes, Allerderm Dry & Scaly is suitable for all sizes and breeds of dog and cat. The ultra-gentle ingredients mean that it’s also a suitable kitten or puppy shampoo for young pets. However, if you suspect that allergies or a skin infection are causing your pet’s dry, scaly skin, consult your vet for advice before using a new pet shampoo. Your vet may recommend a more suitable shampoo, such as Pyoderm or Allermyl, as part of your pet’s treatment plan.

  • How often can I use Allerderm Shampoo Dry & Scaly Skin?

    Use Allerderm Dry & Scaly pet shampoo up to 2-3 times per week, or as directed by your vet.
