oatmeal shampoo is soothing to their skin. it dosent always work. Rashes are common to that breed. take him to the vet Lizzy-Marie
If it’s all flaky and dry then yes oatmeal would be good. But you can buy a shampoo at the pet shop or vet or a few dollars that’s medicated for skin problems. Hope your doggy gets to feeling better! greenrose1922
He might have allergies. Call your vet and have them test. A lot of the time allergies develop after the first year, but they can appear later too. The oatmeal shampoo will help a little, but it won’t clear up the rash. Good Luck. Tiffany
There are lotions and roll on stuff you can buy. My dog itches her neck so much it hurts her. It is on a roll or you can get anti-itch stuff from the store mstng
just go to your local store and look for a dog shampoo that says for a dogs skin and coat, it is usually not expensive it should help your dog
NOTE: Do not put regular lotion on your dog! it will make the situation worse! Lola
There are several reasons for your dogs red skin.
Most of them allergies. Herein is the problem it could be a contact allergy (like to grass) or to food, fleas…..
I think the best thing to do is to go to your vet and get advice. Hopefully it is something simple.
Good luck. DJL
If you haven’t applied flea control, please do. Jack Russels tend to be allergic to bug bites & they can also get sunburned so you’ll really need to watch him.
As for shampoos, there are several you can try. An oatmeal, tea tree oil & aloe or green tea & mint. All would be good for a dog with sensitive skin. If it is his food, try a lamb & rice which is usually good for a dog with food allergies. Deb
If you are looking for a good shampoo for you dog go to the vet and get a shampoo called efa HyLyt or Relief you can wash them 3 time a weak with the stuff it dont strip the oils that they need away.Helps with itching and dryness of skin.
Works very well.
The Relief has
Pramoxine hci
and Colloidal
Oatmeal for temp relief ofitching
Discomfort and Omega-6Fatty acids for dermal renourishing.
HyLyt has
Soap-free Hypoaallergenic shampoo for routine cleansing or normal dry or sensitive skin.it has fatty acids in it I fine this one to work for me.

He could have a allergy to frontline did it start when you started to use the frontline?If it started when you started to use it then its probably the frontline. Threase
try a dandruff shampoo . it should clear up nicely. william w
It could be an allergic reaction to something. Have you used any new detergents, cleaning supplies, dog food, treats, or really anything new. Dogs can be super sensitive to many things. If you can think of something new, you want to eliminate that from around your dog. If there is nothing new you may want to take him to the vet and see what is going on before you use any shampoos or anything that could make it flare up again or get any worse. Good Luck.
