What is the proper skin care for a Chinese Crested dog?

Answer by  Gigi23 (139)

For the hairless variety of Chinese Crested dogs, keeping the skin soft is key. Apply moisturizer regularly to prevent dryness and don't forget the sunscreen.

I have read that these dogs need to be bathed often and have moisturizer and sunscreen applied to their skin if they are outside a lot. They can burn in the sun just like people.

Their skin is really hard to care for properly. You really need to contact your vet and see what they say they will know the right answers right awya.

You need to make sure a Chinese Crested stays out of the sun because they sunburn easily since they don't have any hair to protect their skin.

Give it a bath with water, use hypoallergenic shampoo for all the body, including hair, use a moisturizing cream, for some time, wash and dry it with a confortable tower.

Caring for a Chinese Crested's skin is as important as caring for a dog with fur's coat. You want to bathe your dog regularly, using delicate shampoos for dogs on the skin. You should bathe them once a month at least. Out in the sun, be sure to put on suntan lotion.

Brush daily with a soft brush, bathe 1-2 x a month, moisturizew/hypoallerenic, fragrance-free lotion after bathand as needed. Use conditioning shampoosandexfoliating cream to remove dead skin. Use baby sunblock outdoors, wiping off when in to preventclogged pores. Do not use wool or lanolin on skin. Brush teeth daily.
