When you raise a dog like your own family, the hardest part is watching them struggle with allergies.

I’m in my seventies now, and this little Shih Tzu of mine — Creamy — feels just like a grandchild to me. I may not have known much about pet care when I was younger, but these days, I pay close attention to every little change in his skin and ears.

Creamy used to scratch his ears constantly and lick his paws until they turned red. It broke my heart.

That’s when I discovered Virbac Allermyl SIS Shampoo.

🌸 Before His Bath: When Creamy Looked So Uncomfortable

"Before bath – Creamy’s ears were red and itchy from allergies."

I first used the older 200ml version of the shampoo. At that time, it was a little expensive, but I was willing to try anything that could make Creamy comfortable.

Now, I’ve learned the product has been renewed to a 250ml size — a small but welcome change for pet owners like me.

The version I personally used – the 200ml Virbac Allermyl SIS Shampoo.

🌼 How Often I Really Bathe Creamy (And What the Vet Told Me)

From both my experience and advice from veterinarians:

• Healthy dogs: once every 3–4 weeks
• Sensitive skin: every 1–2 weeks
• Under treatment: up to 2–3 times a week (with medicated shampoo)

I usually bathe Creamy every 1–2 weeks, depending on how itchy he looks. The key is watching your dog’s skin, not just the calendar.

❓Q&A Corner: “Shouldn’t I Bathe Less If My Dog Has Sensitive Skin?”

This is a question many pet parents ask.
At first, I thought the same — fewer baths must be better for delicate skin, right?

But here’s what my vet explained to me:

👉 It’s not about bathing less, it’s about bathing right.
When you leave allergens, dust, or bacteria on the skin for too long, it can actually make the itching worse.

• For healthy dogs: spacing baths out is fine.
• For sensitive dogs: gentle, medicated shampoos (like Allermyl) used more regularly can soothe the skin instead of harming it.

So, the trick is choosing the right shampoo and rinsing thoroughly, not skipping baths altogether.

🐾 The Small Changes I Saw After Using This Shampoo

• Creamy scratched his ears less often
• His skin looked less dry and more hydrated
• Paw licking habits improved a little
• No leftover residue after rinsing

The lather is gentle, and rinsing feels clean. The fur can feel slightly stiff afterward, but the skin looks calmer — and that matters most for my Creamy.
