Can mud irritate dogs

Salt and sand can cause irritation to paws, as well as being potentially lethal if ingested. While these might seem harmless, even the gentle or sensitive kind contain several chemicals that are harmful to dogs. Using them on a dog can lead to skin irritation and potentially illness through swallowing the chemicals if they lick themselves afterwards. You should never use human shampoo on a dog as it can cause irritation and poor skin health. After you have shampooed your dog and removed all of the mud from their coat, ensure you rinse well as any soap left behind can cause the skin to become irritated.

Many of the dogs that died from Alabama Rot had been walking in muddy woodland areas during winter and spring months, so it’s thought that wet muddy conditions may somehow be linked to the cause. The cause of Alabama Rot is not known and so unfortunately diagnosing and treating an affected dog can be very difficult. Many of the dogs that died from Alabama Rot had been walking in muddy woodland areas during winter and spring months. It’s actually because of the increasing prevalence of what were once exotic diseases in dogs, for example Alabama Rot, a potentially fatal disease causing kidney failure. The way I have found to do this quickly and effectively is by using a combination of a special paw cleaning plunger and my own formula shampoo, which I have been perfecting for over a year. I have also used the towel method – you can get some good dog towels which soak up moisture efficiently, leaving them reasonably dry and clean enough to come in. However, the dogs may seem clean but there are still plenty of soil particles clinging to their paws with accompanying microbes.
