Crested photos & skin care

 Gizmo in Australia - added October 2006

hello my name is peta fenton, i live in sydney Australia. Thats my baby boy gizmo. I rescued him from being taken to the pound. (i have attached some fotos of an irritation that he gets once every few months, if you have any suggestions how to care for the wound/irritation it would be great as i have tried everything i can think of!) I also have a powder puff, her name is Mia. and a Pommeranian, Nunzio.

Enjoy, Peta

Hi, my name is Mesha... I am getting my first chinese crested in 2 weeks. I have been talking with my breeder for several weeks and she said that with her first crested he had many many scars from outbreaks and poor skin. Then she put him on Innova EVO, grain free food and it cleared right up and never came back. So anyway, don't know if that helps or not. :) Her other dogs have beautiful skin now too.

Hi!! My Chinese Crested Hairless also gets ugly raw spots on his neck. I thought it was where my other dogs were rough housing and biting the neck in rough play. Now I'm wondering if he doesn't have a skin problem also. Let me know if you find out what's going on with our babies. Thanks for any info you can share. By the way your crested is beautiful. Can not believe he was headed to the pound.

I too have a crested., she is a deer-type hairless. first thing I would advise is stop vaccinations. give only the puppy shots and no more. Have the dog tittered instead.(a test the vet can do to see if they still have antibodies for viruses)
My crested is 1 year old and no problems with skin. shes on the lifes abundance dog food. I give her aveeno oatmeal baths and I use brown sugar and banana scrub for her skin once a month. so far so good! be sure you have your pedigrees on an immune system builder. nuvet tabs are a good choice (nuvetlabs.com) also transfer factors. They have a weak immune system..so boost boost and boost somemore. Enjoy your crested's!!
