Itching & Red Skin after Insect Bites (Dog)Updated 8 days ago
Gentle help when your dog can’t stop scratching. 🐶💚
Summer walks are wonderful – until insects join in. If your dog starts scratching or you notice red, irritated skin, Doderm can help quickly and gently.
How to recognise irritation
Sudden itching or licking
Redness or mild swelling
Sensitive or warm spot
The good news: Most insect-bite irritations are superficial and calm down quickly with gentle care.
Step by step: How to help your dog
1️⃣ Clean gently
Rinse the area with lukewarm water and pat dry – never rub.
2️⃣ Apply Doderm thinly
Use a small amount of Hydro RepairGel Pet 2–3× daily on the irritated skin.
– For stronger reactions, start with SOS Hydro RepairGel for 1–2 days, then continue with Hydro RepairGel Pet.
3️⃣ Be consistent
Apply for 2–5 days until redness and itching clearly improve. Continue for another day or two to stabilise the skin barrier.
4️⃣ Distract briefly
A little play or treat search helps until the gel is absorbed – it sinks in quickly and isn’t greasy.
Why Doderm works so well
Gentle & effective: Soothes irritation without cortisone or antibiotics.
Barrier support: Ceramides & moisturisers strengthen the natural skin barrier.
pH-friendly: Formulated for sensitive dog skin.
Common questions
How often should I apply it?
Start 2–3× per day; in acute phases, you may use SOS briefly more often.
When will I see improvement?
Usually within 24–48 hours – keep applying for lasting results.
What if my dog licks it?
Small amounts are harmless. Try distracting your dog until the gel absorbs.
Can I use it preventively?
Yes – apply a thin layer before walks on exposed areas (belly, inner thighs) to support the skin barrier.
When to see your vet
Severe swelling, spreading or weeping lesions
Lethargy, fever, vomiting
Face or mouth area affected or breathing issues
No improvement after 3–4 days of consistent care
When in doubt, always check with your vet – safety first.
