Shiba Inu puppy skin care regimen:
Young Shiba Inus have thin skin, which is more vulnerable than human skin, and they can have allergic reactions to food and external environments.
Some young Shiba Inus have dry skin that is prone to allergies, while others have oily skin that can carry a strong body odor if left unwashed often.
The most common type of allergic reaction is atopic dermatitis caused by flea saliva, which can be accompanied by rashes, hives, and severe scratching.
Shiba Inu’s get sunburned and develop skin cancer just like humans do

Shiba Inu’s can get sunburned and develop skin cancer just like humans. You can prepare some spray sunscreen for your dog, which is very important for young Shiba Inu puppies who are hairless and have very light skin as well as light-colored noses. To be on the safe side, it is best to choose a specialized non-toxic sunscreen. Light-skinned puppies that are exposed to the sun for more than a few minutes will need sunscreen and constant “touch-ups”.
Some young Shiba Inu puppies can be extra sensitive to bath products, like shampoos, conditioners and de-wormers. If your young Shiba Inu has an inexplicable skin reaction, look first to see if he has recently switched to a new bath product or food. Natural products that are gentle and contain skin lubricating ingredients are great choices for young Shiba Inu with sensitive skin.
