JAJ2010 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Obviously rogane is most likely toxic.. Can I put aloe on Rainy's bald spots? They are starting to look a bit scaly. They used to not be as noticeable, but I think her skin color might be changing a bit? Or I could be nuts.... Is there any topical stuff for dogs that promote hair growth? She gets 2 fish oil pills a day for her coat. Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketDog Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) I use a drop or two of virgin coconut oil on my dogs' bare spots if they look a little chappy. Totally safe for them to lick off, and it's a great moisturizer! As far as hair regrowth, my dogs have been on Hair of the Dog for three and a half weeks and I am starting to see some new little hairs popping up on Rocket's butt. Nothing on Cassie's yet, but I still have hope Edited February 8, 2009 by RocketDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeh2o Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 When Carl's bald thighs and belly get dry I put some Aveeno on them, he's as smooth as silk for days.

DaisyDoodle Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I don't know if Rogaine is toxic for dogs, but originally, it was approved by the FDA as a blood pressure medication for humans. However, when people took it orally, then grew hair ALL OVER. So, it's not used for that purpose anymore, that I know of. I'd be concerned if a dog licked it it might lower the dog's BP too much. Obviously, it wouldn't hurt for a dog to grow fur all over. Actually, since Rogaine grows HAIR (which grows continually) rather than FUR (which, I believe, grows seasonally), I wonder if it would work on a GH? I'd be more certain if we were talking about a poodle.

rycezmom Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 We like our bald spots here. Wouldn't think to try and grow it back. We just moisturize during the dry season.

Nothing on Cassie's yet, but I still have hope Do you have a link to "Hair of the Dog"? I tried googling but only came up with tea companies... Maybe you are having tea time everyday? I'll try some coconut oil. Thanks! It'll smell like a tropical island at home. When Carl's bald thighs and belly get dry I put some Aveeno on them, he's as smooth as silk for days. Maybe I'll try that. I use Avon moisture therapy on myself. I'm just scared she's going to lick it.
