The skin of young Shiba Inu dogs is very thin and is more susceptible to damage than human skin. They can cause allergic reactions due to food and the external environment. Some puppies have dry skin and are prone to allergies, while others have oily skin and will have a strong body odor if they are not washed frequently. The most common form of allergic reaction is atopic dermatitis caused by flea saliva, and may be accompanied by rashes, hives, and severe itching. Shiba Inu dogs, like humans, can get sunburned and develop skin cancer.

The most common form of allergic reaction is allergic dermatitis caused by flea saliva. Allergic reactions can also occur simultaneously with rashes, hives, and severe itching.

Shiba Inu dogs, like humans, can get sunburned and develop skin cancer. You can prepare some spray sunscreen for your dog, which is very important for puppies with hairless, very light skin and light-colored noses. To be on the safe side, it's best to choose a dedicated non-toxic sunscreen. If your light-skinned Shiba Inu is exposed to the sun for more than a few minutes, you'll need to apply sunscreen and keep it "touched up."

Some young Shiba Inu puppies are particularly sensitive to toiletries, such as shampoo, conditioner and insect repellent. If your Shiba Inu puppy has inexplicable skin reactions, first check to see if he has recently switched to new bath products or food. For puppies with sensitive skin, mild natural products containing skin lubricating ingredients are a good choice.
