Hygiene wipes

Why this product is in the Depot

I included these wipes because maintaining skin hygiene is a daily task for a senior dog owner. As dogs age, they may spend more time lying down or dealing with minor incontinence, which exposes their skin to irritants. Wipes provide a quick, stress-free way to remove environmental allergens and bodily fluids before they can cause inflammation or infection.

How I use it

I’ve increasingly relied on baby wipes to keep Maya clean and comfortable. I use them for a quick “wipe down” after she’s been laying in the grass to remove pollen and allergens. Most importantly, I use them to ensure that acidic urine doesn’t linger on her skin—a common challenge when dealing with a weak sphincter. It’s a simple step that prevents skin irritation and keeps her feeling fresh between more thorough cleanings.

Why I recommend it

I recommend using gentle baby wipes as a cost-effective alternative to pet-specific brands. They are designed for sensitive skin, making them a safe choice for frequent use on your dog. They are incredibly convenient to keep in your car, your walking bag, or right by the door for a quick clean up that doesn’t require water or a towel.

Considerations

  • Fragrance-Free is Essential: Always choose “unscented” or “fragrance-free” wipes. A dog’s sense of smell is highly sensitive, and the chemicals used in perfumes can also irritate their skin.

  • Avoid Sensitive Areas: While great for fur and skin, avoid using these directly on the eyes or inside the ears unless they are specifically labelled for that use. For eyes, a water-only rinse is usually safer.

  • Check Ingredients: Look for wipes that are alcohol-free and hypoallergenic to ensure they don’t dry out your dog’s skin with repeated use.
