Fragrances in grooming products are an underestimated problem for many dogs. They stress the skin, cause irritation, and can worsen existing skin issues. Sensitive or already stressed skin reacts quickly. Acting early is crucial to prevent long-term skin damage.

Typical symptoms of skin reactions caused by fragrances:

• Redness and irritated skin
• Itching and frequent scratching
• Dull, lackluster coat
• Thickened or sensitive skin areas
• Increased dandruff

Dogs cannot avoid fragrances like humans can – their skin barrier is directly affected. Using fragrance-free products helps protect their skin sustainably.

Causes: Fragrances and Skin Problems in Dogs

Fragrances often act as foreign substances on the skin, disturbing its natural balance. The skin barrier and the skin microbiome are particularly affected.

Common causes of skin problems due to fragrances:

• Chemical irritants: Fragrances often contain allergenic substances
• Skin barrier stress: Skin becomes thinner, more sensitive, and vulnerable
• Microbiome imbalance: Good skin bacteria are displaced, destabilizing the skin flora
• Hypersensitivity in sensitive dogs: Especially puppies or dogs with pre-existing skin issues react strongly
• Combination with other factors: Environmental stress, parasites, or dryness can amplify the effects

Avoiding fragrances reduces irritation, protects the microbiome, and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier function.
