The difference between human skin and canine skin is the reason regular shampoo isn’t the right choice for a pet.

Selecting the right shampoo is important, whether it is for routine use or medicated to meet a specific purpose.

It is recommended that a dog be kept entertained while Genesis is drying (play catch, apply right before a meal, give a toy, etc.) to keep the dog from licking.

The most important thing to understand is that allergies cannot be cured. A thorough exam and diagnosis of the type of allergy from a veterinarian is key. Allergies can be managed with a multi-treatment approach. Veterinarians may prescribe medicated shampoos, steroids, essential fatty acids and allergy injections to relieve your pet’s discomfort and reduce symptoms.

As with any topical steroid, there can be some absorption through the skin.

Allow Genesis to dry before petting your dog without gloves. The drying time is approximately 15 minutes. This time can vary depending on how much Genesis was sprayed, the dog’s skin condition, thickness of hair coat and the climate.

Pregnant women should not handle Genesis.

Wait at least 24 hours after applying Genesis before bathing a pet.
