Every generation seems to gravitate toward certain dog breeds. Sometimes it’s lifestyle. Sometimes it’s space. Sometimes it’s temperament or maintenance level. Over time, those preferences quietly shape the kinds of skin and coat challenges owners see most often.
Below is a look at popular dog breeds by generation and the common skin considerations that come with them, followed by how to support skin health gently across all breeds.
Poodles are prized for intelligence, trainability, and low shedding coats. Their curly hair, however, can trap moisture and debris close to the skin if not maintained carefully.
Regular grooming and skin-friendly care help prevent dryness, irritation, and mat-related discomfort.
Golden Retrievers are known for their friendly temperament and dense double coats. That coat offers protection but can also hold heat, moisture, and allergens close to the skin.
Many Golden owners manage seasonal itching, hot spots, and coat buildup with consistent bathing and gentle topical support.
Labradors are active, outdoorsy, and enthusiastic. Their short coats dry quickly, but frequent exposure to water, grass, and environmental allergens can lead to skin sensitivity.
Routine skin checks and pH-balanced products help keep irritation from becoming chronic.
French Bulldogs are compact and affectionate, but their skin folds require extra attention. Moisture trapped in folds can contribute to irritation if not managed properly.
Gentle, non-stinging topical care supports daily maintenance without overwhelming sensitive skin.
Australian Shepherds thrive on activity. Their medium-length coats protect them during work and play, but frequent exposure to dirt and sweat can challenge skin balance.
Regular grooming and calming skin support help maintain comfort through high-output lifestyles.
Different breeds face different challenges, but healthy skin follows the same principles: balance, consistency, and gentle care.

My horse had a huge hematoma I spent months trying to get it to heal. The vet ended up lancing it but it was still having issues draining due to swelling. I had done just about everything I could; poultice 12on/12off, cold hose twice a day, bute, and antibiotics. I felt like I couldn’t stay on top of it. ONE day of using this liniment the results showed immediately. The swelling decreased by 50% and he overall looked a lot more comfortable. A few days later it was healed up and scabbed over.
Christine, thank you for taking the time to share this. That kind of long, frustrating situation is exactly why we built Draw It Out® the way we did. When you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to move the needle, even small progress matters.
We’re grateful you gave the 64oz High Potency Gel a chance and even more grateful it helped your horse finally turn the corner. Stories like this don’t happen overnight and they don’t happen by accident. They happen when care is consistent and the formula does its job quietly.
Thank you for trusting us with your horse. That means everything to us.
