With fall allergy season just ending and winter coming on, the dogs are in need of some skin care items. Ty’s feet are healing up from allergy hot spots, and both dogs tend to get dry skin in winter. I had heard some fabulous things about Bayer® ExpertCare™ products, particularly their Spot-On Skin Moisturizer, so I was eager to try it. So, Eve and I went on a field trip to PetSmart to pick some up. We were provided with a gift card in order to make our purchase.
Bayer ExpertCare makes home pet care products specially formulated for your cat or dog. You can find them exclusively at PetSmart in the health care aisle. In my store that is at the back of the store. They offer a range of products such as support for skin, ears, and digestive health.
Eve and I picked up four products:
- ExpertCare Spot-On Skin Moisturizer is formulated with essential fatty acids to help support skin hydration. The quick, convenient application can help maintain your cat’s/dog’s full, healthy coat and support coat shine. I really like the ingredient list, which consists of multiple oils.
- Bayer ExpertCare Ear Care Rinse is a fresh-scented antiseptic cleansing rinse containing wax-dissolving and drying agents with aloe vera.
- Bayer ExpertCare Coat Cleansing Foam is a convenient, leave-in moisturizing foam that is great for use on water-reluctant cats or dogs. This soap-free formula contains natural ingredients to support skin hydration and help manage bad odor while
supporting hair coat shine. - ExpertCare Wound Spray Gel for dogs is composed of cross-linked modified hyaluronic acid, which helps create a suitable environment to aid in cell migration, supporting the natural healing of skin wounds.
I chose these items with Ty and eve’s skin-care needs in mind. I’m going to use the wound spray gel on the remainder or Ty’s hot spots and he will benefit from the moisturizer. Eve too will get help with her dry skin from the moisturizer, and both dogs can be freshened up and kept clean with the cleansing foam and ear rinse.
Ty and Eve are ready to get fresh and moisturized!
The coat cleansing foam is a good first start. This is a leave in foam. To use it, shake it well and dispense some foam into your hand and apply directly onto your pet’s coat. You can use your hands to disperse it though the coat, but I prefer to use a brush to get it spread evenly. Allow the foam to penetrate the coat, while avoiding the eyes and muzzle. Then, towel dry the treated area, which will remove dirt. Brush the coat completely when your dog is completely dry. It is a great way to freshen up your pet between baths or in preparation for the spot on moisture treatment. It has a fresh scent that isn’t too overwhelming.
When I used the product on Eve, I applied it through her coat, rubbing it in. But, as I noted previously, I also used a brush to better disperse it through the coat and assure that it went on more evenly. I also brushed her again when her coat was fully dry. The product has a fresh scent, so it left Eve smelling quite good – something that is important to me since she often gets that distinct dog smell. Eve seemed happy enough with it and it is good for Ty as well, since he hates water. Anytime I can give fewer baths, I am happy!
You can find Bayer Expert Care products exclusively at PetSmart.

I didn’t know about the wound spray. That’s a great thing to keep in a doggy first aid kit. I need to pick up some for my pups.
Great post – and yup, we keep da wound spray in our first aid kit, super important! Ty is a cutie patootie!
Do you know if there are products for cats, too? I like the idea of a moisturiser. Winter is coming and the aire in the house can get super dry.

There is indeed a version for cats! You can get it at PetSmart.
Eve looks so cute shopping! I might have to check this out for Nelly, we have her food allergies under control, but those seasonal ones are a different story!
We’ll have to check out what PetSmart has in the way of Bayer products for cats.
I could use a wound spray for our first aid kit!
These sound like great products. I would love the wound spray for my fur babies.
I like the idea of a cleansing foam for our long cold winters when I don’t like to bathe Ted too much. He sometimes needs a freshening up.
I have never heard of this, sounds great, thanks!!!!
Not familiar with these products, we often get Canadian products up here. Sounds good, though.
It’s nice to be able to pamper your dog between baths. 🙂 I look forward to hearing more about the products and how well they work for you!
I like the sound of these products, I’m going to try the cleansing foam & the wound gel. I could really use products like these, thanks for the recommendation!

Mary and I picked up the Spot-On Moisturizer, the Probiotics and The Ear Cleansing Rinse to prevent the wax build up. Bayer ExpertCare has some excellent products. I think we are going to go back and pick up the Coat Cleaning Foam too, for in-between bath times.
Great info!!
The cleansing foam sounds like a great idea for us because we don’t like baths.
Ooh these Bayer products sound great. We will be back at PetSmart next week so I’ll check them out for Kilo the Pug.
Next time I’m at Petsmart I’ll have to check out Bayer products. It’s crazy how many major companies are in the pet industry now.
These sound like great products! Dry skin is a big issue around my home during the winter too. I will have to take a look at the Bayer products next time I’m at PetSmart.
We have a few of the Bayer ExpertCare products and are using the spot on moisturizer now. Your dogs are adorable.
I have never heard about this company thank you for sharing!!! 🙂
I was surprised at all of the great pet care products from Bayer!
