You finally calm the scratching. The redness fades. The bald spot even starts to grow back. And then—just weeks later—it’s all back again. If this cycle sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
Chronic skin issues are one of the most frustrating problems pet owners face. And while many blame allergies or sensitivity, there’s one common cause that often flies under the radar: fungal infections in dogs.
Why Fungal Infections in Dogs Are So Often Misdiagnosed
Fungal infections can be deceptive. They don’t always present with the angry, weeping sores you might expect. Instead, they may start with something small—like mild flaking, a faint musty odor, or a greasy spot behind the ear. In many cases, they’re misread as allergies or bacterial infections, and treated with steroids or antibiotics.
But here’s the kicker: steroids may reduce inflammation temporarily, but they suppress the immune system—allowing fungi to thrive. And antibiotics? They kill bacteria, not fungus.
That’s why fungal infections in dogs can keep coming back. If the root cause isn’t addressed, the symptoms will simply cycle through again and again. And each time they do, they tend to get a little worse.
Signs You’re Dealing with a Fungal Infection
Still not sure what’s behind your dog’s skin issues? Here are common signs that suggest a fungal infection might be to blame:
- A musty or sour odor that won’t wash off
- Oily, flaky, or blackened skin
- Patchy hair loss, especially in circular areas
- Constant licking, scratching, or chewing—especially around paws, groin, or ears
- Symptoms that seem to improve with treatment but always return
Why Common Shampoos Aren’t Enough
It’s easy to assume that any “medicated” or “itch relief” shampoo will solve the problem. However, the majority of common dog shampoos are made to calm rather than to treat. They might soothe sensitive skin or clean the coat, but they lack the antifungal strength required to eradicate spores and stop regrowth.
Considerably worse, some shampoos include alcohols, sulfates, or scents that dehydrate the skin and weaken its natural defenses, which makes it considerably simpler for dog fungal infections to recur.
Why Puainta® Banov Shampoo Breaks the Cycle
What sets Puainta apart is its focus on both eliminating infection and supporting skin recovery. This isn’t just another soothing rinse. It’s a therapeutic formula powered by premium botanical extracts that are as effective as they are gentle.
Key Ingredients:
- Sophora Flavescens – A traditional herbal antifungal that actively fights fungal overgrowth
- Chamomile & Rosemary Extracts – Natural soothers that reduce itching and inflammatio.

Without the harsh chemicals or synthetic antifungals found in many alternatives. Puainta is vet-recommended, non-toxic, and suitable for dogs of all breeds and sizes.
And perhaps most importantly—it works. When used consistently, Puainta Banov Shampoo not only treats active flare-ups but helps prevent new ones from forming.
How to Prevent Fungal Infections from Returning
Even the best shampoo needs a little support. To keep your dog’s skin clear long-term, follow these proven tips:
Dry thoroughly after walks, swimming, or baths—fungus loves dampness
Use Puainta Banov Shampoo every few days during active infection, then weekly as maintenance
Wash bedding, collars, and grooming tools regularly
Avoid overusing steroids or antibiotics without a confirmed diagnosis
Watch for early signs in high-risk areas: paws, belly, armpits, ears, and groin
Final Notes
It’s time to stop masking symptoms—and start solving the problem. Many chronic issues are caused or worsened by fungal infections in dogs, and unless you tackle them head-on, they’ll keep coming back.
Puainta® Banov Shampoo for Skin Disease is more than a bath product—it’s part of a smarter, more effective care routine. Its blend of botanical antifungals, skin conditioners, and vet-trusted ingredients makes it a top choice for dogs dealing with persistent skin issues.
So if your dog’s skin problems won’t stay gone, don’t keep guessing. Start with a solution that actually treats the cause—and keeps it from coming back.
