Can I bathe my dog ​​with my shampoo or gel?

It may be illogical not to be able to bathe your pet with your usual shampoo or gel , since the result you are looking for is hygiene. But everything that differentiates a human from a dog does not leave behind the skin and its care.

A dog's skin must maintain a different pH balance than ours:

• His mantle is acidic
• The most alkaline skin.

Therefore, our hygiene products may be too acidic for dogs .

If we use our hygiene products on dogs, their coat can be clean, soft and smooth, which may seem to work on them. However, it is the dog's skin that suffers from these products, drying it out, eliminating the skin's protective oils and even making them more susceptible to parasites.

What soap or product can I bathe my dog ​​with?

Taking into account what was mentioned in the previous point:

1. We can use our shampoo occasionally in a moment of urgency or not have another specific shampoo at that time, but not on a regular basis.
2. Another remedy that we can use to bathe our furry dogs in a time of need is to resort to apple cider vinegar . Once you have bathed the dog well with water, apply apple cider vinegar to the coat and then rinse it with plenty of water.
3. Finally, it is advisable that you get a specific shampoo for your pet. This way you will take care of their skin, their coat and you will obtain incredible results.
