We have different treats, food and toys for pets. Do they need a different shampoo too?

Yes & Wwe’ve got the scoop on this hairy situation, so let’s dive right in!

1. Skin pH of Dogs

Human skin has a pH level of around 5.5, while a dog’s skin has a pH level of 6.2 to 7.4. And pet shampoos are formulated to match the pH of your pet’s skin.

So, while your shampoo might leave you with shiny locks, it might not be the right match for your furry pal!

2. Formulated for Pets:

Pet shampoos are specifically designed to address common issues like fleas, ticks, dry skin, and allergies that your pets might encounter.

These formulas take into account your pet’s breed, size, and skin type, making them a safer and more appropriate choice for bath time.

So, while coconut-scented human shampoo might make you feel like you’re on a tropical vacation, your pet might not share the same sentiment.

3. The Tearful Truth about Tears:

Ever noticed how some shampoos boast about being “tear-free”?

Well, that’s because human shampoos often contain stronger chemicals and fragrances that can be harsh on your pet’s sensitive eyes.

Pet shampoos, on the other paw, are formulated to be gentler, ensuring a paw-sitively pleasant bath time for your pet!

4. Lathering Agents:

Pet shampoos have lathering agents that are safe for pets when they lick or ingest small amounts of foam during bathing.

Human shampoos might not contain similar lathering agents.

Choosing the right shampoo for your pet goes beyond just keeping them clean – it’s about their health and comfort too.

So, the next time it needs a bath, just consider reaching for a shampoo that’s designed especially for them!
