Dogs are distinguished from humans by their skin much finer and thus more fragile: dogs skin comprise 5 layers of cells corneas different from the human skin which comprises 9 of them.

The other difference relates to the pH. The human skin has an acid pH of approximately 5.5. The human shampoos take into account and are also in general acid.

On the contrary, the pH of dogs skin is rather basic (between 8 or 8.5).

The human shampoos, even soft, will not respect the balance of the pH of the dog skin and are consequently, it is not advised to use them.

Even for an adapted shampoo, it is necessary to avoid too frequent washings. A skin too often washed will become very fragile and sensitive to eczemas. One or two shampoos per month is a maximum frequency. In the event of local " accident”, you can always locally use a lotion “without rinsing”.
The dry shampoos make it possible “to cleanse” and to scent the hair without wetting the animal and subjecting him/her to aggressive detergent agents.
