Taking care of your dog is a huge commitment and involves daily exercise, healthy diet, attention, affection, socialisation and so much more.

Nevertheless, you may be making a major faux pas if you use human shampoo on your dog. As much as you might want to use your shampoo on your dog, please don't.

We compiled these top 5 justifications for using dog shampoo on a regular basis. Read on to find out why you should only use shampoos designed for canines.

Human Shampoo Does Not Work on Dogs

The skin and hair of dogs and humans are completely different. Many brands of human shampoo contain harsh detergents that are too abrasive for a dog's coat and might cause irritation to the skin. Human cleaning products can interfere with your dog's natural defenses, leaving them open to skin dryness and infections.

A natural dog shampoo is mild, so it won't strip the coat of its natural oils. It's gentle on their coat and skin yet still removes grime and dirt. To those who say it's fine to wash a puppy with baby shampoo, know that this is completely false. It won't keep their coat properly hydrated and protected, and it will dry out their skin.

Anti-Flea and Anti-Tick Shampoo

Invest in a natural neem flea and tick-repellent shampoo. It's a useful tool for exterminating unwanted pests. You should expect to wait at least 10 minutes while the shampoo does its work. This process requires some waiting time. Insects are killed by shampoo, and their eggs are prevented from hatching.

Natural shampoos designed to kill fleas on dogs are gentle yet efficient. Comply with your veterinarian's recommendations at all times.

Itch-Free & Hypoallergenic Shampoo.

Is your dog sensitive to the substances commonly found in dog shampoos, such as perfumes and preservatives? Then you should use a hypoallergenic shampoo. Be sure fleas are ruled out as the cause of your pet's itching problem before moving on to the possibility of food allergies. Itchy skin can be a sign of a food allergy, which is a common trigger. Common allergens include corn, wheat, and soy.

If your dog is itching, an anti-itch spray can help. With our spray nozzle, you can target the exact spot of the itchy area.

The Treatment of Mange

Veterinarians often recommend medicated shampoos for dogs with mange. Mites are the cause for mange which is a skin disorder. The parasitic mites burrow into your pet's skin and spread disease. The mites cause irritation, balding, and rashes. Your dog's immune system may also be compromised by a severe case of mange.

Regular bathing with a dog shampoo specifically for mange should help and keep your dog safe from harmful microorganisms and illnesses.

Premium Dog Wash

Consider your dog's specific needss while making your shampoo selection. Three different shampoos are presented here.

Shampoo that helps white dogs' hair look brighter. It aids in keeping their coats white and shiny, however a blue dye is used in whitening shampoo. The blue dye reflects the light, thereby creating an illusion of a brighter, whiter coat. There are currently no blue pigments on the market that are natural, so please be aware a brightening shampoo will contain synthetic dyes.

Dry shampoo powder, spray-on deodorisers or paw and body cleaner foam do not require water for use. These products are fine for a quick cure or temporary touch-up, but it can't compare to the thoroughness of wet shampoo.

Shampoo for sensitive skin. Bathing is necessary if your pet comes into contact with a dead rodent or has any other smelly experience. However, try to limit bathing your dog to once a fortnight.
