Now more and more urban dogs live indoors for a long time, and it is very necessary to contact people every day and keep their bodies clean. So many friends want to know whether dogs can take a shower with human shower gel? The following is a detailed explanation for you:
First of all, the pH of the skin between humans and dogs is different. Dogs are weakly alkaline, and human skin is weakly acidic, so the shower gel used by humans is more alkaline based on the nature of the human skin. Dogs use alkaline bathing products, which not only cannot neutralize, but will also cause irritation and damage to the dog's skin. Dog's skin is already relatively fragile. It washes off the protective oils on the surface of the dog's skin, causes problems such as dryness and allergies, and reduces the dog's immunity and the cause of various skin diseases.
Secondly, the skin layer, the distribution of exocrine glands, and the metabolism time of dogs are different, but the required ingredients of shower gel are different. Dogs have much thinner skin than humans, so they need gentle and non-irritating shower gel.
When bathing your dog, you must use a shower gel for your dog. When purchasing for your dog, you need to pay more attention to the ingredient list. It is worth noting that you should try not to use shower gel with fragrance for your dog, because dogs like to lick their hair. Too much fragrance will have a certain adverse effect on the dog's adulthood. According to the actual situation of your dog, choosing the most suitable one is the best.
