My main concern now is about when they play. They’ve had a few fights but it’s usually over bones and we’re training them now to share. So far, the dogs are getting along fairly well. They are both the same breed (Alaskan husky) and roughly the same size. One is a 4 year old male and the other is a new dog we adopted over a week ago who is a 2 year old female. If your dog is extremely dirty you might consider a dish detergent.ĥ: How can you tell if neck biting between dogs is too rough? (score 121223 in 2014) Question If you are not bathing often, and your are not buying shampoo with a lot of extras, anything will do. You can do a bunch of research and consider all the alternatives but in the end you will find all shampoo is liquid detergent. There are multiple considerations and options with shampoos. The basic difference between human and dog shampoo is PH (though there is some controversy about PH levels). As an added bonus I found it much easier to use a bar of soap to wash both my giant mutt and a pocket sized min-pin, just rub the bar all over their coats, give the doggies a good massage, rinse and prepare for a shake-off :) Answer 3 (score 4) To wash my dogs I get natural, scent free soap bars from a health store and feel free to splurge on a good quality bar because, unlike the liquid shampoos, it will last and last and last. I agree with the comments on PH levels, and having said that most dog shampoos are loaded with detergent instead of gentle glycerin based soaps which would be PH neutral. Not only are they very expensive but have very strong smells, I admit I’m very sensitive to smells but that’s nothing comparing to what the dog is smelling.
Personally… I absolutely HATE dog shampoos. So, basically, it seems to be safe, but it may not be the most effective type of shampoo for your dog’s coat (you may need to wash him several times with human shampoo to get him clean, or a dog shampoo may contain whiteners that will make him look better). Human hair shampoos are less likely to have ingredients for whitening, promoting deshedding, or serious deodorizing. They are also mostly formulated to soften hair, which may not be desirable when scissoring a Bichon or maintaining a terrier coat. Human shampoos are designed for daily or weekly use and may not clean a dirty dog well. There are, however, good reasons to use a good pet shampoo on dogs: Shampoos formulated for canine hair are designed to clean well and are often geared toward specific jobs or coat types. In fact, many pet shampoos share that pH range with human shampoos. There is no scientific evidence that shampoo having a pH of 5.0-‐6.0 is harmful to pet skin.
