What conditioner can i use on my dog

But, I have no idea if that's really true. I've heard that too. BUT, I also heard one of the forum members here I think it was I used to use my Pantene conditioner on my family's Westie because it made him so soft and silky.

Never hurt him a bit -- but I never went near the head; just did his body. I don't think you'd want to get near the eyes or ears with it. Yeah, it was the user bunni, she said that the pH levels were all VERY close on the products she tested. However, I can't remember if she tested shampoo and conditioner, or not. I would think that if you rinsed real well, it would work fine. Just like you can use Dawn in an emergency for fleas, as long as you rinse, rinse, and rinse some more.

But since there are dozens of superior products made for dogs, I don't see any real need to experiment with human products.

But that's just my opinion. I use human products on Salem. When he was younger I used dog products, but I never found anything that made him as soft as good quality human stuff. I don't bathe him that often, but when I do I rinse really really throughly and I've never had a problem. I still do use dog shampoo and conditioner around his face and ears though only because I'm afraid of getting the human stuff in his eyes.

I also keep Dawn on hand for when they get really, really nasty. The unfamiliarity and hassle of it all can cause anxiety if not trauma. Thankfully, dogs require bathing roughly only once in three months. Exceptions exist, however; if your dog got stuck into something messy outdoors whether it be mud or poop or animal innards. During humid and hot weather, dogs may need slightly more frequent bathing.

Before you condition a dog's coat, thoroughly cleanse it by using a gentle shampoo made specifically for canines. Remember, dogs and human beings are not made the same, even if you feel as though your pet is your soul mate.

Dogs do not have the same pH levels as humans. What's good for your hair is not necessarily good or even safe for your dog's fur and skin.
