Dog’s skin is made much differently than humans. Many pet owners assume that if their shampoo is safe for them it is safe for their dogs as well. This is not the case! The reality is even baby shampoo is 150 times too acidic for dog’s skin.
So what is the pawfect pH level for my pup?
The optimal pH level in pets is 7.0-7.52 while the optimal pH level in humans is 5.2-5.5
Dog’s skin is very susceptible to skin infections if their pH is disrupted. Human epidermis is close to twice the thickness of dogs. Dog’s epidermis can easily be stripped away by topical products that are not pH balanced for their skin. Using improperly balanced products can result in inflammation and irritation.
Always check your labels to ensure the shampoo, soap, conditioner, or any other topical product is safe for your pup.
