I thoroughly agree with this; the pH is a really important difference, and it probably won't happen overnight, but in time, will leave the hair looking fried, and can also lead to serious dry skin problems. It's easier to prevent skin problems then cure them. There are many great dog shampoos, find one that works best for her coat type.
