I think I am getting bogged down with too much water talk now.  I am diluting my own conversation. |
LOL
The pH of a dog's skin is about 7, while the pH of human skin is about 5.5 - it is my understanding that most shampoos have a pH of about 5.5 to 6.5. And, most shampoos make no mention of pH level, human or pet shampoos. Some manufacturers actually re-purpose baby shampoo and bottle it for dogs (from a personal source inside a major pet products retailer). Anyway, I like the way the shampoo works, and thought I would make sure that anyone who wanted to use it would have all of the information. I didn't choose a pH of 9 and try to hit that. I wanted it to be higher than 7 for sure is all. If you think 9 is too high, by all means, don't use it (and, you obviously don't).
The reasons I use the shampoo are completely based on my own personal opinions. I like it.
I like the smell, I like the lather, I like the pH, I like the cleaning ability, and I like the ingredients. I have been using it exclusively for 2 years and love the results every day. After I bathe Catherine, she is soft and smells great and her coat looks fuller (she has fine hair). When I bathe Stitch, his extremely cottony coat lays flat and is shiny and very soft. I just thought I had a great product and I would be absolutely selfish to keep it to myself.
If you don't want to use it, that's absolutely fine with me. I sent you a free sample because I hoped that you would like it, too. You don't and that's fine.
