Most shampoos both dog and human, have detergents in them that help strip the skin of it's natural oils. Since the Ph of a human shampoo is not the same as that of a dog's they are doing even more harm to the skin with the human products. The skin feels it needs to produce more oil as the skin is stripped during the bath so you have the oil glands trying to hyper produce in order to replace what was taken away. Conditioners will help the fur feel softer but will not replace the natural ph of the skin. That is why the fur appears oily in just a few days after a bath. |
