Dog shampoo vs people shampoo. What is the difference. My vet wants $24/bottle for dog shampoo!!!?
Even at the pet stores the dog shampoo is $8 a bottle and more. What is the ingredient that they take out of people shampoo or add to dog shampoo? Is there really a difference? ( Assume the dog has no skin allergies. ) Is it OK to use people shampoo/conditioner on the dog?
I do give my dog a bath rather frequently – she swims in the smelly (but safe) lake every day – and she is a long hair dog, so I can use up that $8 bottle with a few shampoos! We rinse off every day, but at least once a week I have to use some shampoo.
MOIST, clean skin is your dog’s best first line of defense against pathogens and infection. Great that you do your best to ensure she has this!
Sulfates in human shampoos completely remove oils in our hair (heck I can’t even use most of ‘em due to this!), and also do so for dogs. It causes dry skin, itchiness, and many eventually lick or chew excessively and hotspots, skin infections, and other problems result. Stripping sebaceous glands of their oils also removes any topical flea/tick medications.
Sulfates in dog/cat shampoos can also have these effects, but are usually less abundant in shampoos labeled for pets. I buy in bulk, by the gallon, keep the pump near the tub with the 8 foot hose and nozzle, and bathe weekly as well. DVM Pharmaceutical coat products are great and proven safe for meds, do NOT cause dryness, and they have a great omega fatty acid/moisture rich restoring treatment, the “Relief” line. However, these are very expensive, as they have been tested and proven “soapless,” non-drying, safe and effective, and non-stripping by DVM, and are a safe choice for her. NO tea tree oil (malaleuca) either, as this is abrasive/stripping, potentially toxic if licked, and unnecessary.
CloudStar’s Buddy Wash and Buddy Rinse are sulfate-free, have few ingredients, and are pretty concentrated, so a small amount can be diluted over her body. My gallon with pump lasts 2 months with 5 dogs. I use DVM’s PearLyt and HyLyt for patients in hospital, but vets also get a great discount at cost of in-hospital products, and DVM is distributed to hospitals only, which may be what your vet is recommending.
Yes, many use human shampoos on dogs, but they shouldn’t, and skin compared to a dog without human shampoo use is markedly more dry, less elastic, and less healthy.

Keys: NO human shampoo, NO sulfates, brush out prior to bath (if dry), small amount of shampoo, THOROUGHLY rinse off to prevent dried soapy hair which leads to infections/scratching, restore moisture stripped by applying conditioner or leave-in treatment.
