Chris, Hi, I am new here. But like the arguement on using human shampoo and dog shampoo. Well you might be right in a certain extend, but naturally, I believe dogs have different skin compare to human, well, put it this way, they are being shampoo once a week, or most, twice a week. Human are washing their hair on daily basis, or every 2-3 days. So does the pH balances. SO, the human shampoo are designed for this functionality. As to why your dog is having a nice fur after using human shampoo...well, not all dogs alike. Your lovely dog, just happen to enjoy the shampoo, maybe. No comment on the effect/bad effect/good effect from human shampoo, well it is not design to hurt anyone, even dogs. The main ingredient of a shampoo/ or the function of a shampoo are suppose to cleanse the dirt that are deposited on the fur/hair of the subject. Dogs shampoos are somewhat different comparatively to human shampoo. Apart from the pH level, it is very similar to human shampoo. Well, dogs fur had a different texture as compare to human, their fur are more softer..hehe or finer. Let me share this with all on these information: Unlike people who display respiratory symptoms due to their allergies, dogs most commonly develop skin rashes. Understanding canine allergies and their management is the first step in protecting your dog. Skin is a dog's single largest organ, representing 12% of an adult canine's body weight. It is a temperature regulator, an important protector from the environment, and the primary indicator of allergic reactions. Offending environmental allergens frequently enter the dog's body through direct contact with the skin. Canine skin disease is not that unusual. The most frequent signs include redness (erythema), itching (pruritus), and hair loss (alopecia). Another common canine allergy is atopic dermatitis, an inflammatory itchy, allergic skin disease caused by a hypersensitivity to common environmental allergens such as pollen, mold, or dust mites. Atopy, the most common allergic condition in dogs— 7,000,000 are affected (in the USA) —tends to appear between six months and three years of age and often is a lifelong condition that can lead to hair less, red skin, lesions, and secondary infections. Another is flea allergy dermatitis, an allergic reaction to flea saliva. Most dogs show immediate hypersensitivity with the primary clinical sign being itchiness. Lesions from the reaction usually appear on the back, tail, or hips. Food allergy, meanwhile, is a response to ingredients that causes either skin or gastrointestinal tract disease. Skin lesions from this condition most commonly appear on the face, ears, or hips. Finally, allergic contact dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin caused by a delayed hypersensitivity to contact with irritants such as fibers, dyes, detergents, and medications. Well, being the only HALAL certified pet shampoo in Malaysia, we are not pushing for yo of not to use human shampoo. Well, the choice is always yours, but we are here to provide a solution to the pet industry. Enjoy..cheers
