Q: Is shampoo bad for dogs?
A: “A lot of dog shampoos have parabens, mineral oils, sulfates, phthalates and those can cause skin issues and other health issues and be extremely harmful to dogs,” Youngker says. Also, be sure to look for essential oils instead of artificial fragrances. Avoid added dyes and artificial coloring of any sort.
Q: Do human shampoos hurt dogs?
A: This makes human shampoo overly acidic for hounds. While an occasional bath with its owner’s shampoo may not cause damage immediately, it can seriously hurt a dog’s skin when used over time. When possible, use a shampoo with no additional fragrances, such as chamomile, eucalyptus, lavender, or citrus, as these may sting or scald the dog’s skin.
