Does normal shampoo for human hair burn a dogs skin?

It does not burn their skin.

It is not made for them ... it does not do a very good job of cleaning them ... and the pH level is not correct for their skin.

You can use it in a pinch, but it is much better to use a dog shampoo ... and usually dog shampoo is cheaper and more concentrated so you use less each time.

I've washed a dog in Tide before ... and I've even washed myself in Tide before ... it didn't kill either one of us! But I can tell ya -- it wasn't very gentle on my skin!! Dried me up like beef jerky!! I can imagine that THAT feeling is what my dog experienced, too! And maybe they feel that when we use people-soap on them?

Use what is made for them, you get much better results and less dandruff/odor.

Some dogs have more sensitive skin than a human. That is why they can't be bathed as often as humans bathe. My dog has to use special oatmeal pet shampoo because when I used a gentle human shampoo on her, her skin started flaking (like doggy dandruff). If your dog is scratching a lot, switch to an oatmeal dog shampoo (Hartz makes one). It's not that expensive, and it can be found at most grocery stores and even wal-mart.

Most human shampoo won't burn a dogs skin. It still isn't good for them though. Dog skin/hair and human skin/hair have a different natual pH. Human shampoo is not meant for dogs. It can cause irritation and dryness of the skin.

There are many different dog shampoos out there. The Groomax brand by petsmart has many different scents and varieties. I also like the Fresh %26amp; Clean brand. Or, if your dog has been to a groomer, ask what shampoos they use there. Sometimes they use a different kind than the store/shop sells and it holds a good scent longer.
