Can human shampoo be used to wash pets? 0 9

Firstly, shampoos designed for humans often contain fragrances and other substances that can cause irritation or allergic reactions in animals, notes pet grooming specialist Angelina SKVORTSOVA.

Secondly, the skin of animals has a different acid-base balance (pH), so using human shampoo can lead to dryness, itching, and irritation in pets.

Thirdly, there are many shampoos for animals, including products tailored for different breeds that take into account the length and thickness of the fur. This significantly affects the quality of washing. Human shampoo is not always capable of providing the necessary care, as the structure of human hair and animal fur differs significantly.
