Do not use human shower gel when bathing dogs, mainly because the pH of dog skin is different from that of humans. Human shower gel is mainly alkaline, while dog skin is acidic. Therefore, using human shower gel on dogs will cause the dog's skin barrier to be damaged, resulting in increased dandruff and skin diseases.

It is generally recommended that owners choose a pet-specific shampoo for hair cleaning based on the breed of the dog or the color of the dog's hair. If the dog already has skin disease, it is recommended to use the corresponding medicated bath and shower gel according to the dog’s skin condition after an examination.
