Can I just use Dawn dish soap to wash my dog?Updated 2 years ago

Please, please don't wash your dog with Dawn dish soap! Have you seen the touching stories about Dawn saving ducks from oil spills in the ocean? That's because Dawn is an incredible grease cutter which is good news for ducks in oil spills, but very bad news for your dog's skin. Dog's skin is covered with natural oils that protect it and keep it moist. Soap can be especially drying to a pet’s skin and leave residue in the fur, causing itching, dandruff and shedding. Soap is also more likely to wash off any topical flea preparations. Our shampoos are pH-balanced especially for pets' sensitive skin and will lock moisture in, not strip it of natural oils.
