While many natural bath products made for pets are safe to use on humans, this is not always true in reverse. Cats and dogs have different skin pH than we do, and many products that are gentle to human skin can be quite irritating to our pets. Many quality natural bath products for pets like shampoosand conditioners, are available, so be sure you get one that’s just made for pets if you bathe or use clean-up products on your pet at home. Not rinsing completely is another potential problem. Even a gentle pet shampoo’s residue can be irritating to our pets’ tender skin. Bathing too often is also a concern. Chlorine and other irritants in tap water are absorbed through our pets’ skin, and like bath products, may be drying, especially when pets are exposed more often than necessary. Holistic veterinarians often recommend that in general, dogs can be bathed every 1-2 months, and may be bathed weekly when suffering from a bad flea infestation. Cats that tolerate bathing may be bathed once or twice a year, and once a month when infested with fleas.
