The Importance of Picking the Right Shampoo for Your Dog:
You could be enticed to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The issue is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that require shampoos and conditioners with distinct formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or maybe dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Think of the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy spots, and it soon becomes evident why you need coat products that are developed to address these problems. Human-grade shampoo won't have the proper ingredients to de-scent, treat dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers.
