Think your dog’s shampoo is helping their skin stay clean and healthy?
It might be doing the exact opposite. Many dog shampoos — including some labeled "probiotic" — contain preservatives that kill bacteria indiscriminately, wiping out not just the bad stuff, but the beneficial microbes your dog’s skin needs to stay healthy.
Learn how common shampoo ingredients can disrupt your dog’s skin microbiome, why probiotic claims in shampoos are often misleading, and what to look for in a truly microbiome-friendly dog shampoo. If your dog struggles with itchiness, yeast, or sensitive skin — this is a must-read.
