• Can I bathe my puppy using regular-scented human soap?

    I recommend that you do not bathe your pet with human soap or shampoo. These products can dry out their skin and cause other skin issues. It is best to use a product that is designed for dogs. Your veterinarian can recommend the specific product that will be best for your pet.

    For more information, you can read the article Tips for Bathing Your Pet.
