Bathing is an important part of grooming a Yorkie and shampoo plays a vital role in it, keeping your pup’s skin healthy and its coat shiny as well as beautiful. It is fact that we cannot use human shampoo on Yorkie because dogs have different pH level than human beings. Human shampoos can make Yorkie’s skin dry.
Ingredients to avoid in Yorkie Shampoos
There are several ingredients which can be harmful to your Yorkie
Parabens
This can disturb the hormonal balance in dogs and can even cause cancer.
Petroleum
Many skin products and canine products contain petroleum and you have to avoid those.
The sodium laurel sulfate
This chemical can cause awful irritation to your dog’s eyes and swallowing it disturbs digestive system.
