A. Never use anything on your pet that is made for people! The difference is that people have a different pH of their skin and hair than animals do. Ours is more acidic (pH 1-7) and dogs have a more alkaline skin and coat (pH 7-14). Pure water is a neutral pH 7.0. DERMagic Peppermint and Tea Tree Oil Shampoo and DERMagic Peppermint and Tea Tree Oil Conditioner are carefully pH-balanced for dogs, and will not dry or irritate their skin.
