I do know dogs and cats too, have a different skin hair PH then humans,
so what may be neutral to a human may not be to the dog. Checking
with the Vet is good advice.

This might sound stupid - but I have a weird question
for dogs with sensitive skin, or skin trouble. The
mention of a mild shampoo / conditioner made me think
of it. I personally have extremely sensitive skin,
badly sensitive. So I was thinking about the dogs that
do too. About the only cleanser I can use is Cetaphil
Gentle Skin Cleanser. Could that be used on dogs? It
is like a lotion, that you rub on, but it doesn't make
suds, it just sort of creams a little. They created it
for people with eczema and dermatitis and allergies
etc (like me). You can either wipe it off, and it
leaves a light conditioner on your skin, or you can
rinse off with water. It's Ph neutral so it doesn't
irritate. It's over the counter, not prescription.
Could that help a dog that has a skin condition? I
wish I knew about it when I had my collie that had
skin trouble. It sure helps me personally and keeps me
from getting rashes, blotches and other skin problems
that other cleansers just make worse. (their cream is
also wonderful) Just a thought - maybe you could show
a bottle to your vet and ask if it would hurt?
