Someone asked the question: Is it safe to use glycerin or lye soap on dogs?

Yes, it is safe, in fact it is lot better than using the commercial dog soaps. Commercial dog soaps have so many chemical ingredients that you cannot even pronounce. I will not use these on my two dogs.

I keep hearing to use Dawn dishwashing liquid. NO, NO, NO. If you have a groomer that uses this, either switch groomers or give them your own shampoo to use.

The poor birds and animals in the Gulf are being cleaned with Dawn. This is great. It does kill and remove the oil. I love Dawn for my dishes! It cuts grease better than any of the other dish detergents. Your dog needs his natural oil that his skin produces. This prevents dry and itchy skin that causes your pet to scratch when there are no fleas.

By the way, birds need the oil their skin produces to stay afloat. I am assuming that this is one of the reasons, the birds are kept for several weeks before turning loose. If any of you know the answer, please let me know in the comment section.

These are writings I have done on dog soaps and links to their shops

Keep your dog happy and scratch free. One other thing, always rinse well to get all soaps out of their coats.  

Have a Happy Day,
