She did fine with Herbal Essence shampoo, but when I ran out of that I used VO5, which is a strong detergent shampoo. My puppy actually became physically ill. She was very lethargic, scratched and rolled around constantly, wouldn't play or eat. My friend told me when she used an improper flea powder on her dog and he became ill, the vet told her that the skin absorbs toxins into the blood and makes them ill, so I washed my puppy right away again in puppy shampoo and she is feeling so much better!

You are absolutely 100% correct and Francine obviously has no idea what she's talking about. "OMG! Nooooooooooo." I'm amazed at all the false misinformation I'm finding on the web which says that dish detergent is fine for dogs. If people were as sue happy over dogs as they were over humans, you would soon see all of that disappear. I do have one question for you though that I can't quite figure out. What about making your own shampoo? We live in a world where people are trying to call themselves holistic naturalists. These are the same people who regularly have exterminators come to their house with pesticides. In any case, what is your opinion on the use of oils and vinegars in place of shampoo? I never did very well in chemistry, but vinegar is very acidic if I remember properly, but it has such wonderful properties and does make the coat silky... at least after one use. What would be a good companion so it could best be used, if you don't mind me asking? I think it’s fair to say that clearly Francine off her rocker.

Obviously, it's not going to kill them, but it's not ideal!
