[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 334582, member: 1963"] Actually, horses have MUCH more sensitive skin than we humans do. I'd be leery of a shampoo for dogs that says it can also be used on horses. I'd tend to go for a product specifically made for equines. That said, old fashioned Listerine makes a good wash for seborrhea in horses, but I wouldn't use it on a dog or cat. Listerine is actually poisonous to cats as it contains thymol which used to be thyme extract, but now is made of coal tar. Coal tar products are phenols and those are very dangerous for cats. Like I said, as a former groomer, I've found that the number cause if itchy, flaky skin in dogs washed at home, is that they aren't rinsed properly. It's just like your scalp itching if you don't get your shampoo rinsed properly. [/QUOTE]
