A clean dog should feel comfortable in their own skin, not spend the whole evening frantically scratching against the living room rug.
Squeaky-clean fur often means the protective oils on the skin were completely washed away. When that natural barrier gets stripped by standard shampoos, everyday dust and dry air start causing instant irritation. Using mild, moisture-friendly cleansers keeps those defenses intact and prevents post-bath itching before it starts.
