Horse shampoo

Buy the original horse shampoo by Ballistol. The experience of customers gives a clear recommendation.

Why no conventional shampoo from the drugstore is suitable for horses

Human sweat has a pH value of approx. 4.5, which is in the acidic range. Only the sweat glands of the armpit and genital region produce neutral or slightly alkaline sweat with a pH value of over 7. Horses sweat is alkaline. Therefore, you are not doing your horse any favors by simply using mild shampoo from the pharmacy or baby shampoo.

Shampoo for humans can negatively affect the horse's acid mantle and degrease the skin. This can weaken the natural defense mechanisms of the horse's skin. Fungi, bacteria and other pathogens can attack more easily. The horse's skin starts to itch and the itchiness has to be alleviated again with further means.

Therefore, buy a really good shampoo, which is pH-neutral for the horse and moisturizing for the horse's skin. Ballistol horse shampoo is dermatologically tested with „very good“.

Horse shampoo against itching

Many times customers ask whether the horse shampoo can be used against itching. First of all, it is not a „medicine“ that is supposed to have a specific medical effect. Itching in horses is always a symptom and has a cause. This can be an infestation with parasites, fungi, bacteria or other pathogens. Allergic reactions are also conceivable. The cause of the itching can be diagnosed by the veterinarian, for example. With regard to shampoo, it is important that it may be used in case of itching, because it does not promote it as well. For this purpose, for example, the Sensitive variant is a very good choice.
