Is diluted dog shampoo safe to spray on my dog before brushing?

Question

Can I dilute my dogs shampoo into a spray before I brush her? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Long Coat) | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 4.5 lbs

Hello. This product does have some shampoo in it, so you can see if this leaves a soapy residue on Callie's coat after spraying her. If there is not too much residue, then diluting before brushing should be fine. If not, you may still need to rinse her off. They do make leave on dry shampoos & conditioners for dogs. You might want to check one of these out, too. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
