No. As a matter of fact, they make conditioners specifically for cats and dogs. Check with your vet or the local pet store for brands/further details. Also, you can spritz on a little moisturizing spray between baths. But before going to all of that, try this first:

Check to be sure you're using shampoo for DOGS ONLY. Human shampoo is often too harsh for animals and cat and dog shampoos are very different. Also, be sure to check the labels for words like 'hypoallergenic' as many cases of dry skin are due to Allergies. Ensure that you're feeding your animal a high quality diet and not whatever happens to be on sale. Brushing your dog at least once a day ensures that the natural oils of the coat get spread evenly throughout. if you're doing all of these things and your animal still has dry skin, you can also provide fatty acid supplements(such as Omega-3 and Omega-6)but I would consult a vet first before adding anything to my pets diet. Hope this helped and good luck!
