Skin & Coat Wash/ Skin Guard

Is it necessary that I use ZYMOX Equine Defense Skin & Coat Wash before applying the ZYMOX Equine Defense Skin Guard, or can I use the shampoo that I already have?

ZYMOX Skin & Coat Wash is the recommended shampoo to use with ZYMOX Skin Guard because its known gentle plant surfactants will not affect the enzyme formula in the conditioner and its effectiveness. ZYMOX Skin & Coat Wash does not contain harsh detergents, pesticides, colorings or residual petroleum products that might cause unnecessary skin irritation. These and other harsh surfactants used in many other pet shampoos could potentially destroy or disrupt the enzymes in the Skin Guard.
