I'm a hairstylist and I used to train and show horses(in my younger days) and I use mane and tail shampoo on my own hair, with a warm stale beer rinse. I also use wisk laundry detergent, as a hair detox before perms and colors, and every so offten I use it also on my dogs when their coat has been dulled and heavy. I would never use it on my cats though! They perfer to give their own baths
