Human Shampoo

[slleipnir]

Does anyone know if you can use it on dogs? We ran out of doggie shampoo and Jo needs a bath...

[Presley]

it's not recommended... The PH levels are different in it to dog shampoo...

Thanks. I guess I'll go buy some ;]

i think its not good on dogs. Chemical's too strong for their coat.

I think it's fine. Although i'm not a dog expert, my neighbor uses human shampoo on their dogs. Their coat is fine.

I have used human shampoo, but only when I am out of doggie shampoo. Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo is good stuff to use.

My old vet told me it was OK to use certain human shampoos on dogs. Something gentle like Johnson and Johnson Baby shampoo and also recommended Aveno Oatmeal Shampoo for a shiny coat.

I've used human shampoo on occasion, too. Didn't seem to harm their coat.

Dad was out, so I didn't have any money. I used some of my shampoo, not a lot, just a little to get rid of the dirt/smell stuff. Her coat seems fine now, shes smells good, and her coat is shinny. Very soft too :] I hear her coat is very soft for a labs..Could it be the golden in her that makes her fur soft??

I have also heard that baby shampoo is fine- even preferable according to our dog obedience trainer

I only use baby shampoo on Sadie. I think it helps her to not smell too dog-like, until the next time she rolls in poop and garbage.
