Can you use dog shampoo on a cat?

My cat has fleas, and I was wondering if there is a risk if I were to bathe the cat in dog shampoo. It's shampoo to get rid of fleas. I think there might be a risk.Can you use dog shampoo on a cat?
If it has tea tree oil in it, you can't, that's toxic to cats but not to dogs.





Have the bottle in front of you and call a vet in the phone book and ask, they'll want to know what ingredients are in the shampoo and can give an ok or not on it. That'd be the way I'd trust for information.Can you use dog shampoo on a cat?
usually if it's a dog's shampoo then it wasnt made for cats. sometimes it will work for both unless it says DO NOT USE ON CAT on the bottle.
It should be fine.... keep a close eye on the cat afterward to make sure it dosent start to bark.

Well I think one doggie shampoo wouldn't hurt. Give it a try but don't leave it on too long. Or how about just dunking your cat in a pool of clean water.
You never want to use dog products on cats, especially flea products. There is an ingrediant in many dog flea products that is fatal to cats if ingested. Cats have very different systems than other animals, so you have to be extra careful when using any products on them.
Not necessarily. The problem with cats is they groom themselves much more thoroughly and more often than dogs do and therefore they would ingest any product left from the shampoo. If there is something in the shampoo that is toxic to the cat, it can cause them to be sick. I would never use a dog shampoo on a cat. If you must shampoo your cat, simply use a mild soap such as baby shampoo then get a flea product such as advantage or revolution and apply it according to the directions. Or buy a flea shampoo specifically designed for cats. You're taking too big a risk if you use a dog flea shampoo.
