so im not sure?Is it true that you HAVE to get dog shampoo for dogs or you can use regular shampoo that we use at home?
Dawn is actually the best and it ';cuts grease';
You don't need to use anything specific unless you have a medical condition you are trying to maintain.
You should not wash your dog but a couple of times a year.
Grow up people and quit wasting your money. Donate it to save a dog or cat in your area.Is it true that you HAVE to get dog shampoo for dogs or you can use regular shampoo that we use at home?
Because human shampoo is formulated for people and is much too harsh for a dog. So, yes, you need dog shampoo and you also need to be careful to bath a dog only when absolutely necessary, no more than once a month at most, because you're stripping all the oils out of their coat and drying the skin as well.
it really depends on what you use. because my dog has sensitive skin believe it or not dog shampoo is too harsh for him. my vet suggested we only use johnson and johnson baby shampoo. because that is a human shampoo i see no reason you cant use it on a dog especially since my vet said it was ok to use a baby shampoo.
Most adult shampoo is too strong for a dog's coat and itsn't good for thier skin. I've heard that you can bathe your dog in Baby shampoo though. Dog shampoo is by far the safest though.
dont use regular shampoo always use dog shampoo and dont bother using baby shampoo or any other brand except dog shampoo normal shampoo strips the dogs of oils they need for there fur to be and look all healthy and it dries out your dogs skin
its not even that expensive you can get some for 拢2 or$2

My vet said that you can use baby shampoo or Dove, if that is all you have on hand..
I have used baby shampoo when bathing a dirty found dog.
But on my own dogs over the years I used dog shampoos. I esp liked the stuff for black coats on my rotties, years ago, not sure if still make it. Made their coats super shiny!
Plus some dogs are super sensitive and can get a rash or really dry their skin out.
When I do bathe my dog - which is rarely - I use my shampoo or dish soap. Never in the 6 years that I have had my dog have I noticed any problems with this. Her coat looks fine and she has no problems with her skin. She still hates baths though.
Most of my friends do the same thing and they don't have any trouble either.
Dog shampoo is formulated for the Ph of a dog's hair/skin. Human shampoo is formulated for the Ph of a human's hair/skin.
Using human shampoo (preferrably baby shampoo) in a pinch is fine, but for regular bathing you need to use dog shampoo. Otherwise you will damage the dog's coat.
use ur shampoo
dogs have different hair and skin. use dog shampoo to keep them from getting scalp problems.
in a pinch i have used human shampoo....BUT animals have more sensetive skin than us and could be allergic to ingredients.... if you must use aveeno oatmeal products. or find one that is hypoallergenic....
It's my understanding that dog's skin has different PH values then humans do. I bought some oatmeal shampoo for dogs at walmart for my dog- it was about $3.50. You shouldn't wash your dog too often anyway- i dries out their coat. I have heard it's best to wash long haired dogs 6 times a year and short haired dogs twice a year. I think my dog gets smelly so he gets a bath 2times a month (he's shorthaired).
Call your vet and get their opinion- then tell your parents- they should trust the vet.
I am a chemist and I read the ingredients on supposed dog shampoo and people shampoo, the ingredients that you see in both are the same. There are some speciality shampoos out there (just like there are speciality shampoos for people) that do contain different ingredients. If you are simply buying off the rack at a petstore (PetCo, Petsmart, target) you are spending an arm and a leg for pet shampoo that some genius has marked up to 9.00 a bottle (or more) because people don't do their homework and marketers know that people will pay an arm and a leg for their poocie poo.
I reccommend the speciality shampoos, their cost is worth it. But if you are going to buy off the rack, might as well buy human shampoo, they are NO different. If you do buy human shampoo you do NOT want to buy a scented or dyed shampoo, you want it to be free of those things. Pantene and suave work well and aren't too expensive. I bathed my dogs for an entire year (bathed them once a month) using suave and their hair and skin was fine (vet confirmed).
Be careful, regardless of what kind of shampoo you use to
1.) completely rinse - that is the biggest problem with washing dogs and what causes dogs to have a reaction is that all the soap isn't rinsed off them. Rinse them, scrub them to make sure sudsies don't appear, rinse again
2.) don't bathe them too much - at most 1 time a month should be all that is needed. If your dog is stinking up, chances are he may have skin problems due to his food. Check with your vet - dogs really shouldn't stink!
get dog shampoo because it is specialy formulated to clean dogs tell me would you use dog shampoo or eat dog food?? well same goes for the dog well not the dog food part he/she'll eat anything meatty you give it unless it's a pure breed and knows better.
The best dog shampoos are soapless, like HyLit, expensive but worth it. Human shampoo is made to strip oil from hair, which you certainly do not want to do with dogs, they get itchy skin if you do.
Tell your parents that a bottle of HyLit, or similar product, is expensive - but you do NOT give your dog baths that often (you shouldn't, you know)
and it lasts a long time. It is also much cheaper than having to take your dog to the vet for skin conditions, which can happen if you use shampoo not of good quality made specifically for dogs.
Not so many baths please - dogs don't need them unless they got into something nasty.
A dogs PH balance is different to ours so human shampoo should NOT be used. You can harm their skin which will end up costing you more money in the long run. Tell your parents to not be so tight. the shampoo will last a long time as you should not shampoo a dog too often as natural oils will be taken away. :)
Human shampoo is very harsh for a dog and can cause bad skin problems. Dog shampoo's are specially formulated for a dogs coat and skin.
