No.....Has anyone tried johnson's baby shampoo for your puppy?
you should never wash your dogs fur even with human shampoos even baby shampoo, as it strips the dogs fur of its natural oils that it needs.





You can buy cheap puppy shampoo from any pet shop that will leave your dog smelling lovely and its coat it tip top condition.
I use it to wash my dogs faces so it doesn't burn their eyes %26amp; then use regular dog shampoo all over the rest of their body.


I've never had a problem w/it.
I have 3 Shih Tzu's, age 3, 2 %26amp; 1 and I've always used baby shampoo and conditioner. I bath them about once every 3 weeks and none of them have ever developed any skin problems. I also use a hair dryer to partially dry them. It sure does leave them soft and smelling wonderful. Go ahead and keep using it.
i know u can use the stuff on guinea pigs...


so i guess its ok 4 small dogs...
The following is borrowed from a Veterinary Products website that manufactures Sulfate free dog shampoo. I challenge you to check all of your own shampoos and see what nasties you are using!!











Our secret is in the surfactants 鈥?Why should we avoid sulphates?


Surfactants are by their own definition the 鈥榮urface active agent鈥?in skin cleansers,


shampoos and body washes that cleanse the skin. It is this ingredient that can greatly reduce


the surface tension of water when used in very low concentrations and help to suspend,


solubilise, dissolve or separate particulate matter in some way so that it will not just re-deposit


on the surface in question. This is the role of the surfactant (or cleanser).


Harsh surfactant ingredients are a major cause of adverse skin reactions to topical shampoos


and conditioners. They often cause skin irritation, drying and itchiness. This is where the


careful selection of non-irritating surfactants is critical when formulating quality personal care


products.


Surfactants are categorised as anionic, cationic, non-ionic or amphoteric depending on the


electric charge of the active part of the molecule. Anionic surfactants are proven as effective


cleansers and commonly used for this purpose in human and animal shampoos. There are


four groups of anionic surfactants 鈥?sulphates, soaps, sulphonates and carboxylates. Cationic


surfactants are most commonly used for their detangling properties in conditioners. Non-ionic


and amphoteric surfactants are characterised by their mildness on skin and eyes and are


added in quality products to produce a rich and luxurious cleansing product.


Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and its ethoxylated equivalent Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate


(SLES) are the two primary anionic sulphate surfactants used in hair care products and


creams/lotions as cleansing agents. Both these cleansers are commercially attractive to


formulators because they are extremely cheap and have a great cleansing ability. But this


comes at a physical cost. They are also strong irritants.


SLS is so irritating that it is the most common standard used in irritancy testing, against which


the irritancy of other substances is compared.1. SLES is slightly less irritating than SLS, but


may leave the sulphate contaminated with 1,4 鈥?dioxane 鈥?shown to cause carcinogenic in


animals2,3,4. These two sulphate cleansers have been reviewed in over 250 scientific research


studies since 19835. The studies have confirmed:


1. The highly irritant properties of sulphates 1,2


2. Erythema and dehydration of skin cells caused by sulphates6


3. The degenerative affects of sulphates on the skin cell membranes because of protein


denaturing properties


4. Residual levels of sulphates in vital organs of the body (including liver, heart, lungs


and brain) from skin contact and absorption7


5. Possible permanent eye damage in young animals7


Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate is now quite commonly used in 鈥榮oap free鈥?and 鈥榮ensitive skin鈥?br>

shampoos. However, tests have shown that this cheap cleanser is actually even more


irritating to skin than SLS!


It is for these five reasons that Pure Animal Wellbeing has deliberately avoided the use of any


sulphates in their Shampoo and Conditioner products. They are committed to meet the


highest standards of purity and safety with all the ingredients they choose. As a result the


Pure Animal Wellbeing range are gentler and more luxurious, offering premiere care for even


the most delicate and sensitive of skins.
I have standard poodle show dogs. I use Johnson's and Johnson baby shampoo on them every second week. Its great for the coat. I also use dish washing liquid on the oily coats as well!!! Dogs hair, like ours is very durable and dont stress to much. Try not to get anything in the dogs eyes, no one likes soap in the eyes.





But the baby shampoo smells great on the coat dosnt it!!!
This isn't so much of an answer... I just wanted to say thanks for the idea! My golden retriever has a bad habit of rubbing his face in horse poop whenever we go to the park. I've always been afraid to use dog shampoo around his face, so I just kind of scrub the best I can with a wet washcloth %26amp; let time %26amp; dog-to-dog grooming do the rest. I'll definately try Johnson's baby shampoo next time.





PS - Don't waste your money on flea shampoos - if your dog has fleas, Original (blue) Dawn dishsoap works wonderfully!
I've never used it on my pets, but my stylist once mentioned how bad it really is for the skin. They make baby shampoo so it cleans EVERYTHING out of a baby's hair, such as sticky foods. It does contain alot of detergents which is what dries out skin.
