There is canine shampoo, that is specially formulated for dogs. It gives their coat the cleansing and nourishment it needs, and is formulated to prevent irritation.
In a pinch though, regular shampoo or baby shampoo will work. Just be extra careful to avoid the dogs eyes.Do you have to use special shampoo on a dogor can you use anyshampoo or can i just use baby shampoo helpp?
You need to use a special flea and tick shampoo that you can get at most pet supply stores.
Go to www.ph-ion.com and learn about Ph levels for you and your animals. Dogs, cats and people have COMPLETELY different Ph levels. I would not suggest using any human shampoo or conditioner on your dog at all. I do, however encourge giving them a natural vitamin e - gel one a day in their food you can buy this at any health food store or pharmacy check the IU ammount. Large dogs you can give 400 IU a day small 100 a day. Inside 30 days hair will grow back and it will take on a brilliant shine. I personally use Udo oil (refrigerator section of serious health food stores only) and give some of that to my dog in her food daily. (Although check your dog may be allergic to it's ingrediants) Also make sure there is NO CORN IN ANYTHING you are giving your dog if you dog has any kind of skin allergies. Also recommend a new product for allergies, or any skin, hair or fur problems called Pet Solution Rx www.rpabiotech.com it's a spray for anti-bacterial, anti- microbial and anti-fungus. Benedryl (for humans) is okay to give to dogs but make sure only 1 mg per pound! Helps scratching and allergies and by the way is much better to give your dog if you are flying than anything the vet will give you with the exception of valium in a very small amount. Note dogs metabolize things differently than we do therefore Benedryl will work inside 20 minutes and valium may take up to an hour before it begins to work sometimes longer! Not all human meds are okay for pets - check it out with your vet first. Amount of med and their body weight is extremely important! If anyone is experiencing chronic ear problems with their dogs I highly recommend Zymox products they will stop whatever is going on. It has antibacterial enzymes. For infections they have pure drops. I strongly recommend their maintence system. Very inexpensive products too! After spending thousands on vets with my dog's ear problems I was turned onto Zymox by www.petkingbrands.com. where you can buy them directly for less than going to your vet.
Something a little more cutting edge for you and your dog is called CellPower. www.cellpowerusa.info. One more tip if your dog is white and you are wondering why they have a red or brownish residue underneath their eyes give them bottled spring water to drink ONLY and if you let them stick their heads out of the car window then make sure you rinse their eyes out with and you can buy it at any Rite-Aid or Savon Collyrium for Fresh eyes. Rinse their eyes out. You will never again see discolorization under a white dogs eyes if you follow this. Also for those of you who don't know no MORE GREENIES that includes anything that remotely looks like Greenies with a new name or especially has the same ingrediants. Go to the CNN website and look up Paula Zahn's piece on Greenies and deaths in large and small dogs. Hope this helped someone. Also for dogs with hip problems look into Adequine. One shot a week for four weeks and your dog will be jumping around like a puppy again forever. Forgot those pills they give your dogs for hip problems! Find a vet who uses Adequine. Very inexpesive and will literally save your dog and you from losing a lot of money and both of you from going through unecessary pain! Adequine was tested on German Shepherds years ago and has since been used for all breeds experieing hip problems. I have personally seen dogs who could not get up at all after their third shot start running around like puppies again and they never needed any more meds or shots of adequine again after 10 years! All the meds are just for your $! Keep the weight down on your dog by giving your dog (check with your vet) lowest perhaps RD kibble possible and add frozen carrots and peas instead of canned meat the weight will roll off. No cookies or treats until they weight is off or cut them in half. Hope this helps someone! Also last suggestion if you're all about animals perhaps make www.Care2.com your home page.Please note that I do not work for any of these companies at all! Just trying to give you direction to them you can always use google as well.
use dog shampoo, their fur and skin are different form a baby's so they need special shampoo. there r alot of different kinds for dogs and they come in alot of really nice smells.
I use a dog shampoo with a few drops of eucalyptus oil added.It helps with the fleas and smells pleasant too
I use special dog shapoo. The reason it's used is becasue there is a definite difference between fur and hair. Some dogs have hair though, in which case I assume normal shapoo is ok. If your allergic to dogs but not the one you own, you probably have a dog with hair. It wouldn't take much time on the web to figure it out anyways, though.
Baby shampoo should be okay; it's gentle and doesn't have any added conditioners.
get the adams dog shampoo its the best shapoo for dogs out there human shampoo dries out their hare
you have to use a special dog shampoo...
Because the best shampoo's for dogs have a little bit higher Ph-levels.A higher PH-level is very good for hair (fur).
A baby-shampoo is Ph-neutral or has even less Ph.
If you would use the baby shampoo on your dog,his fur will loose its glance and the hair will get greased faster.
No baby shampoo. Depends on your dog. I have a Lahas Apso and i'm only suppost to use people shampoo on her, except baby shampoo. I use oatmeal stuff it is gentle on her skin. Just make sure you rinse it all out well!
Baby Shampoo is okay coz the ph is neutral.
Try to avoid medicated or deticking shampoo unless you dog has a skin problem.
Try to bath them once a week only, too much shampoing will also cause skin irritation for the dog.
Best of all, invest a little more, use a proper doggie shampoo and you wont have to deal with any skin problems for the dog later.
use a special dog shampoo. dog's skin is not the same as baby skin, not the same ph.
I use Dove shampoo on my dogs. My vet said it was OK and not harm full, just to avoid getting it in their eyes and mouth. But, if you have flea issues, you will want to use something specially formulated for that. No matter which you do choose, the main thing to remember is to thoroughly rinse your dogs fur, soap residue can be harm full to their skin and may cause irritation.
