I wouldn't recommend using a shampoo made for humans on your pets. It may not be harmful right away, but could dry out your dogs' skin later on. Your best bet is to use a detergent free shampoo or colloidal oatmeal shampoo that was meant for dogs. I use either Doc. Ackerman's Colloidal Oatmeal http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/products/D鈥?/a> or Cloudstar Buddy Wash http://www.cloudstar.com/


In between shampoos you can use special wipes made for dogs that will freshen up their coats.

No, baby shampoo is fine for dogs, especially puppies.
no it doesnt harm your dog. it is the best shampoo for your dog. it keeps its fur soft, and it also keeps out the flea and ticks.
Baby shampoo doesent harm dogs because think about it if a baby is gonna be using it a dog can use it!! I know it can sometimes cause dandruff on older dogs because there hair is much much more coarse and dry so its important to use a conditinor on them..but i would totally recomend baby shampoo on a puppy!!! i like the seargents skip flea oatmeal ( i have a chihuahua and mini greyhound and i use the dove mostuire 2 in 1 on them))
one time use wont matter, long term use it will - dogs need dog shampoo.
nope, but try to keep it out of his eyes anyways
It won't harm him, but I would use something that is designed for dogs. Animals have different dermatological needs than humans, so he should use a shampoo that is made for him. Your vet can probably recommend one.
Baby shampoo is actually GREAT -- but do NOT apply it to his head -- use only luke warm water to clean his face %26amp; head. : )





Be sure to rinse it all out thoroughly -- he will be very itchy if there is any residue left on his skin and fur.


: )


Good luck!
never use human products as they have sensitive skin only use dog shampoo 1/8th of shampoo 7/8 of water mixed jus use plain water near eyes anf face
No, it won't harm him, but you shouldn't use it regularly. Human shampoos can give dogs skin problems. But it's fine for now.
It is not good for the pets hair. As dogs have different substance of hair. I buy dog or puppy shampoo and a dog conditioner. I have a Maltese who has the shiniest coat of fur. I get shampoo that won't sting their eyes.


If I were in a pinch, I guess baby shampoo would do.
that is safe to use
Dogs skins pH is different to ours. I dare say a one of bath wont do too much harm, but long term it definatly will.


Your vet will not care if Yoshi smells a little 'doggy', but, with the mix you refer too, I am suprised you don't keep all the nessesary grooming equipment to hand at all times!


Also, my hairdresser once told me that baby shampoo is the most acidic on the market, so that really was the wrong choice! When you're at the vet, pick up some proper dog shampoo, and some grooming spray to keep Yoshi smelling fresh.
