Is it true you can take a puppy a bath with laundry soap as long as it doesn't have bleach and clorox?

NO WAY!!! Far too many chemicals! If you don't want to use dog shampoo, you are safe with your bar soap. Please Don't poison your puppy.


Towel dry him very good, and don't let him get a chill. Keep house warm until he dries.


Don't get water in his ears..you can put a cotton ball in his ears to help. Soap in his eyes will sting, just as it does in yours.Is it true you can take a puppy a bath with laundry soap as long as it doesn't have bleach and clorox?
No, dogs and cat's have very sensitive skin. Laundry soap is way to caustic. Other than specific pet shampoo, try a real mild soap like J%26amp;J baby shampoo. About 5-10 hours after their bath, watch their scratching habbits, if they start scratching or develop red spots on the inside of their hind legs, then you need something with a slightly lower pH level. (pH above 7 is called a base, which is what soap is 'basically' is). Read their body language to get a full idea on what works for them.Is it true you can take a puppy a bath with laundry soap as long as it doesn't have bleach and clorox?
no there are still other harsh chemicals why do you think they make tide free and dreft because the chemical irrtants give infants and some people rashes or inflammed red welts or painful itchy skin try some baby shampoo if you want to use household products on puppy
no soap shampoo for dogs is best. any laundry product contains soap that will remove the oils from the dogs fur that moisturize its skin and keeps it relatively water repellent not to mention that that type of product probably doesnt rinse well and could make your dog sick when they lick themselves
would you like a bath in laundry soap? and have you heard of pet-co? no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm, I suppose you could, much as you could give your self a bath with laundry soap if you wanted. However, laundry soaps and dishwashing soaps are usually much more basic then regular hand or body soap, and as such are probably pretty harsh on the poor puppies skin... Why not just use dog shampoo? Or if your too cheap for that human shampoo?
NOOOOOOO! You would cause the puppy to have skin issues that would cost you lots of money and cause the animal untold discomfort and suffering. You want your canine to have a beautiful, shiny, healthy coat and be happy. Would you wash your body with laundry detergent? There's your sign......
Not a good idea, too many chemicals.





I personally use human shampoo %26amp; conditioner. My pets have never developed skin problems from them. Then again, I use the same shampoo %26amp; I tend to get good quality hair products. ^_^
First off Laundry soap BAD... People Soap BAD... Baby Shampoo Worse than BAD. Get some pet shampoo and not the garbage they sell at the grocery store.





Dogs and cats for that matter have a different PH level than people do. Baby shampoo is the worst because it is designed to take the oil that people put on babies out. It will strip every little bit of oil from the hair and worse yet the skin of your puppy.





Now if your intention is to ruin you pups skin by all means go for it.
I used to use wool wash on my cat
are you insane???NO WAY!
yes, but also make sure you dont spank your puppy while your washing him
