What types of human shampoo's are safe to use on cats?

besides baby shampooWhat types of human shampoo's are safe to use on cats?
NONE! If it's not labeled for cats don't use it- that includes baby shampoo! Cats are very sensitive to many ingredients in shampoo.


Dawn dish soap is very drying. It's a great one time treatment for quickly getting rid of fleas (an old shelter trick) but is the last thing that should be used on a regular basis.What types of human shampoo's are safe to use on cats?
I would highly suggest using shampoo formulated for cats only. If you must use a shampoo that is not formulated for cats on an animal, I would suggest T-Gel because it's mild and is often used to treat fungal infections on animals.
You really shouldnt use any human shampoo on cats. Baby shampoo is ok sometimes but most human shampoos arent mild enough it could kill your cat.





Buy some cat shampoo at the dollar store or walmart it isnt to expensive
Dawn dishwashing soap. Many cat caretakers will use this on kittens who are to young for flea shampoo. DO NOT use antibacterial soap on a cat, however.
something that is very very mild, and i know you said ''besides baby shampoo'' but thats a good idea in a small amount, or just get some cat shampoo tomorrow, its not expensive
normally, any type of kid's shampoo works beause its very mild......
