My cat had fleas and I sent my roommate out to get some shampoo. (we also gave him a cap star from the vet and administered frontline.) We wanted to wash all the dead fleas and eggs off. After his bath, I looked at the label more carefully and it says ';do not use on cats'; in small red letters on the back. He seems fine - has dried himself off and licked his fur for a couple of hours after. I'll call the vet tomorrow unless anyone here thinks I should call sooner. We used Sentrypro Flea and Tick Shampoo for Dogs and Puppies.Dog shampoo safe for cat?
I don't see why it would hurt. If you can use it on puppies it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Just watch for excessive scratching. Good LuckDog shampoo safe for cat?
Well, the damage is done I guess, just the one application of dog shampoo shouldn't be very bad for the cat, however, I would suggest you call a 24 hour emergency Vet hospital and ask them what you should do just to be on the safe side. Probably the cat will be fine if you are sure you rinsed all of the shampoo off. Just keep an eye on your cat. I hope everything works out Ok.
If it says don't use on cats then DON'T USE ON CATS!
don't even think about it.
it can make cats very sick giving them paralysis, seizures and can be fatal if left untreated
BIG NO NO.
wonder
Dog shampoo can have tea tree oil in it which is ok on dogs, but very toxic to cats.
Check the label again and if it's got this, contact the vet.
Well, i think its okay since your cat got nothing wrong. The label said that is just for precautions, sort.
Don't worry, its cool.
There is a chemical in dog flea and tick products that is LETHAL to cats. You need to, at the VERY least, call a vet to seek further instruction.
Because cats are such detailed groomers, I would be willing to bet that your cat has ingested some of the shampoo residue.
Edit: The chemical is called permethrin and can be fatal to cats.
How long ago did the vet administer Frontline? You may have washed it off by bathing her as you have to wait a time before you can get them wet.
This cat needs to see a vet ASAP. It's totally overloaded on flea control products. They may not even be compatible with each other!!!!
you will make that cat very mean if you keep doing that
Since it said ';puppies'; too, I would worry about having to call the vet tonight.
But I would call in the morning.
You really need to make sure you get a cat shampoo for cats...the other ones could be too harsh on the cats.
Just call the vet in the morning.
Make sure you rinsed the cat really good too.
Good luck :)
You do not need to use Frontline and Capstar at the same time- that is not good for the cat. Pick one medicine and stick with it. Also, dogs and cats have very different skin types so it isn't good to use dog shampoo on cats; however, the cat should be fine- it will most likely severly dry and irritate the cat's skin.
I would be more concerned about the fact you used Capstar AND Advantage. Plus, I'm unsure if Advantage is water proof.......if not, you just washed it off.
I would definitely contact the vet ASAP and tell them everything that's written here. They'll know if you went overboard or not.
Never use dog products on cats or cat products on dogs. You could cause serious irreversible damage to your pet. Cats and dogs have different systems. You need to keep a close eye on him and call the vet in the morning and get him checked out, maybe some blood work to verify everything is ok.
Just use cat shampoo! Why do people want to use dog shampoo on their cats!?
I think you've got the message by now. People are being heavy because cat's are so commonly killed by accidentally having dog products put on them.
You shouldn't have actually bathed the cat at all however, because you've just rendered the Frontline useless. It needs 24-48 hours before it's waterproof. You've also washed off the natural oils from the skin that Frontline requires to work. Wait at least 48 hours, and reapply the Frontline. Make sure it gets on the skin of the cat, not the fur. To do this you'll probably have to put it in at least 3 different places on the back of his neck. After, you can use a flea comb to remove dead fleas and flea dirts, and your cat will also groom them off himself. Don't bath him.

Is it safe to use scented baby lotions/shampoo/baby wash?
i gave my baby her first sponge bath an used huggies sweet pea lotion, it seems kind of strong for a baby, it is for a baby!Is it safe to use scented baby lotions/shampoo/baby wash?
';Safe'; is a subjective term. Do you mean is it going to hurt their eyes? Or does it contain strong chemicals that might cause cancer??
With babies (all humans really) it's best to use the mildest soaps you can find. Organic is best. Try to avoid ones that have ';sodium laureth ulfate'; in them, and any that say ';perfume, or fragrance'; as that is so generic it could be anything.
There are lots of more natural and organic options out there, maybe try one of them.

Is it safe to give a cat a bath with baby shampoo!?
Yes. You dont need to bathe a cat very often since they do clean themselves, but if you like to and dont have any cat shampoo around, baby shampoo is actually a very good alternative.Is it safe to give a cat a bath with baby shampoo!?
Your welcome, and glad she looks and feels great =0) Report Abuse
Is it safe to give a cat a bath with baby shampoo!?
Yes, but keep it out of the cat's eyes. As long as you're going through all the pain of giving the cat a bath, it's summertime, why not go get cat flea shampoo instead.
It's always best to use pet shampoos on your pet. If you must use something else, use a mild dishwashing liquid. Human shampoos can dry your cat's skin out.
Washing a cat should only be done if they are very dirty. Cats tend to keep themselves very clean on their own.
It's best to use pet shamppo, even baby shampoo is really too strong for pets. In an emergency, go for it.
But for more common bathing you really do need pet shampoo.
Yes, but it might claw you to death.
Its best to use a shampoo that is specifically designed for cats as they have many natural oils in their coats that may be stripped away using human shampoo, causing skin problems. Baby shampoo will work in a pinch though...if you absolutely must bathe your cat.
the cat will be fine but you might bleed to death from bites and clawing
cats clean them selfs. Why would you want to wash your cat?
The cat will hate you, but yes.
Yes it is.But you need to know how to handle the cat when you wash it.
Sure, just don't get it in kitty's eyes. Some cats hear the running water and think it's another cat hissing. So get the tub or what you use full before bringing kitty in. Clip the claws back, and get ready for a kitty fight! MEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW ! RIP! SHRED ! WHY did you DO this to me!? Then kitty will look like a drowned rat. Good luck, wear a long sleeve shirt and GLOVES - Yes I mean GLOVES and get em wet. Not rubber gloves - THICK cloth ones.
Yes, but you might find baby bath easier to rinse out; dilute either with warm water in a jug before putting it on to her fur.
It will work if your cat has to have a bath Baby shampoos contain an ingredient that numbs the eyes making the suds sting less, but they strip essential oils from animals coats. Baby shampoo is just shampoo with an eye number.

Is it healthy/safe to mix shampoo? (Selsun Blue and Garnier Fructis conditioner)?
It is healthy/safe to use Selsun Blue as a shampoo, and Garnier Fructis Conditioner? Also, is it okay to go:
One day: Selsun Blue / Garnier Fructis Conditioner
Next day: Garnier Shampoo / Garnier Conditioner
And keep on switching?Is it healthy/safe to mix shampoo? (Selsun Blue and Garnier Fructis conditioner)?
Of course it's safe to mix shampoos and conditioners.
I've found my hair is actually healthier when I mix up my shampoos and conditioners. Use one combo of shampoos/conditioners for a couple days, then switch.Is it healthy/safe to mix shampoo? (Selsun Blue and Garnier Fructis conditioner)?
It is safe to mix shampoo with another conditioner. But you hair will come out smelling 2 different things, but it's all right. You can keep on switching if you want too. It's all up to you really.
Yes, totally safe.
Of course! I do the same thing! I mix mane 'n tail and gliss kur. Since the mane shampoo and conditioner left my hair really thick feeling and coarse I mixed it with gliss kur (shampoo=total repair, conditioner=liquid silk) which leaves my so silky but makes my already thin hair flat. The result? Thick feeling hair that looked and felt like silk! (all I did was put a doulop of each shampoo and a doulop of each conditioner and put them in!) So unless you are using a shampoo for medical reasons (it would have chemicals) it will be ok.

I shampoo my hair everyday, is that safe? Will my hair fall out wen im older?Is there a safe one i can use?
I hope it's safe, I wash mine everyday. Of course, I have oily hair--hence the washing Every day-- so if you tend to have dry hair, you can rub--I know this sounds gross-- egg yolk or mayonnaise in it. RINSE THOUGH!I shampoo my hair everyday, is that safe? Will my hair fall out wen im older?Is there a safe one i can use?
I shampoo my hair everyday, and it's fine.
For some people, it may just dry it out though. Your hair won't fall out, and the only consequence is that your hair may get dryI shampoo my hair everyday, is that safe? Will my hair fall out wen im older?Is there a safe one i can use?
if ur hair is too clean...u can get lice
No, they say you shouldn't do it just to give your hair a break, and it just healthy, but I wash mine everyday and even though idealy you shouldn't, I have to but it doesnt result in anything like hair falling out or anytihng
seriously dude use the search engine before you ask questions like this
no, ur totally fine.
you SHOULD NOT shampoo your hair everyday, it strips your hair of the natural oils it needs to stay healthy!
I think it depends on the length and how oily/dry my hair is. When my hair was long, I could only wash it every 3 days. Now that I have short hair, I wash it every day. Also, if you use a lot of gel or mousse you have to wash it more. Sunsilk No Major Issues shampoo, Dove Cool Moisture, and Herbal Essences Drama Clean are some good ones.
That's safe. It's fine for your hair unless it seems like it's damaging it. It will only damage it if your hair is not used to being washed everyday
This should be safe. Massage aloe Vera gel over the scalp,leave it for about one hour.After this rinse the hair with warm water.It gives excellent results for hair loss if one uses this massage at least 3-4 times a week. Check out

Is it safe to use human shampoo on cats??
No it is not safe to use human shampoo on cats. we have a different PH to out skin then cats do and when we use our shampoo on their skin it will dry their skin out very drastically. Is it safe to use human shampoo on cats??
For a once in awhile application, it should be fine, but cats skin are different Ph than a human's skin. So using a humane shampoo regularly could actually dry out your cats skin. Its better to get the shampoo made for pets from a petstore.
Other thing to be concerned about - human shampoo is made to be rinsed out of the hair. If you can't get all the shampo out of your cat, he could lick himself, ingest the shampoo, and end up being poisoned or sick from human shampoo.Is it safe to use human shampoo on cats??
I have heard of using human shampoo on dogs, but not on cats. Either way, you shouldn't do it. you should buy some pet shampoo from a pet store, or from the vet. To get rid of fleas, you should use flea powder, or flea medicine from your vet, but not human shampoo. It can irritate the cats sensitive skin.
I responded to your other question about puppy shampoo and hold firm to my answer. Stick to something from the Vet. But if you are really in a bind and are trying to clean off something nasty - try a small amount of Johnson's Tearless Baby Shampoo or Dawn Dish Detergent. And rinse well - avoiding the eyes and ears. And Never blow dry - they can over heat.
Good Luck.
it's not recommended for cats/animals. i wouldn't. so wait and get feline shampoo at the store. but if yur in a desperate situation and need to use it right away for some reason, it will be alright. be sure to rinse the cat real well.
Ask yourself this. Would I use cat shampoo on my hair? Probably not, their skin and fur are different from ours. Stick with a shampoo designed for cats.
If is all you have on hand, it is not going to be hazardous to his health. A good alternative is baby shampoo.
NO it's not. My GF works at an animal hospital (vet) and there are specific kinds of shampoo that you need to get for animals or you will dry out their skin
I seriously doubt it even know animal shampoo cost a lot you rather be safe then sorry
Yes it is my daughter is a vet and she says it fine as long as you only use a small amount
Yes ... just MAKE SURE to rince throughly.

What is the best and safest cat shampoo brand?
I was told that different coat colors need different kind of shampoo. I also heard that a good cat shampoo is the one that is made only for cats, not for cats and dogs. Is it true? I have a silver Persian cat, so what's the best and safest brand?
I live outside the US, so not every brand is available in my place.What is the best and safest cat shampoo brand?
I'd give my Vet a call- they probably sell some kinds there or can recommend a brand. When I needed to hurry up and give my cat a bath one time, my Vet said baby shampoo was fine. That makes sense because it's so gentleWhat is the best and safest cat shampoo brand?
Persians are wonderful cats, aren't they?
Cats should not be bathed too often. They groom themselves, although Persians seem to often forget that! It can dry them out too much and also lead to more shedding and more matting, particularly with that Persian double coat!
The best grooming is brushing for a Persian. If you find that you have one that does not clean their feet, face or butt, you can address those specific areas instead of bathing the entire cat.
For feet, those wipes they make for babies work great. Brush the feet to remove any loose litter and then wipe with those wipes until clean. Take a clean cloth with just water and wipe off any of the cleaner. Although the cleaner is safe, the taste may discourage kitty from grooming her feet. Leaving them wet will encourage her to groom them dry.
For face, they make some wonderful NATURAL cleaners. You can get them in towels, drops, pads, just about anything. I like the towels for persians so you can get into those little crevices by the face.
For the butt, I use a hygeine clip. I shave the butt area close and about 1-2'; up the tail. This gets those fluffy butts clear of the potty mess. Baby wipes also work there, again, washing off with damp towel. But I suggest drying the butt as much as possible, no one like a wet booty.
Groom kitty daily, her fur will stay wonderfully clean and silky. At most I bathe my Persians twice a year with this maintenance.
Depending on where you live perhaps you can get Dawn Dishwashing Liquid? It is safe and effective for cats and even kittens as well as being inexpensive. It is also an effective flea killer and deterrent.

The best grooming is brushing for a Persian. If you find that you have one that does not clean their feet, face or butt, you can address those specific areas instead of bathing the entire cat.
For feet, those wipes they make for babies work great. Brush the feet to remove any loose litter and then wipe with those wipes until clean. Take a clean cloth with just water and wipe off any of the cleaner. Although the cleaner is safe, the taste may discourage kitty from grooming her feet. Leaving them wet will encourage her to groom them dry.
For face, they make some wonderful NATURAL cleaners. You can get them in towels, drops, pads, just about anything. I like the towels for persians so you can get into those little crevices by the face.
For the butt, I use a hygeine clip. I shave the butt area close and about 1-2'; up the tail. This gets those fluffy butts clear of the potty mess. Baby wipes also work there, again, washing off with damp towel. But I suggest drying the butt as much as possible, no one like a wet booty.
Groom kitty daily, her fur will stay wonderfully clean and silky. At most I bathe my Persians twice a year with this maintenance.
Depending on where you live perhaps you can get Dawn Dishwashing Liquid? It is safe and effective for cats and even kittens as well as being inexpensive. It is also an effective flea killer and deterrent.

I live outside the US, so not every brand is available in my place.What is the best and safest cat shampoo brand?
I'd give my Vet a call- they probably sell some kinds there or can recommend a brand. When I needed to hurry up and give my cat a bath one time, my Vet said baby shampoo was fine. That makes sense because it's so gentleWhat is the best and safest cat shampoo brand?

Good-smelling, color-safe shampoo?
This may be a lot to ask of one shampoo/conditioner, but I am seeking a shampoo/conditioner that smeels great (with the smell lasting the whole day), works great, and is safe for color-treated hair. Does anyone know of one that fits the description? Another hair product that smells good will work, too.Good-smelling, color-safe shampoo?
Garnie FRUITSE maximum volum+Shine for color treated hair citrus apple!Good-smelling, color-safe shampoo?
here's a thrifty tip:
use sunshine orange or your current shampoo/conditioner and spritz a bit of your fave smelling perfume in it! it works!
Try redken color extend that is what i use and it even extends the color in my streaks and usually bleached hair dosn't hold color very well.....
john freida smells good all day, and brings out your hair color too. its safe and works great
try Herbal Essences for color treated/permed hair shampoo and conditioner....it smells fantastic or try sunsilk

Are color safe shampoos and conditioners better for your hair regardless if you colored your hair or not?
i was just wondering because it has extra protein so shouldn't it be better for your hair than regular shampoo and conditioner?Are color safe shampoos and conditioners better for your hair regardless if you colored your hair or not?
Cosmetologist here.
I will tell you that I use a sulfate free shampoo that is especially for color treated hair...and wow it has really made my color last a lot longer.
I have no doubt that these products are better for whatever type of hair you would use on as long as they are professional kind...which would in turn be ph balanced.
Sulfate free shampoos means basically they are made with the mildest amount of surfactant/cleanser you can put in shampoo. Very gentle...but I will tell you they are not a bubbly as the others if that matters to you.
Hope my advice has been useful!!Are color safe shampoos and conditioners better for your hair regardless if you colored your hair or not?
I should try the Joico Line- specifically KPAC. My hair lady swears by it and so do I- she got me hooked about 4 years ago. They do have protein in them- the intensive mask is really good too ; )
They are just more gentle. So yes, unless you have very oily hair a color safe shampoo is great for everyone. Shampoo molecules go into the hair shaft, attach themselves to molecules of dirt and oil, and wash out. So shampoo cleans hair, that is all it does. Drugstore conditioner, color safe or not is crap, so avoid it. There is no point to a color safe conditioner unless your hair is colored, unlike the shampoo.

Is it safe to use mayonnaise as shampoo?
you know, i have heard that you CAN use it in a product ( i goggled it and a lot of the blue said conditioner ) but i would do some research.Is it safe to use mayonnaise as shampoo?
Its safe...and it has been used for years to condition hair....it has both egg and oil in it which is thought to help repair damaged hair....I have used it myself years ago....the real draw back is that it is very oily and hard to rinse out....you will have to shampoo it out,,,Is it safe to use mayonnaise as shampoo?
It's not unsafe, but it isn't going to clean your hair. Actually, the eggs in the mayo will condition your hair. Mayo is really a hair conditioner, not a shampoo.
Yes it is. But use it with egg. My mom did that to mine once and it made it shiny and soft. then wash it out as best as you can.
:D
Hi there,
It is not only safe it is very healthy. The only thing is that its hard to get out you have to wash VERY good.
Good Luck :)
Yes its safe and I hear its really good to moisturize your hair. But make sure you wash it a couple of times so you don't start to smell like spoiled food. I also hear eggs are good for your hair it makes it shiny
NO - But you can use it as conditioner after you shampoo put it in your hair and then rinse out.
Mayo will not clean your hair, I has an oil consistency to it.
It's safe :3 but it doesn't clean your hair , it's used as a conditioner :P eggs also make ur hair shiny :D
It is safe, but that doesn't mean it will actually get your hair clean.
yes it safe

Would it be safe to bath our dog using human shampoo?
In studies performed at several laboratories, it has been shown that dog shampoo and human shampoo are very little different..I will post a link to show you. Anyway, I have several LONG haired, huge dogs, and bathe them all in Fructis, and I use Fructis conditioner.. It keeps them lovely and their hair easy to manage..and no dry skin or flakes...I recenly had 2 of them done at the groomers, and they are both itchy and flaky..so I need to re-do it at home. .Next time I will take the groomer my shampoo..lol
We dog owners have bought into the marketing hype, and have created a huge market for pet shampoos, just as we did for the well advertised dog foods. It keeps the industry happy.
This from Dr. Mike, DVM: http://www.vetinfo.com/dhair.html#Shampo鈥?/a>
Question: Dear Dr Mike,
I have searched your site and the only references to bathing or shampoo I
can find have to do with skin problems. Do you see any problem with using
';people'; shampoo on dogs, especially if it's a premium type like that sold
in hair salons? Our dog does not have any type of skin or fur problems.
Thanks, RTV
Answer: RTV-
I saw a study once, which I couldn't find to supply the reference for,
which was a review of the ingredients of various pet and people shampoos,
as well as a test of factors like pH and eye irritation. In the study, the
authors could find no significant differences between pet shampoos and
people shampoos. So I tell my clients to use whatever they like, or have on
hand.
I am sure that some shampoos work better on any particular dog than others
but that the brands that work well for that one dog may not be the best for
another dog.
I think that this information is probably also true for conditioners but
have not seen any reviews of the various conditioners to prove or disprove
that.Would it be safe to bath our dog using human shampoo?
Yes but use conditioner as well,because it can make the dog's skin dry !!Would it be safe to bath our dog using human shampoo?
only as a last resort if you dont have any dog/puppy shampoo but use baby shampoo.
No human shampoo will dry out the skin. Only ever use a dog shampoo because it is PH balance for the dogs skin. Our shampoo removes to many of the oils from the dogs coat cause itching and irritation.
This came right from a web sight called a world for pet care:
Qoute:
While many do use human shampoos on their dogs, it is better not to. Human skin is more acidic than dog skin, and dog and cat skins are much thinner than that of a human. Other differences exist too, all of which means that for the optimum health of your pet鈥檚 skin, you should use shampoos designed for pets, not humans, when bathing your pets.
No. But the best shampoo I have ever found is called Bio-Groom. It's a horse shampoo! But it got rid of the 'hot spot' my dog had for years. It also has a built in flea protection, and leaves his coat so shiny that people ask me what I use on him. He's a black lab.
Good luck..oh, you should be able to find it at a 'Feed Store.'
I've used human bubble bath soap on my dogs in lieu of doggie shampoo when we've run out, just make sure you don't get any water or soap into their eyes or ears. If you want to be extra careful, use baby shampoo.
I've used Johnson and Johnson ';No More Tears'; baby shampoo on my Pomeranian. It's very gentle and it makes him smell so good! My vet even gave me the ok, because the dog shampoo I was using was too harsh.
Yes... I use conditioner on my dog. Makes her smell pretty!
The whole purpose of having seperate shampoos for dogs and for humans is because our skin if different. A dogs skin is about 4 times more sensitive than human skin. Using a shampoo for humans on dogs will dry out their skin, causing itching and flaking. Many people use ';baby'; shampoo and claim they see no difference. But why take the risk?
I used to use strawberry shampoo on my dog, and she lived to be twelve. If you use human shampoo, use conditioner, too.
no!!!!! Their skin is different, their hair is different, their oils are different. You need dog shampoo, b/c if you use human shampoo their skin may become very irritated and they may scratch themselves to the point of bleeding
Any type of baby shampoo, these have less harsh chemicals and wont soak thru you pets coat. Shampoos for adults have more added chemilcals and fragrances which will irritate your animals coat......if you must you adult shampoo use castile....
No, it's not a good idea. You need to use a shampoo made for dogs.
No, human shampoos have an entirely different PH level. Also the perfumes and other additives can cause an allergic reaction.
NO! It is the wrong pH. It will do more harm than good.
Baby shampoo would be best, or ';Dawn'; dish detergent
My aunt uses baby shampoo on all of her dogs, puppies and ferrits and they are all in great health. I don't see what's wrong with it so go ahead!
Never use human products on your pets. A dog's skin has a different ph from ours and scented products can cause other dogs to attack your dog because of the ';odd'; smell.
Years ago in New York dog perfume became a fad until dog attacks rose dramatically. I personally have known a dog whose owners bathed it in Pert shampoo (cause they liked the smell) and whose dog was continually attacked. They switched to a dog shampoo and their dog had no more troubles.
