Can i use this kind of shampoo on a puppy?

Question

It's called MENNEN Classic Shampoo with Honey Nectar

Answer 1

The shampoo is not made for dogs, much less puppies, and for the pup's skin health, I would recomend getting a shampoo more aimed toward dogs that offers nutrients needed for a growing, explorative puppy. Try to find a shampoo that prevents fleas, ticks, or dry skin. It won't hurt the puppy to use that kind of shampoo, but it might irritate the skin or cause an allergic reaction. (Worst case scenario.) Try to avoid using tick and flea shampoo to early on a puppy, wait till they are about 3-4 months old. Consult your vet as well.

Answer 2

First of all, how old is your puppy? Not that it matters really because that shampoo isn't going to be good for him. It will probably dry his skin out and he will scratch non-stop. Any puppies under 12 weeks old have to be treated with either puppy shampoo or baby shampoo. It's for basically the same reason you can't really treat them for fleas if they are under 12 weeks old. If he has fleas, and you don't feel like the dog shampoo's do anything to help (in which I don't think they do personally) rip off if you ask me....My vet told me to use Dawn dish soap on my puppy for fleas...not too much though cuz that stuff is very very sudsy...Think about it..that is what they use on bird that get caught in oil slicks and it works...worked for my puppy! Mennen Shampoo....ha ha I had to get a chuckle out of that one...I get the feeling you are a bachelor maybe? :)

Answer 3

I make my own shampoo with guiness beer, egg yolks, oatmeal, aloe, Vit. E and a bit of puppy shampoo. My dogs have very shiny coats! But you can get reasonably priced puppy shampoo that does not irritate their eyes and is mild and balanced for puppy skin and coat. Large Pet Stores like PetSmart and PetCo often have great sales on these products as well.
It won't hurt a dog to use that human shampoo on them but better to use something designed for them.

Answer 4

Yes just dont get it in the puppies eyes... for the puppy's head use Johnson's baby shampoo (yes its a baby human shampoo!) This way it doesnt sting the puppy's eyes and make it a good experience to take a bath =)

Answer 5

No. Purchase shampoo made for dogs. Also, if your puppy is less than 12 weeks, do not use flea products, or shampoos, your dog is too young. The shampoo gets in the blood stream and causes problems.

Answer 6

Under no circumstances should you be using human shampoos. Canine skin has a different pH level than human skin and you may end up chemically burning puppy’s skin or giving it dermatitis. A good quality, gentle shampoo specifically made for dogs is ideal.

Answer 7

I wouldnt use anything not recommended for a dog especially on a puppy. They can have a severe allergic reaction to it. If you get it in his eyes it can cause a problem also. In a pinch you can use baby shampoo as it is milder.

Answer 8

This depends if this if okay for dogs. Check this with your local vet, if its not okay you can purchase dog shampoo from all good pet shops. My daughter washes our dog with head and shoulders conditioner, we checked this with the vet and you can use it. Also Fairy washing up liquid is good, but it can cause skin irritations if your dog is allergec. I'd stick with usual dog shampoo though it ranges to around £0.99 - £30.00. The more expensise tends to be better

Answer 9

is this shampoo for people or is it dog shampoo? really you should only use dog shampoo on them, they need the oils in their coat and people shampoo is to harsh it washes all the good oils away. Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo is good since it is gentle. Other than that i suggest doggy shampoo only.

Answer 10

Iam not familiar with the one you mention, but most people shampoos are to strong, I would advize you go to a pet store and get one for a puppy to be safe..
