Question

Can I use human shampoo on an 11-week-old puppy?

Answer 1

NO NO NO never use human shampoos on your animals. our ph level in our skin is different to your puppy's. using a shampoo designed for people can irritate their skin and make then very itchy and dry out their skin.

Answer 2

NO I wouldnt recommend it. Use a product approved from a vet.  Dont even go for those cheap supermarket brands if you can help it.  I had found a stray that smelt of kerosene so I thought , they used a product called MALAWASH they told me for fleas etc..which was so potent it must have been burning the poor thing.  For something to use if you cant get to the vet straight away... try baby "soap free" shampoo its gentle enough for a wash or two.  

Answer 3

I personal wouldn't use human shampoo. You can buy special puppy shampoo from most pet stores, some supermarkets even sell it.

Puppies have senstive skin and you don't want to irritate it.

Answer 4

I have to say I've used human shampoos on my dogs for years, long before there was anything called dog shampoos.

But having said that, you shouldn't use them. They can cause damage to the dog's skin, and it's not worth the risk.

Just get some special dog shampoo. Particularly if it's such a little puppy.  

Answer 5

No. That's why there is a product called "Dog Shampoo" If you used  human shampoo on your dog it could sting and damage his skin.
