  1. Cats have very sensitive skin. Dogs can tolerate harsher things. Don't use dog shampoo on cats, unless it says "dog and cat shampoo" on it. Like I said dogs can tolerate more. So their shampoo normally has harsher chemicals. Cats have sensitive skin, so their shampoo has almost no chemicals.

    I hope this helps!


  2. no dont use puppy shampoo, however bar soap or a small amount of lemon dish detergent and rinse very well.

  3. No! my grandma once used dog shampoo on a cat and it almost died, luckily she rushed it to a doctor.

  4. I don't recommend it. Normally cats don't need to be bathed. They tend to keep themselves cleaner than dogs (most times). If your cat got into something that could harm them if they try to clean it off (such as motor oil, any kind of chemical) then your vet should be the one to clean them up in case of illness. If your cat is dirty, say from mud or some other natural substance then a simple wipe down or even a hose down with a kitchen sprayer would work without soap of any kind being needed.  

  5. Please never use anything on a cat other than cat products.  

    There can be any kind of a reaction from a slight skin irritation to a deadly seizure.

    I know because I have seen first hand Hartz products kill cats all summer long at the Emergency Hospital I work at.  So be safe, choose a feline friendly product and better yet - one from your vet  :)

  6. It is never a good idea to use anything designed for dogs on a cat. There are different strengths of chemicals and flea compounds that are harmless to dogs but will injure the cat's more delicate chemistry.

    Don't do it. If you want a good cat shampoo use Dawn Dish washing liquid! Kills and repels fleas and is safe for cats.

  7. NO NO NO

  8. Why not.

  9. no, it could harm them. buy cat shampoo it is more gentle.

  10. Cats do not need to be bathed, unless they get into something.  I've owned plenty of cats in the past and not once had they ever been bathed.

  11. nope always use cat shampoo for  your cat and dog shampoo for your dog
