Will human shampoo hurt horses?

Question

my horses have extreme bad dandruff and i got told to use anti dandruff human shampoo...is this safe?

Answer 1

Like with people it depends on how sensitive they're skin is but usually you should be fine.  If your worried that there might be a reaction do a spot test on your horse and wait about 24 hours just to be sure.  This way if there is a reaction your horse one turn into one big hive!  Bath times always fun though...enjoy:)

Answer 2

I wouldn't think it would be a problem. Considering how awful and chemical-y some horse shampoos smell!

We used human bubble bath to wash our horse and pony.  They both seemed to like it and neither of them had any problems afterwards...  

Answer 3

yes human shampoo should be fine. I use it with no problems
