How many of you use people shampoo on your dogs?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I also use the CC products, but every other time I use my Mattrix, smoothing system/ sleek look conditioner on Bailey, I have found nothing, that compares to the softness, shine, and smoothing. For him and me, I love that stuff.

We also use CC on Rox and I LOVE how she smells afterward!

My furbaby has a cottoney coat and mats easily. I bath him in mane and tail shampoo and also use the conditioner. It makes him much easier to comb which I usually do daily. I switch to oatmeal shampoo for dogs occasionally. So far I have not had any problems with this method.

You should try Pet Aromatics shampoo/conditioner. I haven't used the shampoo yet, but their doggie cologne smells wonderful! I use the Honeysuckle Hound. I am going to buy the shampoo today (I have to order it online). I am pretty sure human conditioner is okay - at least that's what I've been told by Brody's breeder and his groomer. Here's the website for the Pet Aromatics products: http://www.petaromatics.com/splash.html

haha, I can understand how a lot of salons considering that. In ours it~s just one groomer and myself. I absolutely adore my job. Maybe one day I~ll go into grooming myself, if I dont end up deciding to go to vet school. Our shop is in the back of the owners Bone Appetit Boutique for dogs. So I have a very close relationship with everyone. Its all women working there. haha So it proves for interesting times. But I do love bathing. Obviously, I have my days. haha We all do. But Andrea (the groomer) and I have so much fun in the back by ourselves. Plus, being only 20 its more of a college job for me right now. Although I love it so much there it makes it hard to ever want to leave!

I'll be honest, I have tried a LOT of different human shampoos and conditioners. Ended up with an itchy dog! I have also tried numerous dog shampoos and wasn't happy with them either. I just bought the Chris Christensen shampoo and Ice on Ice leave in conditioner......I AM SOOOOO THRILLED with it. Tiah is getting her 3rd bath with it today and she just keeps looking better and better for longer and longer. When I bathed her before, she looked good only for the first day. I bath my puppies with it also and will tell the new owners about this wonderful product to save them a lot of time and hassle.

J&J isn't bad for the dogs but most human shampoos are. You gotta be really careful what you use on them, human shampoo wise.

you had a horse too??? this isn't fair!!!!
i used human shampoo once on tucker, we were out of dog shampoo and he needed a bath. it made him sort of itchy so now i think we are only going to use doggie shampoo. i don't think it will hurt once in a while though.

I have only given Chewy a few baths. At first I used Herbal Essences and it was really great, soft hair, great smell. Then I bought 4 paws Magic Coat and it made his hair so rough, it was awful. Now I'm waiting for my CC Systems to arrive in the mail. I ordered it based on all the recommendations on YT and I can't wait to see how it works on my little guy.

I use Pantene on the body and J&J Baby on the face for over a year and my babies' coats are fine. I'm going to try to CC products but if a yorkie has hair that is as close to humans as any dogs, I truly don't think it's a bad thing to use them. Just my opinion.

I used my 8 month old son's baby shampoo on Piper a few times and it worked great. I liked the smell and the fact that it is tearless. I since have bought Royal Treatment Mint-Infused Green Tea shampoo and conditioning spray and RT French Vanilla Milk shampoo and conditioning spray off of HSN. The whole system came together for a great price and people were calling in swearing by the products so I got them. I like them but haven't tried any others (except the baby shampoo of course). I do want to purchase some of the CC products in the future and switch back and forth like Villette mentioned.
