Can I use Johnson's Baby Shampoo? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Brutus'mama · 09-25-2006, 07:03 AM

I want to give Brutus a bath today but realized I don't have much shampoo left. Can I use baby shampoo on him or I should I wait until I buy doggy shampoo. Thanks!

Oh my goodness too funny....my dogs had to go to the vet for an unexpected visit for fleas the other day and I was all out of doggy shampoo so I used Johnsons baby shampoo on them. Their coats have NEVER looked better and they still smell great!! Not sure its the best for them but it works!!

That is what I'm now using on both Gabby and Gage due to skin allergies (and that's what vet recommended because it's so mild and gentle to their skin). I love the smell - reminds me of when my skin kids were babies

That's what I've always used on their faces and around the eyes, because it doesn't burn eyes.

Now I can't wait to try it!

i bath mine in it

I use it too. Smells nice and is very gentle. If I condition her I use Herbal Essence but not on the face, only her body.

I use the lavender J&J baby shampoo on Ferdinand and it works great. Plus the scent lasts for quite a while.

Thanks everyone! I gave him a bath with the baby shampoo and I LOVE it! He's so soft. I posted a couple of pictures of him on the my yorkies board.

I heard about that too..Can I use any brand shampoo or does it have to be Johnson & Johnson?

txshopper73 · 09-25-2006, 10:49 AM

Every once in a while will be okay. I wouldn't use it every time since it is a stripping shampoo and it will dry out the hair.

I use that Fruictese Garnier (SP?) on Trixie from time to time and Suave for kids with no problems.
