Can I use baby wipes to clean my furbaby's little parts after he goes potty?

or only dog wipes?
What do you use?

I use to buy the dog wipes then they got too expensive for me so I started using baby wipes Huggies natural they are fragrance free. Works just as good.

Baby wipes work great, as do the wipes they sell along with toilet tissue for adults.

Exactly! dog wipes are kinda expensive, that's why I'm asking! Thanks.

I only had enough balls to do that in Public once, but I do know Doggie wipes are more expensive than Baby wipes (another Marketing ploy) and they are the same thing! Thank goodness for "Sanitary Shaves" they are a must for both of mine male and female, but more so for Artie, since the urine gets on his stomach too! Especially since both have long coats, I can't stand the thought of carrying soooo many supplies just to use the Bathroom......House keys, pepper spray, a flash light(at night), pooh bags etc. I Girl Friend of mine takes a whole bag with her that has all of the above, plus bottled water and treats and especially Baby wipes! But then again she's the same one that bought a Dog Stroller too, different strokes for different folks I guess?

I use baby wipes. I've never had a problem with them.

Oscar's Mummy · 10-05-2006, 06:01 AM

Absolutely! I buy the generic brand unscented baby wipes from the drugstore - they are so much cheaper than dog wipes and you get more for your $$$. If it's safe enough for a baby - it's gotta be safe enough for a dog!

I was told the wipes contain alcohol and was not good for the dog so I never bought them in 2 1/2 yrs!

judyeve · 10-09-2006, 04:26 AM

I use a couple of warm, wet paper towels in the house because the baby wipes are, of course, in the car when I need them in the house. The new, cheaper one-ply Bounty flush well. I never remember to buy an extra baby wipes container for the house.

Max is learning to stick his little butt up and I'm very gentle. I think he's beginning to like it. I'm not even going to question why.

7th generation does not contain alcohol or synthetic ingredients. and they are not bleached. i like these. it's better for humans too. if i only have access to regular wipes i run them under warm water to rinse off the alcohol and chemicals.http://www.drugstore.com/products/pr...I-0-EVGR-11695
i stock up when they go on sale.

JESSY_RN2B · 10-09-2006, 04:46 AM
