Murphys Oil Soap for Bathing a DOG ? Ok ,so i am wrong for thinking this is totally not right ? I read a blog somewhere (not here) about a person who bathes her dogs with this on a regular basis. It was reccommended by a breeder.. It is made to clean wood :eek: |
Sounds awful to me. There can certainly be some horrible advice on the internet. |

thank you , i thought the same thing. why in the world would someone bathe their dog in that when there are thousands of products made JUST for dogs.. |
OMG!! How in the world could that even be safe. It is a household cleaning product. Surely they were joking :eek: |
Yikes! That was worse than bad advice! I remember growing up we used that to wash our floors and it can have a medicinal/chemical smell to it if you use too much. How could she think that it makes her dog's coat do well or even smell pleasant. |

no, i am afraid they were serious. |

i have no idea.. some people just believe everything they read online like its the gospel.. |
No way! How awful! Thank you for sharing some of the asinine advise that people put out there........makes you wonder! |
OMG I saw the title of this thread and thought who in their right mind would use such a product to bathe a dog. There is no way I would use this. What ever kind of breeder would say such a thing??? |
:eek: Omg what is the breeder thinking. Do you remember the link? Here is a link for info on Murphy's oil soap http://www.ppd.ufl.edu/pdf/msds/Murp...oap_Liquid.pdf Potassium hydroxide is identified as one of the ingredients in Murphy's Oil Soap. potassium hydroxide is used for electroplating, debudding calves' horns, dissolving warts, scales, hair and cuticles. It's also used in liquid drain cleaners, and for chemically peeling fruits. |

Everyone will think I'm nuts but Murphy's is almost completely natural and plant based. No don't think I would wash my own dogs in it because I dont like the smell, but I can see why there are many other chemically based products that would be worse. |

I've heard of people using Murphy's to bathe their dogs....but I thougt it was to repel fleas, much like many people use Skin So Soft to repel mosquitos. |
Im sure its all natural but I wouldnt want my dogs to smell like a floor cleaner |
Please check out the link I put up. It's stuff in not good to put in on any animal |
I use it to clean the wood on my bannisters and my kitchen cupboards...why in the world would you use that on a dog...it does not smell nice at all... |

From what I understand, any soap (shampoo) will kill fleas as long as the dog is very wet and the shampoo is worked in well and allowed to set for a few minutes. The fleas die from drowning, so it is not necessary to use a special flea shampoo or Dawn, for example. |
if i wont use it on myself then i wont use it on my yorkies. plus it does not smell nice |
I rather like the smell of it...I will take a bubble bath and let ya know!!!:eek: I personally wouldn't risk any product like this on my pups, there are already enough options on the market intended for this use. I just was curious as to why it would be used when I ran across that. I learn so much here....! |
That is so weird:laugh: Maybe it's supposed to help certain skin conditions or something:confused: |
It's used to bathe a dog after being sprayed by a skunk, and it works. The minute amount of harsh chemicals is outweighed by the effects the spray can have on the dog. It is 98% completely natural products, better than most pet shampoos. |
