| 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 |

| Sounds awful to me. There can certainly be some horrible advice on the internet.

| OMG!! How in the world could that even be safe. It is a household cleaning product. Surely they were joking

| 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.

| 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???

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | 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.
