Question by ☆FAM0U$ ☆:
can you use YOUR organic shampoo and Conditioner to bathe your dog?
Okay well i have a black toy poodle who is 2 yrs old in human years and I have a organic shampoo and conditioner of mine that i would like to use on my dog for just today and I was wondering if it was okay to use it. It is coconut milk by the brand Organix. Hope this helps!

I wouldn’t do it. Its the wrong pH. It could dry out her skin.
Answer by BYB’s breed nothing but crap
no.. you may dry out his skin, or even cause irritations.
The dog needs a conditioning DOG shampoo.
Human products are designed for the PH levels of a human
dogs products are designed for the PH levels of a dog.
What do you mean by that you would like to use it “for just today”? You do know that dogs do NOT need bathed that often, right? Only when smelly or dirty. Your dog will be fine until you can get to the store for dog shampoo.

No the ph is different in dogs and humans. Use dog shampoo for your pet.

Here’s a little known fact outside of dog show circles…and remember, we want our dogs to look their absolute best…we use PEOPLE PRODUCTS!
People who think human hair care products can’t be used on dogs haven’t been to a dog show. I spend more on human hair care products for my dogs than I ever would for myself!
Pantene is my favorite for my dogs, along with Mane and Tail (a horse product people use on themselves now!).
Amazing but true. If these products damaged the coats, we’d never be using them.
Remember, some dogs don’t get washed at all (hand stripped terrier jackets) and some get washed every day while showing (big old newfies for one!). Know your dog, know your breed, and go from there!

No.
As everyone else rightly affirms, cleaning products designed for humans indeed have the wrong pH for canines. You’re asking for flaky and irritated skin if you insist on using it.
I’ve used Organix in the past – before I began using only natural and organic products – and I wouldn’t use it again because it has 4 carcinogenic ingredients.
You’re better off stopping by Petco/PetSmart and picking up a natural shampoo without the usual cancer-causing suspects, like sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamide MEA or TEA or DEA, disodium ANYTHING. I’ve seen that Halo has a holistic shampoo with real, natural ingredients – I’d try that.
Aside from the SLS, cocamide and disodium mentioned above, also steer clear of the following ingredients:
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
Ammonium Xylene Sulfonate
TEA Lauryl Sulfate
Magnesium Sulfate
Sodium Thiosulfate
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
Alkyl Sodium Sulfate
Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate
TEA-Dodecylbenzene
Sodium C12-15 Alkyl Sulfate
Sodium Dodecyl Sulfonate
Phthalates
Propylene Glycol
Any artificial color, usually denoted with FD&C or D&C and numbers
Hope this helps you! : )

Organic products try and use only natural ingredients. Check the bottle and see if you recognize all the ingredients. If you do then you can probably use the shampoo on the dog without any worry. Dogs can be sensitive to chemicals, but often people are more sensitive. Do a small patch before gong all over the body to see if there is a reaction.
