I always have used regular shampoo and conditioner. Just make sure you rinse it out really good. Your dog will smell good and soft.

---

Johnson's Baby Shampoo or any other that says "no more tears".

---

go to the store and buy some or use regular shampoo

---

Bodywash soap.

You can use normal washing up liquid (for dishes).the chemical formula is the same as that of shampoo, only that shampoo has lots of chemicals to make it smell nice. They both have chemicals which break the surface tension of water and grease. It is an emulsifier. You could also use soap.

DON'T LISTEN TO THEM:
It is perfectly OK to use dish washer liquid. People say it dries the dogs skin and is bad for it. Did you know that most of these dish washer liquids have the same pH as soap (pH 9) It is equally dangerous to have soap or shampoo on yourself than putting dish washer liquid on yourself. Ask a chemist. You could technically bathe with this dishwasher liquid.It is perfectly harmless and has the same chemical formula as shampoo!

Gentle people shampoo - baby shampoo is best.

You can use regular shampoo and conditioner. Just make sure you use conditioner. A lot of people use dish detergents or regular shampoos without conditioner, but this will dry out their skin. If you have conditioner though, it would not be a problem. Just get some more shampoo as soon as you can. Thier skin is different than ours.

I always use my own shampoo and conditioner on my dog (pantene)- or I use johnsons baby body wash.

---

Anything that is tear free. People shampoo (and detergent) can be too harsh for doggie skin, so be carefull!

I have trained bird dogs for over 15 years and the best thing I have found to wash dogs that wont irritate them is Johnson's No More Tears Baby Shampoo, forget all the rest off the stuff out there its the best.

It is also the best thing I have ever found to get the skunk smell off of a dog it works every time.

Just be sure and rinse em off real good after you lather them up.

---

You WAIT until you get some MORE!

There's NO reason for an EMERGENCY bath!
Do NOT use dish soap OR people-crap!

BAD STUFF! WAY too strong!

---

Do NOT use regular human supplies. i know everyone uses them, but it's bad. It dries up your dog's skin and can have bad effects.

---

uhhhhhhh, i don't know maybe u should just go to the store and buy some

---

Human shampoo works just as well. Baby shampoo is the best because it doesn't irritate the eyes.

---

i use savalon disf it kills all flees and puts a nice.smell and shine on ur dog dilute well

---

It's really not a good idea to use human shampoo on a dog.
It would be a good idea to ask a groomer what they suggest for your dog's type of coat.
They are the professionals in that field and work with different breeds each day.

Take care.

My parents always used a very small amount of palmolive dish soap diluted with lots of water.
I wouldn't do that, I use dog shampoo, but have also used baby and kid's (Suave) shampoo. I never had any problems when using these but I have heard that it can be harmful (think about it, though, if it is good enough for babies and kids, why not dogs). I just try to make sure that I keep dog shampoo on hand, though.

A good quality shampoo is fine. It needs to be a good one like nexxus therappe.You would be surprised to fine how harsh some dog shampoo's are.If you woud'nt use it then don"t put it on your pet.

---

there is no reason to do emergency bath when you're out of dog shampoo, UNLESS he rolled in something smelly in which case you can just spot wash him.

Never use DAWN or other soaps like that. it is too strong for dog's delicate skin.

go to the store and buy more dog shampoo.

---

Buy more (what a concept!) Don't use regular shampoo. It dries out their skin.

---

i would use baby shampoo
