I use the Baby Mild version of this soap. I was just curious if this is a formulation that works well for dogs or not. Thanks!

Can I wash my pet with your soaps?Yes! Dr. Bronner's soaps are wonderful for washing pets, especially dogs. To see a great demonstration of how to wash your dog with our soaps, check out Lisa Bronner's blog post on the topic.For cats, you have to be a little more careful. Many essential oils can be toxic to cats, especially tea tree, lavender and peppermint oils. So for cats, as for babies, your best bet is to use one of our Unscented Baby-Mild varieties. https://www.drbronner.com/customer-service/faqs/

I bought these when my Husky was a puppy but I still use them today and he is 55 pounds. I bought the bath wipes for puppies with the assumption that the ingredients used were better for his delicate skin. I haven't tried the wipes for dogs because I still haven't run out of my puppy wipes. I use them for small jobs like cleaning off his paws when he comes in all muddy. Hope this helps!

It worked well for our dog and it has a really nice smell too! Our dog wasn't itching so much as loosing the fur. You can get a hot spot spray (I believe hartz makes it), that has hydrocortisone and aloe for helping with the itching between washings too. �

I really have no idea. I do know I've never had a problem and I have used it on two different labrador retrievers for over 6 years. My dog at the word of "bath" immediately goes to "his" bathroom and jumps in the tub and waits for his bath. I use a hand held sprayer & he gets totally wet, shampooed and rinsed well. He loves his bath & I love the fragrance.

No. Do NOT use any soap on a dog's face! Only use doggie or baby wipes please.

It does lather a little...not like soap though. I and my daughter have very sensitive skin and it leaves our skin feeling soft and hydrated. Our skin is never left feeling "squeaky" clean or dry with this cleanser.

As i understand, it is all natural vegetable base. Animal base will not work in concert with natures charcoal. This makes ths soap very effective & safe. I've even used it on my grandbaby since she was 2.

Um.. It's soap silly... Wash away!! Yes I am serious. Wonderful soap btw. I've stocked up on goat milk soap like a mad man... Great product

Yes!! I have used Tar soap for years and there is almost no scent which I always felt was a good feature. It is the way the soap soothes your skin that is the important reason to use the soap. Once my daughter and her husband used the soap they will not any other kind of soap! Enjoy!

We used this on our 10 week old puppy and it worked well. He had no irritation or dry skin. In fact, it made his skin and fur extra soft on top of smelling great. Its formulated different than human shampoo since we both require a different Ph level. Try this stuff, you wont be mad you did.

I use Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap - it works perfectly, it's not creamy or thick and foams very well - I still water this soap down even though it's not so thick to start with. This is the only liquid soap I do not have any difficulty with.

This being one of the only shampoos that my little guy can use, I have used this for several years now and I have shared the bottle with a female friend who has used this on her cats for an external treatment of skin problems and she had great results with her cats just as it did for my Chihuahua just be sure that you do not allow the animal to lick the product off it's skin while bathing. Also, you must leave on for at least 10 minutes and bathe once a week until their skin clears up for the full benefit of this product. So in answer to your question, yes, it can be used on felines as well as dogs. Hope this helps and good luck to you.

I initially used it on my dog (shih Tzu mix) 2x a week and now it varies between every week to every other week. If I can suggest something else in combination with this shampoo, Skin Works has done wonders for both my dogs. It is all natural; my female shih tzu mix also needs this on her belly (rash develops from going #1). Hope this helps!!

No, I didn't have that problem? I mixed with water and washed my pet's irritated areas with a wash towel. Even when you dilute with water it's still very soapy. You can use more water if you like, for example a tablespoon of soap to two cups of water. Once the irritated area is cleaned rinse wash towel with water and pat the soap off. Don't rub as it may hurt your pet's irritated area. Use warm water, so it's comfortable. I've even used it as a shampoo during my pet's bath (just one lathering) then her dog shampoo as the second lathering. This is my go to soap for all of my pet's skin issues, didn't have to put her on medications from the vet. No, I didn't have that problem?

I wouldn't. Too harsh. Better: 1/3 apple cider vinegar, 1/3 fruit-fragranced hand dishwashing soap, and 1/3 water. Much better than any retail dog shampoo.

I wouldn't use this on my dog. It's not finely powdered. Definitely try a different sulfur, one that's powdered and fine - this one is crumbly and is suitable for outdoor use only. It depends on why your dog is itching - fleas, contact dermatitis, yeast on the skin, etc. My dog had a really bad yeast infection and the sulfur helped for a brief time, maybe a week, but what really helped was washing her in Selsun Blue shampoo. I put it on a washcloth, rubbed it in (not like a regular dog bath, but more like a treatment) and took her outside for 15 minutes. Brought her back to the tub and rinsed. She was cleared up in less than a week. The shampoo won't hurt your dog if you want to just try it. I've also seen success with zinc shampoos, like head and shoulders.

I have not used the rinse although perhaps I should. In between baths and only periodically, I have found that Adams 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole skin medication (WalMart) for hot spots along with the Zymox shampoo has been the most successful for my Shetland. At one point, I was treating him with something constantly with the vet's help. The Zymox has been great. Directions call for shampooing directly to wet coat and leaving lather on problem areas for 3 to 5 minutes. The 5 minutes is a little difficult for my dog to stay put. Sorry I can't comment on the rinse.
