I got an email recommending head and shoulders shampoo to use on dogs-is that a good idea?

A vet allergist recommended it for a dog that was prone to fungus etc. Could this really be safe for a dog? article said to leave some of the shampoo on the dog, not to rinse off real well. Is this sound advice?I got an email recommending head and shoulders shampoo to use on dogs-is that a good idea?
It's usually never a good idea to use human shampoo on dogs except in extreme cases. Human shampoo is PH balanced for people not dogs and using human shampoo on a dog will usually result in irritated skin, flaking and/or itching. When you wash a dog with ANY shampoo, you temporarily wash away the natural oils of the coat. If it's the right shampoo, you'll get a good result. I'd get a second opinion on that one.I got an email recommending head and shoulders shampoo to use on dogs-is that a good idea?
There is no shampoo that should be left on a dog.





Under a dermatologist vet care who recommended using it then I would say use shampoo but it is usually Selsun Blue suggested. It contains selenium sulfide which can be used for seborrheic dermatitis but only if vet recommends it.

I use whatever shampoo on my dog

people care more about dogs these days then people...
ask you vet for advice. I would think it would be too harsh for a dog.
Call your vet and ask them. I wouldn't leave soap residue on a person let alone a dog.
NOOOOOO it is too harsh for a dog's skin. Go to Pet Smart and spend 4.99 for shampoo ..isn't your dog worth the money??
