Red Fox Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Is Moo Goo (human) Shampoo/conditioner safe for use on dogs? Given that it's natural, chemical free and the rest of the family use it I'm tempted to give it a try Ingredients; Shampoo: Purified water, Decyl Glucoside and Cocoyl Glucoside (from Glucose). Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate and Sodium Laurylamphoacetate and Cocobetaine (from Coconut oil) Conditioner: Water, Cetearyl alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate (Rapeseed Oil derived detangler), Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, Allantoin (Comfrey Active), Piroctone Olamine, Milk Protein.

becks Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Human shampoos can be used on dogs BUT they can be a bit drying on their skin with regular use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I would say no. Well, I'm sure you could with no ill effects but human shampoos technically should not be used on dogs due to the difference in our ph levels. A dogs skin is also a lot thinner and more sensitive. Dogs shampoos however, are fine to use on humans (non medicated of course) - and not that you would really want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisart Dobes Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Actually a friend of mine uses this on her dogs & says that its the best thing she ever used (been in dogs 40+ yrs). I tried it with ours but it made the coat too soft for our breed. Its a very natural product & it was good with their skin etc. My friends dogs coats are immaculate. Read up about whats in it (or not in it:)) - my guess is its alot better than alot of dog products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I thought Moo Goo was ph neutral? it is an all natural product that is good for sensitive skin so if it is ph neutral should be fine for dogs as well as the whole ph thing would be irrelevant then. it has to be a lot less harsh than many dog shampoos available.

This was my thinking too. I'm sure on their bottle it says that it's no harsher than putting water on your hair (I have some in the cupboard I'm too lazy to look!). I was thinking of using it on my dog too as it's not doing well on my hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyValley Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I would be wary... MooGoo shampoo reacted badly with my hair - after using it for about a month and having my haor go very very greasy (normally dry hair) I went to the hairdressed to find out what was going on. The Moogoo had left a build up coating on the hair and it took a stylist 4 washes with a stripping shampoo to get it all off... It was completely gross - they said they had never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Moogoo was OK for me for a couple of weeks but after that it would leave the crown of my head greasy, the effect wasn't as bad if the conditioner was used too but it also wasn't so great for my scalp after those first couple of weeks. As with anything, maybe try it and see if there is a reaction, what suits one, doesn't suit all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with anything, maybe try it and see if there is a reaction, what suits one, doesn't suit all. The greasiness & build up could be easily combatted with a rinse of cider vinegar after shampooing instead of using conditioner. Cider vinegar enhances highlights & leaves hair soft & manageable. I use (on myself as well as dogs) 3 tbs to a litre of warm water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
