Dog Shampoo For My Pigs?

[Lucy_xo]

Hi guys,
Sorry I haven't been on here for a while. Been too busy.
Anyway. Can I use hypoallergenic dog shampoo on my piggies? I have ALOT of the stuff and just wondered if I could? They're in need of a wash specially' Einstien Pig who has a long think coat

sorry but ive got to say no! good shampoo is to strong, it could irritate your guinea pigs skin, there are some good small animal shampoos out there that will do much better! can I recommend this one -> http://www.gorgeousguineas.com/shampoos.html

I agree don't use dog shampoo or dish soap. Just get some small animal shampoo.

Ok dokes Thank you, I have just found a bottle of small animal shampoo so happy as my two boars NEED a bath

I went to get some today and the lady in p.shop said you can use kitten Shampoo as she had just sold the last bottle. I said no thanks I will wait for the appropriate shampoo!

I was given Malaseb cat and dog shampoo by my vet for the interim period between testing for and diagnosing ringworm a little while back; it's very gentle and suitable for piggies. I do highly recommend Gorgeous Guineas for standard piggy maintenence though
