Do you think its safe to use baby wipes on dogs ?
My dog is a Vizsla, so very short haired. She never washes herself (well apart from her bum), and her belly often has bits of mud on it - plus she smells horrid around her belly region .... like a musty armpit !!! Even if you tickle her belly, your hand smells afterwards.
So, although she gets bathed occasionally, i thought i could give her belly a wipe down with a baby wipe after a walk.
What do you think ? Will it be harmful to her skin ? I suppose not as they are for delicate skin. |

I use sun block stick for my Daisy cats ears as she is white and gets sunburned - the only thing with the old stuff you have is that it goes off with age and the effectiveness is reduced so I would buy new if I were you - you can get special pet sun block though see here Pet_sunscreen ____________ Vicky, Daisy and Ruby xx

i use the pet wipes for my bubbles inbetween baths. i buy them from the supermarket but they are obviously more expensive than baby wipes.
his brother and sister are hairless cresties and have to have suntan lotion on when its even a little sunny. they use a spray as its easier to apply. any sun lotion is suitable, just make sure its a high factor. ____________ Where would I be without my Bubbles....? My little boy makes me so proud! |

Generally, anything that is suitable for babies (externally) is safe on dogs in my experience and usually a good deal cheaper than "dog" products! Most show bags contain baby wipes, I shampoo mine in Johnson's baby shampoo and basic skin creams are good too for minor problems, especially Sudocreme. Easy to get hold of, too.....  ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again |

I hate being ripped off by "specialist" products, many of which don't even work. It's getting almost as bad as the overcrowded pet food market  ____________ Pretty Polly Pavey of Polidot - 06/08/1996 - 13/07/2006 - Dalspa Liquid Gold for Polidot 20/10/1999 - 08/05/2007 - Polly and Polo together again |
