Baby Wipes Bad For Dogs

Baby wipes aren t bad for canines just because of the fact that they haven t been specifically manufactured for pet use by a company that focuses on pet products.

Baby wipes bad for dogs. As with anything it s always best to use products made specifically for dogs because dogs have a different ph than humans. They re filled with chemicals and synthetic fragrances. Truth is baby wipes have a lot of things that just aren t safe for canines. Understanding the ingredients used to make baby wipes makes it clear why baby.

Diapers and wipes for reasons we humans probably will never understand some dogs will eat dirty or clean diapers and or wipes. The truth is baby wipes are not safe for dogs. Cats and babies are cleaned in different ways and what works for one won t work for the other. While this may gross us out the up side is that these events are usually not a concern for toxicity but rather a concern for gi upset and possibly an obstruction in the gi tract.

I keep trying to find pet wipes without ingredients that have massive concerns surrounding them for example phenoxyethanol. Though baby wipes are gentle on skin they have been formulated for the ph level of the skin of human beings which is a little. The short answer to this question is yes. While some baby wipes can work for dogs not all of them are.

Moreover most baby wipes will contain a substance called propylene glycol which helps to clean human skin but it s toxic to dogs. You can use baby wipes on dogs but there are a few things to consider. The most common ones that pet owners use are dog bath wipes dog paw wipes antibacterials wipes for infections cuts and bruises dog ear wipes and eye wipes and dog butt wipes. Baby wipes are harmful to dogs and puppies simply due to the fact that they contain more ingredients than one that have been proven to be fairly toxic and poisonous to caniness.

I want to use them for our puppy and give some in doggie gift bags after stays but i don t want to be giving out items with potentially toxic ingredients including ingredients that may be controversial. Many of the things that make baby wipes good for babies make them bad for cats. Plus i understand the thought process of if it s good enough for a newborn. The fact that baby wipes are not made specifically for pet s use by a company that concentrates on pet products is not the only reason why they are bad for canines.

With that said dog wipes can easily cost twice the price of regular baby wipes so i understand the temptation. I don t want upset doggie owners thinking i m trying to poison. Baby products are very gentle so it seems odd that baby wipes are not safe for cats.
