Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just use baby wipes on my dog?
While it is possible that some brands of baby wipes would be fine to use on a dog, it is not recommended to use baby wipes on a dog. Baby wipes are formulated for human skin, not dog. The pH of a human’s skin is different than a dog’s. Dogs lick themselves. Certain ingredients in baby wipes may be toxic to a dog if they lick it. It is safest to use wipes that are specifically formulated for pets.
Can I use dog wipes on other pets?
It is always recommended to check the product page with regards to what other pets you can use wipes on. Most say they are safe to use on cats.
How often can I use dog wipes?
Always check the label for recommended use. The dog wipes we reviewed are safe to use every day. If you are using medicated wipes or wipes with harsher cleaners, you may want to use those less often.
