Can Lux shower gel be used to bathe cats?

Shower gel is a kind of bathing product that we often use when taking a bath. Many families have pets, and when bathing their cats, the owners will use products commonly used by humans such as shampoo and shower gel. So can Lux shower gel be used to bathe cats? Let’s take a look together!

Can Lux shower gel be used to bathe cats?

Generally speaking, pets should not use human shampoo, shower gel and other products, so you cannot use Lux shower gel to bathe cats, because it will cause skin problems and hair loss. Lux shower gel is developed based on the characteristics of human skin and is more suitable for human weakly acidic skin.

You should use pet shampoo for cats, which is safer for cats. If you want to try using human body wash, try to choose a product with neutral acidity and alkalinity, and as little fragrance as possible. If your cat has severe itching problems after using it, be sure to stop using it again.

The dangers of using human body wash

I believe that many parents like to use human shower gel and shampoo on their cats, thinking they are the same. In fact, humans and cats have differences in skin structure, sweat glands, and metabolism, so human shower gel is not suitable for cats, and cats may accidentally ingest it. Human shower gel contains more chemical ingredients, and cats licking it for a long time will affect their health.

If you use human shower gel on your cat for a long time, your cat's hair will become dull and rough, and the cat will shed a lot. It will also cause the cat's skin to be sensitive and prone to infection by fungi and parasites. Doing this for a long time will cause the cat to develop alopecia areata, with hair falling off in patches and the skin exposed.
