What laundry detergent should I use for my sensitive dog's bed?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. I recommend using a mild or sensitive detergent, that it what I have used on my sheets and clothing, and have never had a problem with my dogs even when they sleep in the bed with me. Dryer sheets are fine too, the only problem comes if the dog ingests them. I hope this helps!

Hello Lipaz, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I definitely advocate for people using a more natural detergent not only for their pets but also for themselves/family. There are way too many chemicals in laundry detergent. Now, has there been any direct correlation between laundry detergent and illnesses in pets? No, but that doesn't mean there isn't any. There is a lot we don't know. I recommend either making your own laundry detergent (many recipes on YouTube and it is not difficult) or you can buy something like Seventh Generation. I think everyone would benefit from this. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Cottons sheets or shredded paper can be very effective, as can lining the bedding area with aeroboard insulation or inch deep rubber matting. If he is also allergic to dust mites, bedding should be replaced/boil washed and the area vacuumed at least once a week

I love HyLyte shampoo. It’s hypoallergenic and doesn’t dry out the coat. It also smells good. Brushing daily will reduce the shedding also. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Winston Bruiser.

I like this shampoo. It smells great! It is also high quality but inexpensive. Won't dry out her skin so you can use it as frequently as you'd like. Hope this helps! https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=114283

My favorite brand is Duoxo. It comes in a shampoo that has chlorhexidine and climbazole that treats bacterial and fungal problems. However, if you are unable to find this or something similar at a pet store then any drug store is likely to have a chlorhexidine OR salicylic acid shampoo in their human shampoo section. I hope this helps! Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can wash your pets toys in any detergent you want to. There are no stipulations to detergent. Especially if mold was on them. You definitely want to add some bleach to the wash to ensure it kills the mold. Follow the instructions on your machine to help prevent any kind of discoloration of the toys. If your pet has a known or suspected allergy, then I would use a hypoallergenic detergent or a baby detergent such as Deft detergent. Good luck with your fur baby Bazzel and best wishes getting her toys cleaned up. : )
