The one time I had to give my cat a bath, she was so terrified that I ended up in the bath tub with her. She finally calmed down and just curled up around me in the water. BEST BATH EVER
Sounds adorable!
The one time I had to give my cat a bath, she was also terrified that I ended up in the bath tub with her. Then she po*ped 💩 on me. WORST NIGHTMARE EVER.
@@mhabuoi well at least you were already in a bath/shower 😂
I have been using Earthbath for my cat since he was about 10 weeks old I love it. About $15 for a bottle but he only gets bathed every 4-6 weeks so it lasts a long time. Fragrance-free but still leaves him smelling fresh and his coat soft.
I swear by PawPurity! It's 100% natural and organic. Made with plants & minerals. Some essential oils but not much
I LOVE dawn dish soap. It’s a holy grail when fostering cats/kittens who have fleas that you have to get rid of
This is so wonderful and so helpful THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for your video! You always have great content. Any time a notification from your channel pops up is a must watch for me!
A little side note on this topic would be that Dawn is NOT cruelty free. They do test on an animals, so to me it's a no immediately.
Malrie you and both your cats are beautiful thank you for your very helpful information 🐈💓
I use earthbath fragance free on my cats because it’s gentle and it doesn’t lather that much. I just gave my cats a bath one after 6 months. I don’t tend to give them frequent baths but they require one at least every six months.
Could you review the best toothpaste/dental cleaning products for cats? Really struggling to brush my kitty’s teeth she seems to hate every toothpaste I try
Which toothpaste did you try?
Most veterinarians recommend Virbac ua-cam.com/video/6Q9QhuNLz-w/v-deo.html Arm & Hammer also makes a cat toothpaste ua-cam.com/video/TfgVv9UblYw/v-deo.html both seem to work well. If you have a kitty you're lucky even easier though it's possible to start brushing an adult cat's teeth like mine at age 5 and now he waits for toothbrushing after each meal.
Absolutely! We've gotten a lot of requests for this recently and plan to do a video on it in the near future.
In the last 35 years i never needed to bath one of my cats. Thank you for your first sentences!
Комментарий готов спасибо друзья люблю вас
I used to bath my cats but I stopped bc they really don’t need it they groom themselves
@@lucyk6396 I still bath my cat time to time to get rid of the remaining fleas on their coat.
@@lucyk6396 I also take them to the vet 3 times a year
I think long hair cats need baths
Just now put Earthbath in my Amazon cart. Thank you!
Hope it works for you! Thanks.
Thanks for the tip! We washed our cats but we used Burt bees kitten shampoo. Will try the other products that you recommended ❤️
Thank you for your video! My 1 year old cat will be getting his second bath ever soon (1st bath was after we found him outside) .. and I was looking for good shampoos. He seems to be having a problem with dry skin so I’m hoping earthbath and maybe some coconut oil after that bath with help!:) thanks for all the helpful information!
You're suppose to dilute Earthbath shampoo it says on the bottle it is ultra concentrated. I use this once a week on my Sphynx and 1 bottle has lasted forever!
Also would love to hear your opinion on what collars you prefer etc best quick release safety etc please ❤️
We have a Sphynx with either yeast or bacteria scabs on his skin, little dark blotches, I was recommended Trizchlor for this
I am getting a kitten in a few weeks. So, I’ve been educating myself about how to care for him in all ways to give him the best quality of life as possible. Extremely informative! Thank you!
I primarily use pet wipes for poopy paws or stuck poop for my long haired... only baths with dawn when they first came home for fleas
Thank you much for sharing this video🔸🔶✨🛸
My housemate works with the rescue and she says dawn dish soap is helpful when your cat has fleas. You need to shower them a bit longer (about 5 minutes) than when you give them a regular shower. I’ve never had to wash Papas (myself) thankfully. The most was using a baby wipe to get some poop that was dangling💩
Also thank you for the reviews
Worked 8 years in a vet clinic - for fleas get some Capstars will kill all fleas within 24 hrs and do not use a dog flea shampoo - it has an ingredient that is poisonous for your cat. Then it is best to treat the cat montly for 3 months with a product sold at the vet like Advantage. If you use a shampoo, get one specifically designed for cats like Chubbs bar.
Your pillow cat behind you on your right, that’s exactly how my cat Mr. T looks like haha!
There are several shampoos which my friends have used like oatmeal shampoos ( several brands ) , another from Burts Bees & another from Wahl. I would never put dawn on a cat. Unless it had motor oil on it . !!
My go to is water wipes 99.9% water the baby ones for my boy as he’s majority white and a fluffy boy and often gets dirty face and paws and when he was a kitten and ever had upset tummy would use to help clean his behind area hahaha
could you please review tiny tiger and/or greenies also does anyone have tips to help a cats confidence when they prefer to be on the ground
Could you maybe do a review on the dogness App feeder mini
my cats like to roll in dirt and one has environmental allergies, i bathe them every 2-3 months or whenever they start to look grimy. we try and do it quickly so it’s less stressful for them and they tolerate it okay most of the time
What do you think of the burts bees dander reducing wipes?
I will try dawn soap ❤😊
My cat isn’t very good at cleaning himself and he has dandruff and his fur on his back looks and feels really oily, I’ve only given him a bath twice and I think he really needs one he stinks too haha
Hello! Love all your videos! Is there possible have a cleaning spray products reviewing video? Like how to clean toy, cat tree, cat bed, or human bed, but doesn’t hart cat. I am so afraid of using some dangerous or wrong cleaning products. Thanks a lot!
We'll consider it! Thank you.
Great!👍👍
Odd, I was just thinking about what kind of shampoo to use on my 16 year old cat. He is getting a little lax on his grooming. He doesn't have fleas and all I currently have is flea shampoo. There's a review idea: flea shampoo. I have only used Harts and Sergeants with the latter having worked the best. I bought it over 5 years ago and the stuff still kills fleas. The Harts got tossed because it quit working after a couple years.
Hartz shampoo has harmed and killed pets. Seriously I would NOT use it. For fleas, the best preventive/treatment is something from the vet. I personally use Revolution.
No Dawn on any animal unless there is an emergency. It has two agents associated chemicals, it is the wrong pH and unsure why you would say otherwise. It is a last* resort for animals that have topical contamination. People who perpetuate the myth that Dawn is a good option need to spend some time and investigate why they are in the wrong.
My pH test found that it was similar to the other shampoos shown here and came the closest to 7, which is recommended. Regarding the other chemicals, I will have to look into it. I know this is an area of controversy.
We had one cat who would pee and poop in her carrier on the ride to AND from the vet and would sadly be covered... every time, even with towels or liners. She didn’t like showers but didn’t fight either. It was a necessary evil. 😔
Can you give your thoughts on Walmart's brand cat wipe/ingredients? "Vibrant Life Vanilla Coconut Deodorizing Wipes for Cats & Kittens". They are popular and sell out fast at mine, thank you!
They seem a bit heavy on the added fragrances, personally, but they could be an acceptable choice.
@@AllAboutCatsYT Thank you! Really appreciate it!
I also have a cat Royal Aquarium fairies I don't understand which shampoo to use
Very best video
That was gret to watch 😻🐈🐾and what are you going to try next week 😉stay safe 💖
We're doing a video on new kitten essentials! Thank you.
@@AllAboutCatsYT im so exited for this video We might get a kitten so it will be good to watch it 🐾🐾🐾
Can you try Bert’s Bees Shampoo?
My geriatric felines get bathed once a month. They actually seem to enjoy their spa day. I have been using Hylyt but now cannot find it anywhere. It must be discontinued. 😞
Any thoughts on shampoo that doesn’t need to be rinsed out? I’m fostering an old cat with kidney disease that doesn’t groom herself well. I’ve used a leave in foam a few times on her but I’m not pleased with the residue it leaves behind.
Burts Bees has a waterless shampoo more like spray bottle and they have wipes too.
Hello can you plss review Tropiclean shampoo and other products of Tropiclean. Thankyou.😊❤
We'll consider it!
Can you review burts bee products (shampoo, dry shampoo and wipes) for cats? Great video btw, as usual very informative for my cats!!
I second! I use their rinse free shampoo for my kitties
Noted! We'll consider reviewing Burts Bees products. Thank you!
I use the waterless shampoo and the dander wipes as an alternative to bathing which my cat is not happy with. I like both them so far.
@@ericapoe I use their human shampoo on myself also! Great if you have curly hair 😂
I was literally on my way to the store for cat shampoo😳
What about using baby shampoo? Does baby shampoo kill fleas? Can we use dog shampoo on cats? Sometimes I can only find dog shampoo on the shelves.
What do you think about the Burts Bee's Cat Shampoo?
Good! I know that they have a kitten shampoo and a dry one, both of which seem to be pretty decent options. If we'd done a longer list, I'd have included them here.
I had over now 4 cats but let's make it five why? There is a cat keeps going to my house am 11 btw and I keep feeding the cat 🐱
Any tips for elderly female kitty w stud tail? Her white fur turned yellow..
Hi M K, do you know what the cause of your cat's stud tail is? This article may help: www.catster.com/cat-health-care/stud-tail-in-cats
You recommend waterless shampoo?
Nacho cheese cat is when I end up with hairballs
does anyone know if Well & Good oatmeal cat shampoo is safe for cats. i bought it before thinking about if it’s safe ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I’ve also heard that baby shampoo is good aswell is that true?
Brittney, yes. Baby shampoo tends to be more alkaline and can be a good option. Check the ingredient list to make sure it's a simple, fragrance-free formulation.
I have had two cats get motor oil on them I couldn't get them to cooperate for a full bath since cats hate water on them How do you get cats to be a willing participant in a shampoo?
Hi there. You might appreciate our guide to bathing a cat successfully: allaboutcats.com/how-to-bathe-a-cat
@@AllAboutCatsYT TY..
Would the dish soap be ok for a sphinx cat?
Hi Lexi, if you are regularly bathing a Sphynx cat, I would recommend a shampoo that has some kind of moisturizer.
My cat was on a road trip with me and just peed on itself, I bathed it and the sent is still there what should I do?
Sorry to hear that. You may just need to bathe her again, making sure to get in any hard-to-reach places. If she has a long, thick coat, that may be holding some of the pee smell, and you may need to consider shaving as a last resort (certainly not ideal if it's cold where you live).
How often would you wash your cat? once a month, twice a month, once every two months?
Assuming you don't have a hairless breed, your cat shouldn't need a regularly "scheduled" washing at all! They're generally capable of their own grooming. It's only for when sudden problems arise such as them getting oil or cheese on them (like malorie said) or covering themselves in poop (happened to my cat...).
As 123firebird4 noted, there is no regular schedule for cleaning a cat, unless they are a hairless breed. Forest has been bathed once in the last 6 years, and Wessie's been bathed a handful of times in the last 12.
Our rescue cat is still not comfortable being picked up or held. (She's cuddly when she wants to be.) I've noticed she has some matted poop on her bottom, and don't how to clean her up since she's so non-compliant. What would you suggest?
Do you think you could manage to get a wipe to her bottom? That would be a first step, but I'm thinking that you're going to need to trim or shave that area to get off the matted poop and prevent further matting. Of course, that would be a whole other ballgame and I think the trick is going to be to pull out your cleaning or trimming tools when your cat is relaxed and ready for cuddles.
@@AllAboutCatsYT thanks!
How about using human's Baby Shampoo on cat or kitten
If you do, make sure it's unscented.
Those wipes were interesting until you showed that it contained aloe vera which I’ve read can be pretty toxic to cats if ingested. I’d definitely stay clear of that for my cute evil twins!
Hi there, good point, but pet products that contain aloe vera are processed to exclude the components that may be harmful to cats: animalwellnessmagazine.com/aloe-vera-safe-dogs-cats/
What’s the harm in getting earth bath with a fragrance?
None, necessarily. The recommendation to avoid scented products is largely based on speculation that our cats *might* be uncomfortable with foreign scents on their body. Considering that cats are so fastidious about their cleanliness and generally want nothing to do with anything that might change their natural smell, this makes sense. However, we don't know for certain that these fragrances will be irritating, either mentally or physically.
What about leave in shampoos?
My cat doesn't need a lubricating shampoo, I can barely catch her now. Lol
Hello ! May I kindly ask your Instagram or email or a way to contact you please ? Saw your test of litter robots in the video of last december. As i would like to buy the open air 3 litter robot, I would like to ask you some more questions. 😊 Thanks.
Hi Myriam, if you'd like to talk about the Litter-Robot III directly, you can email us at the address on the "about" tab of the All About Cats UA-cam channel or make a post in our new forum: allaboutcats.com/community
@@AllAboutCatsYT
Thanks :) So I have recently ordered the Open Air 3 Litter Robot for my two cats. What would be the best clumping clay litter for you? I've heard of Tidy cats, Ever clean and World's Best Cat Litter. I'm looking for a good one, not too dusty and a litter that will not stick to my cats fur or paws as we are in an appartment. Thanks a lot in advance.
@@AllAboutCatsYT I forgot to mention that I live in Europe.
If its good enough for penguins its good enough for me
Hi Mallory 😛😛😛
So… whats the best option..?
Depends on who you are! :)
I like the Earthbath shampoo best, but you'll need to decide based on your needs.
You look like James Mcavoy
Plzz mam help me
I came here to see the orange cat get bathed and now am a bit disappointed
Early gang pog
Dawn dish soap, really? Wow that’s a first for me😭😭🤨🤨🤨🤨
Why can’t you just say the price,
Since all of the bottles are different sizes, I thought a per-ounce price would be more helpful for comparison.
Dawn is not cat shampoo.
why if people say it’s good for kittens that came and got fleas vets have recommended it
Hi
Your so pretty 😍
