Overview

["Native's Shampoo and Conditioner set is a human hair care product, sold as a two pack with a 16.5 fl oz bottle of each. The label targets a range of human hair types, including color treated, fine to dry, and damaged hair, and it's positioned as sulfate and dye free with an Almond and Shea Butter scent.", "The ingredient lists, separate for the shampoo and conditioner, are formulated for human hair and scalp, not for a dog's skin or coat, and the product's own Best Sellers Rank places it in Beauty and Personal Care, not Pet Supplies.", "At $19.74 for the two bottle set, it's priced like a standard drugstore or specialty human hair care product. With 13,700 reviews and a 4.4 star average, it's clearly a popular item, just not one meant for washing a dog."]

Pros

  • Sulfate, paraben, and dye free formula
  • Large, well-established review base with 13,700 reviews at 4.4 stars

  • Two bottle set covers both shampoo and conditioner

Cons

  • Not formulated or labeled for use on dogs at all
  • Human shampoo pH and ingredients aren't matched to a dog's skin, so it shouldn't be substituted for a real dog shampoo
  • Shows up in a pet category despite being a human personal care product

Performance notes

This product's ingredient lists are built around human hair and scalp needs, such as color treated, damaged, or dry hair, with no mention of pet-safe formulation. A dog's skin has a different pH than human skin, so even a gentle human shampoo like this one isn't a recommended swap for a proper dog shampoo.

What buyers say

With 13,700 reviews and a 4.4 star average, this is clearly a well-liked product among human hair care shoppers, but that sentiment reflects its use as a personal care item, not any track record for bathing pets.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this on my dog if I run out of dog shampoo?

It's not recommended. This is a human hair care product without any pet-safe formulation or testing, and a dog's skin pH differs from a human's, so it's better to use a shampoo actually made for dogs.

Why does a human shampoo show up in a dog shampoo listing?

This appears to be a category mix-up. The product itself is marketed and ranked in Beauty and Personal Care for human hair, not in Pet Supplies.

What hair types is this meant for?

The label lists damaged, dry, normal, oily, and wavy hair types, with a focus on color treated and fine to dry, damaged human hair.
