Can you use dog shampoo on a goat?

[Oncoming Storm]

So, I just brought home a 1mo old rejected goat kid and she is very itchy, like almost always scratching somewhere. I had thought maybe giving her a bath but all I have are various dog shampoos. I have all the way from all natural to puppy flea and tick to normal adult flea and tick. I’d thought a combo the all natural and puppy shampoo would work just to soothe her skin and remove possible parasites but I don’t want to use them if it’s not good for them. Thoughts?

I'd think it'd be fine, I'd do the natural and puppy mix.

Agree it’ll probably be fine. I use dawn dish soap or suave when I was one of my animals

There is no reason not to use the dog shampoo. When I had my goats, I used anything handy. However, if the kid is itchy, she probably has lice. Pick up some louse powder and dust her with it. Lice are notoriously hard to see.
