Yes, you can put body powder on dogs.  However, some of the elements in these body powders may not be ideal for dogs. But these body powders do have a positive effect on a dog's body. Your pet dog can struggle with health problems from such body powders if he or she starts ingesting the powder.  Ideally, if you are using human body powder, you should use baby body powder instead of adult body powder. The baby body powder is gentle on the skin and causes less irritation to dogs in comparison to adult body powder.  Baby body powder is not only safe for cleaning the body of your pet dog, but such body powders also come with a fragrance that your dog may like. However, make sure that the powder does not contain talc, as explained above.
