Guinea Pigs should be bathed in low, warm water, with baby shampoo. Hold your Pig while bathing, or put in a little basket so then you can wash him/her easier. Keep the water/soap out of his/her eyes, and when your done dry her/him.
Conditioner is not really needed, your Guinea shouldn't get knots in its fur or anything. Shampoo should work fine. Special Guinea Pig made soap, or shampoo is okay, but make sure not to get any in it's eyes. Johnson's shampoo I do not recommend, because some of the contents could hurt your Guinea. Get the 'Tear Free' kind, and that should be great.

∙ 13y agoTry using a ferret or other small animal shampoo, such as a rabbit shampoo.If that is not available, try a dog or cat shampoo. If available, try looking for a ferret or other small animal shampoo first, since this will be the closest thing to your Guinea Pig. However, most shampoos for humans that say they were tested on animals usually work safe on them. Guinea pigs do usually not like being wet, so try not washing him or her too much. You can also use a baby shampoo.

∙ 14y agoGuinea Pigs do have a shampoo. I got a bottle of shampoo for Guinea Pigs at an all animal shop.Mine's called Premium Small Animal Shampoo. You can use it on rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. It also conditions and deoderizes. If you don't know already there is also a Coat Refreshener. It's all by a company called Pet Scensations.

You can get special guinea pig shampoos but these are quite hard to find.

I you wish to give your guinea pig a bath or shower you, will need the following items. A large jug filled with lukewarm water, a basin/bucket/bath tub, a towel, and some shampoo/conditioner/soap. OPTIONAL: you could have some treats for your guinea pig :P To bathe your guinea pig, place him in the bath and pour the water over him. massage in the shampoo if you are using any. Wash the shampoo out using more water. Repeat the process if you want to use conditioner. Give your guinea pig rewards throughout the process.
