The animal soap you are referring to is ..... Orvus!
It is actually classed as a detergent, despite the "soap" name.
I have used it a lot for washing dairy cattle for shows, but never for quilts.
You need to make sure that you get it fully rinsed out of your quilt (and off the animal).
If not, it can stay in the quilt ......
and could attract dirt to the quilt, and ultimately could have an overall detrimental effect.
If by chance you have hard water ... it can be even harder to get it rinsed out of the quilt.
For some people (and animals) with sensitive skin, it can be very harsh on your skin.
For some there could be an allergic reaction.
I'm not saying to not use it .... but beware of some of the negatives.
I know many swear by it!
