Well, why not just buy some more dog shampoo. :OIs it Ok to use People Shampoo (Pantene) on Dogs when you give them a bath??
I do it all the time..its perfectly safe..just don't use it everyday, try to use dog shampoo occasionally Report Abuse

A dog's skin is many times more sensitive that a human's : according to my vet. People shampoo is not the best choice, but the limited time of exposure and thorough rinsing lessen the risks of reaction, Report Abuse

I use human body soap on my doggy. Dog shampoo gave him itchy dandruff. Report Abuse

not if you use it regularly - the PH is different and it will dry the skin and could cause allergys
Yes, its fine. Its preferable to use medicated dog shampoo, but if you run out, then Pantene will do. Make sure you rinse well.
I use people shampoo and conditioner on my dogs, and they are softer and smell great. And after 11 years, my oldest girls seem none the worse for it.
Don't use it too often. It people shampoo is more likely to dry out their skin and make them itchy or dandruffy.
no, no, no, not even baby shampoo. they are formulated differently. dawn dish soap is fine, and is great for helping to deflea puppies or dogs that can't have flea shampoo used on them. this would be a better alternative next time if you find yourself in the same situation again.
probably not the best... just don't do it again, it may have some bad long-term side effects.
YES it is okay. My pup loves to smell good!
yea its fine, just be careful with their eyes
Not really...People Shampoo washes away oil...but pets need oil on their skin..it will irritate it and dry it out and cause a lot of itching and dandruff...Good luck
Nope, you shouldn't use people's shampoo on dogs. Dogs


have a thick furcoat that needs proper care. If you continue to use it, it just might cause allergie or other


problems. Please use regular dog shampoo and ask for


advise at the local pet store if you still have doubts.
NO!!!!! Human shampoo irrates the skin on a dog. My dog groomer taught me to use dishwashing liquid like Dawn, Joy, ect. And it works fine! Been doing it for years now.
