It’s got to the stage of Christmas already where I cannot face going to any more shops. Shampoo had run out. Dog “fox poo” shampoo on side of bath. Most logical choice at this stage of the year?!

The difference between dog shampoo and human shampoo is the PH. I forget the details as our little doggie is dead now, but his shampoo had a PH that was different from the PH of human shampoo. I doubt using it once will do any harm at all, but if you used it over the long term, you might irritate your scalp.

I used leftover dog eye drops one weekend when I woke up with conjunctivitis - worked a treat and really made my tail wag.

Realise it’s not what you used OP but the brand Bugalugs is tested on humans and smell amazing! Often wondered myself as my dog’s black fur is mirror shiny!!

Friend just telling me they were off to Morrisons made me shudder.
I decided after the Friday Asda shop that I wouldn’t be back till after Christmas, I’ll manage with Tesco Express, corner shops and garage shop at a push.
Going out for Christmas Dinner so it’s fine.

MIL used it last time they visited. We only use the downstairs shower for the dog and didn't realise MIL was going to shower there. I didn't notice any difference!

I wouldn't personally but fair play!

Or just use washing up liquid with a bit of fabric condition afterwards.

I’ve not had a dog for years but I always absolutely hated the smell of dog shampoo! Who knows if it is ok for humans to use 🤷🏻‍♀️
