Yes, you can. Fleas can be transmitted from dogs onto just about anywhere you sit, sleep, or wear on your body. They're small, but they pack a punch with sucking blood, and the bites are VERY itchy!

∙ 12y agoYou should only use a shampoo specially made for dogs. The reason is, dogs lick their fur, humans generally don't lick their hair. A human shampoo will be non toxic, but made with the expectation that little, if any, will be consumed. A dog however may end up with more than a safe amount in its system, which could be dangerous - especially in the case of anti-parasitic shampoo.

Can you catch headlice if your over 50 years?
Parasites such as lice really do not know or care how old their host may be. There is no age limit. Possibly the only advantage that the elderly may have, in avoiding head lice, is that they often have less hair, and head lice need hair to live in. Bald people won't get head lice.
