No, a dog shampoo is much gentler. If you would like to use human shampoo, a baby shampoo would be best in case it gets in the eyes. Also, human shampoo tends to have a higher pH level and is too strong for the dog, causing move harm than good. If you do decide to use human shampoo, be sure to rinse very thoroughly so that no residue is left that can cause irritation.
