Human products you can use on your dog

Products like baby shampoo, human hair conditioners and even saline eye drops can be used safely on dogs. Cats on the other hand are an entirely different matter since you can give a dog a baby aspirin for pain but it will kill a cat or make them extremely sick.

Some human products, while not useful if used in the same manner can be used in  pinch for a dog. For example the Avon product Skin-so-Soft bath oil can be used as a light spray to repel flies and ticks from a dog. Also a human acne wash can be used on a dog with skin irritations.

Other products that make great dog area fly repellents are pine-sol and vinegar. Mixed in equal amounts and put in a garden sprayer attached to a hose, it makes a great yard, dog run and patio fly repellent that lasts for several days. It also kills that doggy odor from the area.
