Pet shampoos are very expensive to buy ($12+ and the ingredients dont seem that special.

DO NOT use human shampoo/conditioner on your pets. Human shampoo and conditioner are specifically made for the human head. NOT the entire body of an animal. Pets require different nutrients to keep their coats healthy. In winter months animals need their coat to protect themselves from the cold. Their coat also helps them stay cool in the summer. It is up to you to keep their coat healthy to protect them. Quality food is also very important in keeping your pet healthy. If money is an issue, consider buying in bulk to save money in the long run.

It cost about $30 a gallon, but one gallon lasts me over a year (and I give my dogs baths once a week).

If you only wash your dogs once or twice a year, go ahead with the human shampoo. If you bathe them more frequently, and human shampoo seems to be irritating them, try using less, and if that doesn't work, it might be worth it to get a dog shampoo. Baby shampoo would also be a good idea, so you don't have to worry so much about their eyes.

Can I use human hair shampoo to wash my dogs with?

I have used baby shampoo and baby conditioner since my 10 yr old was a puppy. My vet's response was..."if its safe for a baby, its safe for him" The conditioner does nothing except make the hair more manageable to groom. The oils a dog needs for his coat comes from his pores and follicles, this is why you shouldn't was too often. No special shampoo or conditioner does anything for the hair except make it feel "better" to the touch. Hair is dead protein, when you put oil on your "dead" wood furniture it may look better, but it's not more healthy; it's still dead.

Can I use human hair shampoo to wash my dogs with?

I would not use human shampoo on an animal. Human shampoos contain fragrances, oils, and even formaldehyde (yes, the stuff they use to embalm dead people - it's listed as quaternium-15). Formaldehyde is known to cause ear infections, skin problems and even cancer in humans and animals. Putting it in a dog's ear and so close to their eyes which are extremely sensitive (more so than humans) is just asking for problems resulting in vet bills, stress, etc. I would say the $12 shampoo may be worth it.
