NO! Do not use human toothpaste at all! Not even a tiny amount! Some human toothpastes also contain Xylitol, which is an artificial sweetener, and its VERY toxic to dogs!
Human toothpaste will not do any good, even if it is flouride free. Dog toothpaste has enzymes in it that help break down the plaque.

It isn't really recommended that you use any normal 'household object' to brush a dog's teeth, as he could easily choke on it. Short answer: No. Human toothpaste can make a dog very sick, and even be fatal if they swallowed enough of it. You can find toothpaste specifically manufactured for dogs, as well as doggy toothbrushes, at most pet stores. Some vets offices also carry them, though they're usually more costly than what you'd find elsewhere. Last time I checked, Walmart also carries toothpaste/toothbrushes for dogs.

Don't give human toothpaste to your dog!
If you can't get to petco, see if there is a closer pet store or even a grocery store that has pet toothpaste in the petcare section.

You probably should stick to dog toothpaste. Some stuff is lethal in any human toothpaste. But if you do decide to use it, use as little as possible and use lots of water.

I would not recommend doing that. Better safe than sorry. Just wait till you get to the pet store and get a few tubes so you wont run out and get him a doggy toothbrush also. So I would NOT do that if I were you. As the other guy said buy it online and tell your dad instead of driving you to petco ask for his CC(credit card) and buy it online.
