I saw it in pets at home and nearly bought it but decided to buy pet wipes instead.

I'm not sure how a good product it would be. I'd be concerned about piggies washing themselves and getting it in their mouths...whose to say it's safe? I'm not sure I see the point of a waterless shampoo, if a piggy needs bathing, then a bath it is. @Amym91

Besides, it's much more fun, wrapping them in towels after and giving them a treat for being humiliated

Yeah it's from pets at home.
I've got wipes for them but thought the waterless shampoo sounds easier than a bath but I'm not sold on the idea so though I'd see of anyone else uses it and if ita safe

In general the principle of water less shampoos is that you rub an absorbent powder into the hair and it soaks away excess oils and masks smells.
But they tend to be quite drying (speaking very generally - it is impossible to know without seeing the specific product).
They don't technically clean at all - just absorb oil and cover up smells.
I just don't see the point really, plus I imagine they could be quite drying to sensitive piggie skin.
Personally I would stick to a regular bath with an appropriate wet shampoo.
