If you don’t feel comfortable washing your dog with a shampoo whose list of ingredients you can’t even pronounce, here’s a great recipe for a homemade dog shampoo. All the ingredients are easy to get hold of, or you may have them at home anyway. The quantity is sufficient for a medium-sized dog, e.g. a Labrador.
Ingredients for dog shampoo:
- 100 g rolled oats
- 100 g baking powder
- 400 ml cups of warm water
- 1 teaspoon mild washing-up liquid from the health food shop
- 5 drops of lavender or peppermint oil
Firstly, blend the oats in a food processor until they have the consistency of flour. Add the remaining ingredients and finish mixing.
Massage the shampoo into your dog’s wet coat for a few minutes before rinsing it out. The baking soda absorbs the dog’s odours, while the oat flakes soothe and cleanse the skin.
You will be amazed at how great your dog smells and how soft his coat has become.
