Dog Soap Bar
Cheryl Keeley CK1st@…
4 oz. melt and pour base
1 tablespoon herbal shampoo(I use Aubrey Organics Camomile from the
health food store because I like the ingredients in it)
400 IU vitamin E (My vet says this is great for the dogs coat)
1/4 teaspoon liquid glycerin
essential oils of tea tree, peppermint or lavender
(I wasn’t great at measuring and recording when I made the last
batch, so use your judgment)
I use tea tree oil for it’s antiseptic quality and peppermint since
fleas don’t like the smell of it. For my sister who is allergic to
peppermint I use lavender with the tea tree oil. Lavender is
supposed to have antiseptic qualities also and fleas aren’t drawn to it.
Melt the base and then add the rest of the ingredients. This is better than
liquid soap for dogs because it is easier to use on them. No holding
them in the tub with one hand and trying to balance and open a bottle
with the other. Just rub the bar around on the wet dog. I have a
keeshond and it leaves his coat beautiful.
