DIY Dog Shampoo

Do your pup a solid and make this DIY Dog Shampoo ⏤ it’s all-natural, moisturizing and keeps the fleas (and dandruff) away! So, it’s a win-win-win! 🙌🏾

About the ingredients/supplies

Dr. Bronner’s mild liquid Castile soap

• All-natural, plant-based
• Non-toxic
• Gentle, yet effective

Organic extra virgin coconut oil

• Extremely moisturizing for the coat
• Antibacterial properties helps to heal skin

Lavender essential oil

• Has anti-oxidant properties
• Not to mention the relaxing and the calming properties!
• And the fresh, pleasant fragrance

Fresh rosemary

• Is antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic and antiviral
• Naturally repels insects

Distilled water

• The best option for the cleanest DIY Dog Shampoo possible
• If you don’t have distilled water, filtered water is a close second
• It doesn’t contain any of the nasty minerals found in tap water

Container

• I’ve repurposed an old beverage bottle, if you don’t have anything handy, you can order something similar to mine (linked above 👆🏾)

How to make

1. Boil 3 cups of water
2. Add a sprig of Rosemary to steep
3. Remove water from the heat and allow to warm (and steep). Mine took 1 hour
4. Once warm, remove Rosemary and transfer into bottle
5. Add a heaping tablespoon of Coconut oil
6. Next, add 5 tbsp of Dr. Bronner’s mild liquid Castile soap
7. Followed by 4 drops of Lavender essential oil
8. Screw on cap tightly and shake to combine.
9. Enjoy!

Worth noting

• I’ve stored my DIY Dog Shampoo in a bottle, but you could use a spray bottle like the one I used to make my DIY Surface Cleaner instead for easy application
