DIY dog beauty: 5 pet shampoos you can make at home
Doggy dry shampoo
It’s recommended to bathe your dog once a month, if his skin type is normal. In between baths, sprinkle dry shampoo to ward off unpleasant smells. You can use the dry shampoo weekly, but be sure to get as much off your dog's fur as you can after each application.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of cornstarch
- 1 cup of baking soda
- Essential oil (optional)
Directions:
Add baking soda and cornstarch to an empty plastic spice container. Add a few drops of essential oil (but remember: a little goes a long way). Sprinkle a liberal amount of dry shampoo on your dog’s coat, while shielding his face. Rub the dry shampoo into the coat until it reaches the skin. Brush your dog thoroughly to get the rest of the shampoo of the fur, then rub your dog down with a clean towel.
