Beckys Fabulous Dog And People Shampoo Recipes

I wanted a recipe that would discourage the fleas and soothe my dog's itchy skin. The only recipes I could find online used icky things like dish soap, which will dry a dog's skin. I see this as a base idea for a dog (and people) shampoo. If you don't have some ingredients or think others would be better, switch it around. A few notes: Be sure to grind the oatmeal very well, otherwise you'll be picking out little pieces from your dog's coat. The turmeric is a very healthy, healing herb. However, it's also a bit of a dye. I didn't see this as a problem since both my dog and I have brownish blonde hair. Any lightening or reddening the turmeric did was a plus. But you may not like this. Both the essential oils are known to be good for the coat and bad for fleas. You may want another oil as well as or instead of for a different smell or different effects.

Quick, easy and simple remedy to keep on hand for those stinky emergencies! This works great for washable things like the dog, clothes etc... AS WELL AS NON-WASHABLE items like carpet, furniture, AIR etc..... Worked great one very late night when the dog just HAD to go out ... to chase a skunk, and run back into the house and roll on the carpet! AAAARRGGGHHHHH Now the bottle stays full and at the ready AND it is portable for use anywhere. Which is great because we all know that skunk happens! hehehehehehe

I haven't tried this but this is suppose to help dogs with dry or itchy skin, even hot spots. I am putting this here for safe keeping and hope it helps our best friends. If this works for hot spots, then it is worth a million bucks. My baby gets them a couple of times a year and licks himself half to death. The recipe calls for original Listerine, zaar wouldn't let me put in as an ingredient. I have tried this and it works great for dry itchy skin. His dandruff disappeared.
