DIY Homemade Dog Shampoo

These DIY homemade dog shampoo recipes are easy to make. Most of them use basic ingredients you probably already have at home making them some of the easiest DIY shampoo recipes around.

 

Weekly bathing can prevent itchiness, washing allergens away but remember your dog should be groomed regularly too.

Most dogs only require washing if they become stinky. I mean no one likes a stinky dog with bad coat odour right? I like to know what the ingredients are in my pet’s shampoo. You can add some scents to any of these recipes, but make sure you know which essential oils are safe for dogs, and only use a small amount. They have highly sensitive noses remember.
