1/2 cup of Liquid Castile Soap (you can buy one w/ essential oils added like Lavender Castile Soap)
1/4 cup of white vinegar OR apple cider vinegar (I like ACV)
1 tbsp of Vegetable Glycerin OR Olive Oil (I use olive oil although glycerin would be awesome)
2 tbsp of water
**Optional: 3-4 drops of essential oil such as geranium oil or tea tree oil (natural tick repellant) or lavander oil.
IMPORTANT: Please ask your vet if certain oils are SAFE before applying.
The Recipe
Use a funnel to pour 1/2 cup of liquid Castile soap into a small, lidded bottle. Add 1/4 cup of either white or apple cider vinegar, one tablespoon of vegetable glycerin or olive oil, and two tablespoons of water. You can add three or four drops of essential oils if you choose. Shake the bottle gently to mix the ingredients. The soap will hold the ingredients together, but gently shake the shampoo before each use to ensure it is properly mixed.
Directions for Use
Wet your canine pal with warm water. Lather the shampoo gently through his fur down to his skin. Take special care to avoid his eyes, as the mixture will sting them. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of the shampoo. Groom your buddy as needed.
