Almost all commercial
pet shampoos are made of harsh chemicals like SLS, PEG, Pthalates, SLES etc.
The skin of the dog is very sensitive to these chemicals and continued application
of chemical based shampoos can lead to various complications like skin
allergies, burns and corneal ulcers. Dog owners the world over nowadays opt for
natural shampoos for their pets so that there won’t be any allergic reactions
on the dog’s fur. Since natural dog shampoos are very costly products one can
make substantial savings by switching over to homemade dog shampoo. The dog shampoo can be made at home using
easily available and less costly ingredients that are purely natural and cause
no allergy to the dog’s skin. Dog shampoo is made at home using a host of
natural products such as vinegar, bran, oatmeal, baking soda etc. Each
ingredient has a specific action like deodorizing, cleansing, conditioning,
eliminating the parasites etc. The common homemade
dog shampoo contains 3 to 4 ingredients all of which are easily available
and are inexpensive.
Dry
& Wet shampoos
The homemade dog shampoo can be either dry
type or wet type. The dog owners can opt for either type according to their
preferences and prepare the same at home. Wet shampoos generally contain 2 – 3
ingredients mixed in water. Dry shampoo usually will have one or two dry
ingredients that can be directly applied to the dog’s skin and rubbed using
hands or a hand brush. When wet shampoo is used lathering as well as rinsing is
required. Many pet owners use the dry shampoos in between two wet baths to
neutralize the bad smell of the dog’s skin and also to prevent growth of pest.
