Soap is always on the alkaline side, with a pH above 7. In fact, more often than not, the pH of soap is above 9. While I have already talked about how soap’s high pH doesn’t generally concern me when using soap for bathing, I don’t like the idea of using soap on my hair!

How to Use a Dog Shampoo Bar: A Step-by-Step Guide If you don’t have all of the oils I used on hand, you can leave some out and exchange them for acombination of some of the others.

Homemade Dog Shampoo Basics Not all essential oils are safe for dogs, but I chose a mixture of insect repelling essential oils for this soap that are said to be safe for dogs.

I chose these particular oils to help leave behind a scent that will help keep some insects away.That’s also one of the reasons I choseneem oil for this soap. While I haven’t noticed my dog’s hair being dull after washing his hair with the soap, I like the idea of following up the soap with a bit of conditioner.Using a dog shampoo bar is a simple process that can easily be incorporated into your pet’s grooming routine. First, ensure your dog’s fur is thoroughly wet. This can be done in the bath, under a shower, or using a hose, depending on what your dog finds most comfortable. Blend all of your oils together, and heat slightly if the temperature of the mixture is under 100°F. This recipe is for a Shampoo Bar that is made using the cold process method. The basic recipe is the same as the others I have written about in the past, but you will have two sets of ingredients. It has a strong scent of tea tree, which is as bit medicinal but fresh, and the shampoo does a fabulous job of soothing irritated areas on the skin.
