Christmas Pet Shampoo

posted by Tess on Dec 5

This shampoo will be safe for both cats and dogs. Besides the pleasant smell that permeates the air, Christmas Blend will help to kill & repel fleas, control the growth of bacteria and yeast on the skin, and keep your pets smelling clean.

Ingredients:

* 12 oz of Baby Shampoo or Dr. Bronner’s Magic Liquid Soap
* 4 oz Aloe Vera Juice
* 2 oz Witch Hazel
* 1 oz Glycerin
* ½ teaspoon Cinnamon bark oil
* ½ teaspoon Orange oil
* ½ teaspoon Peppermint oil
* 1 oz Canned Coconut milk (see Asian Food section of your Supermarket)
* 2 Tablespoons of fresh Lemon Juice.

Directions:

Mix all the essential oils with your coconut milk, and add this mixture to the shampoo. Mix aloe, witch hazel, lemon juice, and glycerin all together and add to the rest of the shampoo. Shake well and use. Always make sure you rinse the shampoo off completely, since the oils can cause irritation if left on too long. IF you are a person sensitive to essential oils, you may need to wear gloves when bathing your pets. Always wash off any residual suds off from your hands with running water.

Dry Pet Shampoo

posted by Tess on Jan 9

On the farm here we have some pets who are not fond of getting a bath.

However we still need to get all the seeds and dirt from their coats. Dry shampoo helps in more ways than one it saves your back from trying to get them in the bathtub and saves stressing your pet as well.

Perhaps this would come in handy when the next time your pet decides to camauflogue itself as another animal. Sprinkle coarse cornmeal, bran or orris-root over the entire coat. Brush it in and the dirt out!

For scented shampoo try adding a split vanilla bean to your dry mix a few days before using.
