How To Make A Fantastic DIY Dog Shampoo

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unscented liquid Castile soap (like Dr. Bronner’s – it’s natural and plant-based)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (balances pH, helps repel fleas)
  • 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel (soothes skin, adds moisture)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional — helps with dry skin and adds shine)
  • 5–10 drops lavender or chamomile essential oil (optional, for scent and calm vibes)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a squeeze bottle or old shampoo container.
  2. Shake it like a Polaroid picture.
  3. Wet your dog thoroughly, apply shampoo, lather up (avoid eyes and ears), and rinse well.
