Gee, Your Fur Smells Terrific Dog Shampoo Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup ground oatmeal
1 cup baking soda
4 cups warm water
1 tsp dishwashing liquid (I used method's clementine dishwashing liquid, because it's natural and biodegradable)
5 drops of lavender oil or peppermint oil

Directions:

1. Grind oatmeal in coffee grinder or food processor until it has the consistency of flour.
2. Put all ingredients in a mason jar or container of your choice.
3. Shake well
4. Apply the shampoo to your dog's wet coat, and massage it in for several minutes before rinsing. The baking soda will get rid of doggy odors and the oatmeal will soothe and cleanse your dog's skin.

Oscar is not a huge fan of bath times, so I only give him one every couple of months or so. This dog shampoo recipe not only left him smelling terrific, but his fur was really soft too. Because Oscar is a little fellow, I cut the recipe in half, as he didn't need all that shampoo. Feel free to add or cut the amount according to your dog's size.
