Natural Dog Shampoo for Sticky Situations
Dogs by nature are very inquisitive creatures. They love to explore places where they are best to avoid – underneath a stationary car or trash bins. Many times, they come home with a total different “look”. And no matter how many times you try to cleanse him with regular shampoo, those contaiminated areas just won’t come off. Instead you end up having a dog with dry skin and many bruised spots.
I’ve got a homemade concoction for you (urhm .. for your dog)! This is a natural dog shampoo to combat those sticky situations.
Ingredients:
- 250 ml (1 cup) cornmeal
- 250 ml (1 cup) all-purpose flour
Needed item(s):
- Laundry Tub or
- Cardbroad box or
- Bath Tub
Preparation:
Mix the ingredients in a bowl. Increasing or decreasing amounts according to your dog’s size as powder should cover the entire oily or sticky spots.
How to use it:
- Pour the mixture into a tub where you place your dog in it. (if you’ve a large breed dog, you might have to put him in a bath tub that is dry)
- Rub the mixture onto the contaminated area of fur. Be careful to avoid his eyes, nose and ears.
- Continue applying and rubbing until you can brush the mixture off his fur.
- Use a wide-tooth dog comb on the areas that you’d covered, as this is to double check that you really got rid of the contaminated areas.
- Once done, discard the used mixture and follow up with a regular dog shampoo of your choice.
Special Note:
The reason this natural dog shampoo for sticky situations works great is that flour and cornmeal are naturally absorbent, so oils and other contaminants don’t stand a chance against them.
