Many owners have the idea of making their own bath lotion for dogs. On the one hand, big brands are more expensive, and cheap quality is difficult to guarantee 100%. On the other hand, it is also a sign of loving dogs. Today, I will share with you a relatively simple method for making dog bath gel.

First, the theoretical basis

First of all, we should know that the skin PH of dogs is 7.5, that of humans is about 5.5-6.5, and that of infants is about 7. Then the principle of preparing finished products we have mastered is PH 7.5, which is the same as the PH of dogs.

Second, materials.

Soap base, glycerin, apple vinegar (or white vinegar in the kitchen at home), tea tree essential oil, purified water, PH test paper.

Third, the production process

1. After the soap base is melted in water, add glycerol+apple vinegar+water and stir.

2. Measure the PH value with PH test paper. If it is alkaline, add vinegar to neutralize it; If it is acidic, add soap base to neutralize it.

3. The PH value after neutralization is between 7 and 8.

4. If it is summer, you can add some tea tree essential oil for sterilization. (Lavender+Eucalyptus can also be added)

bottle

Whether it's purchased or homemade, I suggest at least giving it to the dog before choosing whether to use it for a long time, so as not to harm the dog's hair and skin.
