Guest guest Posted February 7, 2000 Report Share Posted February 7, 2000 OK - I gotta know....what breeds & where are you at? I do Berners & Swissies in CA...I would LOVE to be able to make dog shampoo's or bars but have always thought they may turn out to be too drying for some reason. I will try these recipes with the great additions of shea & mango butters to help nourish. What about avocado & jojoba? Has anyone made any super yummy soaps for their dogs? Michele << Hello Athena, You asked: >>I hope that this post is not inappropriate for this list, but as a dog breeder, groomer and show handler, I find I would really like to come up with some home made dog shampoos. Any help on recipes that could be adapted and what ingredients might be needed to achieve my goals in what I want to accomplish with this.<< >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said this was the best thing ever - even over the ones specifically made for dogs that are on the market/stores. As they live in the country they needed something that could get some type of grass out of the coat but still leave the coat in healthy condition. We no longer have a dog so can't say for myself whether it is good or not only that these customers were willing to wait 5 weeks for the soap (I cure castile for at least 8 weeks).

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2002 Report Share Posted October 26, 2002 I am happy to have you post your recipes. That way we all can benefit from them. -co-owner Toiletries List Admin.

List owners I hope I am not breaking major rules, but I am going to post them here. I tried sending to you privately, but it was returned to me: For ear infection, " Blue Power Ear Treatment " INGREDIENTS: 16 Oz. Isopropyl Alcohol 4 Tablespoons Boric Acid Powder 16 Drops Gentian Violet Solution 1% Mix together in alcohol bottle and shake well. You will also need to shake solution every time you use it to disperse the Boric Acid Powder. To use, purchase the " Clairol " type plastic bottle to dispense solution to affected ears. TREATMENT: Evaluate condition of ears before treating and if very inflamed an sore do not attempt to pull hair or clean out ear at all. Wait until inflammation has subsided which will be about 2 days. Shake the bottle each time before using. Flood the ear with solution (gently squirt bottle), massage gently to the count of 60, wipe with a tissue. Flood again on first treatment, wipe with a tissue, and leave alone without massage. The dog will shake out the excess which can be wiped with a tissue, the Gentian Violet does stain fabrics. (so do this outdoors!) The SCHEDULE of treatment is as follows: Treat 2x per day for the first week to two weeks depending upon severity of ears. Treat 1x per day for the next 1-2 weeks. Treat 1x per month (or even less frequently, depending on the dog). All of these ingredients should be available at a pharmacy. Despite the alcohol, the dog will not object to even the first treatment. The Boric Acid Powder soothes the ear. The Gentian Violet Solution is an ant-infection agent. The solution appears to work well on any and all ear problems from mites to wax to canker. After the 2nd or 3rd day you can clean out the ear with a Q-tip or cotton balls. Their success rate for this treatment is 95-99%. Those who do not succeed have usually not done the treatment long enough or have not been regular about it. Dogs on the verge of ear canal surgery have been returned to normal with only the regular follow-up treatment to keep the ear healthy. If an infection seems to be remaining in the treated ear after the above course of treatment, ou may also have some Pseudomonas bacteria in the site. This can be eradicated by using a gentle flush of raw apple cider vinegar and water (warm). Use 2 Tablespoons of vinegar to one cup of water, 2 x per week. They have found the Blue Power Solution to be effective for treating fungus-type infections on the feet and elsewhere on the dog, for cuts on dogs or people, and for hot spots. You may find other uses for this simple anti-infective agent. Remember it is for external use only and be careful not to get into the eyes. " FOR DRY EARS: 1 part garlic infused olive oil, 1 part distilled water, 1 part distilled white vinegar. To create an emulsion, add water and oil, then slow add vinegar shaking vigerously between additions. Squirt into ears, massage, and wipe out excesss. FOR DAMP EARS: (See apple cider solution above, or use equal parts vinegar, distilled water and rubbing alcohol) Watch if they give you Otomax for the ears, there have been indications in young dogs where they have lost their hearing after prolonged use of this drug. One more note on ear problems, these are most often indicative of a food allergy, so you may want to try something different.
