Homemade Allergy Relief Shampoo for Dogs

Hi. I loved your article. My own dog has allergies so for the past three years I have been researching and learning as much as I can about it. I have been making his allergy shampoo for two years now. It works so well for me and for others that I decided to make my homemade dog shampoo available to everyone last October. In addition to what you explained about the pH balance specific to dogs, I noticed that it also keeps the skin from drying out with frequent bathing.

I think homemade dog shampoo is a great solution to the problem of dog allergies because commercial shampoos often contain TRICLOSAN, an antibiotic that not only kills bad bacteria but good bacteria as well. This can be problematic for dogs with yeast problems or when you are trying to strengthen sensitive skin in general. At least that is what my research has taught me.
