Thanks for your natural dog shampoo recipe. Can I use this for my 3 months old puppy ? I will add 2 tbsp organic coconut oil as well.

[@luckydogcreations1]

Yes that should be fine!

[@m.m2200]

This sounds quite simple,interesting and safe for my baby with no harsh stuff. How long does it stay at room temperature?

[@luckydogcreations1]

I’ve had it for 3-4 months with no problem . I wouldn’t suggest using it after that.

[@headlightboys3860]

if i use baking powder in place of baking soda do you think it will have the same effect and lovely video!

[@luckydogcreations1]

I have done some research and unfortunately cannot find out if that’s a good substitute , it is toxic to dogs if they ingest a big amount . But in a shampoo there wouldn’t be a great amount . For itchy skin here are some ideas to use: Coconut oil Apple cider vinegar and water Chamomile and green tea soak Aloe Vera gel (Also mentions baking soda and oatmeal ) But I did not see baking powder . Sorry I don’t have a better answer

[@3RM4L]

Can i use this shampoo also for cleaning the dog skin, just like a regular shampoo? thanks

[@luckydogcreations1]

Yes you can!

Does this need to be keep it in the refrigerator and how long can this be out

[@rumzashirkey1723]

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for this simple recipe. I was getting ready to give my dog a bath but realized I might be out of dog shampoo and happen to have the oatmeal and baking soda on hand. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Just one question though. How long does this last and does it get old? 🤔 😊💕

[@luckydogcreations1]

I would not use it past 3 months . I had mine longer than that and it was still good but rule of thumb is 3 -4 months! And thanks for watching!

[@kristinaherren7951]

What’s the shelf life for that shampoo ima make my dogs some thanks so much. Please share

[@luckydogcreations1]

I’ve had mine for 3-4 months . Just check it about once a month and if it starts smelling off then it’s not good to use. I hope this helps

[@trisha7913]

If I were to make glycerin soap for my dog, is that ok on their hair and skin? Oddly. my dog doesn't do good with oatmeal in his shampoo.

[@luckydogcreations1]

Vegetable glycerin is safe to use on dogs , you can put it in pure Castile soap . It acts as a moisture barrier to make his coat shine and help with itchiness as well . However I’m not sure on glycerin bars , depends on what other ingredient goes in it . I hope this helps

[@sisteranna7046]

How long can it be stored ? And does it foaming when use ? Thanks for your attention 😊

[@luckydogcreations1]

I’ve found it can be stored for a few months but the longer it is stored, the less active the oatmeal is. It does not foam. If you want foaming action add some liquid I scented Castile soap

[@juamiglio]

Since there is no preservative and there is water this is going to go bad real quick

[@luckydogcreations1]

@@juamiglio if that is a concern you could keep it in the fridge , but I still have some of the original batch I made and it is still good. Also depends on your location as to how quick it could go bad. Definitely check periodically and use your own judgment.

[@deomatieramnarine559]

Hi can I put apple cider vinegar in this mixture too

[@luckydogcreations1]

Yes you can as long as they don’t have any open sores. . It soothes itchy skin so would be beneficial. Or you can make a 50/50 solution of apple cider vinegar and water and put in a spray bottle to use in between shampoos . Apple cider vinegar and baking soda together cause a chemical reaction that can cause bloating , gas and vomiting , so you would have to take care they don’t ingest it. Or maybe swap out the baking soda for the apple cider vinegar then if they ingest a little it will be safe

[@valentinacampos8791]

Is it tearless?

[@luckydogcreations1]

It’s all natural, but I don’t think it’s tearless, but I also don’t think it will be as irritating as most shampoos .

[@seanfitz79]

How long does this last on the shelf or what preservative can you use?

[@luckydogcreations1]

There are no preservatives to use if you want to keep it natural , but I had mine for 3-4 months and it was still good. I wouldn’t suggest using it longer than that , however you can add grape seed oil, or potassium sorbate (which is not as natural) also keeping it in the fridge will extend the life a bit. But always check first before using

[@thesoapymitten]

Using this without a preservative will give your dog a fungal infection. Where there is water, mold, yeast and bacteria will grow... even if you can smell or see it. I don't recommend this as a soap maker. This is not soap.

[@luckydogcreations1]

@@thesoapymitten thanks for your feedback

[@sydneysssflores894]

Can I add essential oils for smell??

[@luckydogcreations1]

A lot of essential oils are harmful to dogs but the one that is safe is lavender so you can use that one

[@jenncort4471]

Can I add some coconut oil as well?

[@luckydogcreations1]

I think coconut oil should work great , that’d be good for the coat I’m thinking. I haven’t tried it but I’m not seeing a problem.

[@thecdc1738]

coconut oil will keep your dogs fur healthy shiny and smooth

[@daddynowski]

Can we add in olive oil for a moisturizer?

[@luckydogcreations1]

Olive oil can breed bacteria , you can add like a Tablespoon to every cup of water used , but it won’t last as long . Be sure and check it often .Olive oil is good for itch but that’s what the oatmeal is for. For a moisturizer, if you want it to last longer I’d use glycerin .

[@daddynowski]

@@luckydogcreations1 what about olive oil in his food instead of fish oil my dog can't do fish oil

[@luckydogcreations1]

@@daddynowski you can use olive oil for dogs, it does have benefits . You can put it in homemade treats , or drizzle it over his dog food . The recommended amount is no more than a teaspoon for every 20 pounds they weigh , so if a dog weighed 40 lbs no more than 2 tsp daily . Some of the benefits include healthy coat, maintain body weight , boost immune system and help his food taste better . I hope this helps

[@6623Johnny]

does this foam up?

[@luckydogcreations1]

It does not foam up with the ingredients listed here . If you want a more foaming action you could add unscented Castile shampoo . I hope this helps

[@amritabhar700]

Can I use instant oats??

[@luckydogcreations1]

Not in this recipe, you need the more solid not easy to break down oats. However you can use instant oats with a little water to make a paste and massage it into the scalp, which should help relieve itching of scalp. After massaging in rinse off . Hope this helps

[@sandramoreno731]

Love the jar were you store your ingredients where did you buy it at?

Does this have to be refrigerated??

[@luckydogcreations1]

It does not , but it may keep longer if you do

[@eylim14]

Can I add some kind of smell ?

[@luckydogcreations1]

Emily Esparza good question, and it’s important to realize that dogs like to lick themselves and the water and some essential oil are harmful to dogs. So the only essential oil I would recommend would be lavender. Or a little bit of honey possibly.

[@yuh_itz_myafam8223]

Can I use a flavor of Oatmeal?

[@luckydogcreations1]

yuh_itz_mya fam you should use either ground old fashioned oats or oat flour which is what helps their skin. But you could add lavender essential oil which will give it a scent but safe for dogs but dry them thoroughly so they don’t get too much if they lick themselves

[@27kjh]

Flavoured Oatmeal...I hope that was a joke.

[@kimquartermouse2565]

Can you use instant oatmeal ?

[@luckydogcreations1]

Yes you can use it , but make sure it’s unflavored and no added ingredients to it. The oats need to be just oats because that’s what soothes the skin and added ingredients may actually irritate the skin . I hope this helps

[@lifewithliyah2265]

Is it thick or is it watery ?

[@luckydogcreations1]

It is not as thick as most shampoos because of the oats but it is pretty thin but you can add a little salt (.5 salt to 1.5 shampoo ratio) and that should thicken it a little more . Just don’t add too much salt .

[@angrysloth1]

WARM ? How warm

[@luckydogcreations1]

Just heat it up long enough to still be able to touch it but hot enough to dissolve the the other ingredients! . You don’t have to take the temperature , just use your judgement . I’d say like a warm bath .

[@angrysloth1]

Okay thanks, 👍

[@c.j.8853]

Thank you for the recipe. But, in my opinion, this is not shampoo for cleaning a dogs coat. It seems more like a great treatment for dry itchy skin. I like that is all natural and I am going to try it on my dog.

[@luckydogcreations1]

Thanks for the comment and I totally understand what you are saying. I’m glad you will be trying it. If you want it more shampoo like you could use a Tablespoon of unscented baby Castile soap to give it some lather. Thanks for watching! Have a great day

What is the pH of this shampoo?

[@luckydogcreations1]

Great question ! I don’t know exactly but since it is all natural , and I did research of what dog ph level should be and what dog shampoos generally are my guess is it is comparable to regular dog shampoo which is 6.75-7. Dogs are more ph neutral than humans so this is a good ph balance . But I haven’t tested it but like I said going from my ingredients to what’s in regular shampoo. It’s comparable

[@cymar1000]

Not sure about the actual pH level, but since Baking Soda is an alkaline (reduces and even neutralises acidity levels), it should be fine for a dogs. Considering they tend to roll about in all sorts of stuff that can be quite acidic, this will help alleviate any irritation. BTW, a teaspoon of Baking Soda in a hi-ball glass of water is great for heartburn/indigestion.
