Aloe Dog Shampoo

Gentle Aloe Dog Shampoo
Pets are members of  families. If humans and the environment are affected by chemicals, pets are too.
By using an organic homemade dog shampoo, you are increasing your dog's health, as well as your own every time you pet your furry friend.

What you will need:
1/2 Cup Liquid Castile Soap (I used baby-mild)
1/4 Cup Aloe Vera Gel
1/2 Cup Water
1/4 Teaspoon essential oil (Rosemary, or Jasmine, optional)
A few drops of Vitamin E Oil (I used but optional)

What the ingredients do:
Liquid Castle Soap- cleans dogs fur
Aloe Vera Gel- Moisturizes skin, prevents sores, prevents fur tangles
Essential Oil- Adds a fresh fragrance
     - Rosemary in particular- works as a natural flea repellent
Vitamin E Oil- Additional natural moisturizer

Directions:
1. In a bowl, stir together the soap and aloe vera gently enough to make the mixture suds.
2. Stir in the water, essential oil, and vitamin E oil, if using.
3. Transfer into an empty shampoo bottle or container and label

*To use wash and rinse dog as usual

**This is designed only for  DOGS

This recipe is from the book Lavender, Parsley, Peppermint, and Sage.
