Here's a recipe for dog shampoo that a co-worker (Sam) found online. She tried it on her bulldog (Diesel), and said it's awesome, and makes Diesel smell great!
It's easy to make and inexpensive. Store it in an old shampoo bottle, then just shake it well before shampooing your dog.
What you'll need:
A container, such as a shampoo bottle or other squeeze bottle.
WHITE vinegar.
CLEAR liquid antibacterial soap. Sam used Ivory, and was very pleased with the results.
Mix equal parts vinegar and soap in your container. Shake well. You're done!
Use the shampoo the same way you would any dog shampoo. Be careful not to get it into your dog's eyes or ears.
Start with a small amount because it lathers well, and work the suds deep into the coat. Rinse well and dry.
There is no wet-dog smell, and should be no residue on your dog's coat, thanks to the vinegar. The antibacterial aspect helps with parasites, dirt, and even minor skin abrasions and itchy or flaky skin.
According to online comments from users, the fresh smell stays for days, and your dog's coat will be soft and ultra-clean.
AN emergency team rescued 1,000 dogs from a puppy mill nightmare this past weekend in West Virginia. They have worked feverishly to get every last dog and puppy -- some as young as two days old -- to an emergency shelter to be carefully assessed by team veterinarians. The next step: to find the loving homes they so deserve.
"Pancakes for Puppies," a breakfast fundraiser to benefit United Against Puppy Mills, will be 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. Sunday, September 21, at The Pancake Farm, 1032 S. State St., Ephrata, PA.
Cost is $7.50 for adults and $3.95 for children 8 and younger.
A specially selected menu of breakfast items will be available. Bring your friends and family, pay at the door and enjoy some wonderful food.
Outside, there will be several dog rescues and a special young lady will be holding a bake sale. Proceeds from the bake sale and breakfast benefit UAPM.
Good news -- a West Virginia puppymill is closing.
Bad news -- Dachshund Rescue of North America needs to find foster homes for 700 dachshunds. Lots of pregnant moms, adults and puppies.
If anyone is willing to foster, or if any rescue is willing to take these pups, please contact Dona at fortdox@gmail.com. If you want her phone number, e-mail Amy Snyder at doxierocks76@yahoo.com.
