How to Make Your Own Dog Shampoo That Helps With Dry Skin

If you notice your dog scratching a lot, dry skin may be the problem. If your dog has dry, itchy skin, add some moisture to it by using a homemade shampoo for dry skin. Although you can buy commercial dog shampoo for dry skin, these products are often costly and ineffective. Making your own dry skin dog shampoo will help to heal the dog's skin and save you money in the process.
