How Can I Make Puppy Shampoo at Home?

Puppies are playful and will get dirty very quickly when let outside. Don't be surprised if you spot your puppy rolling around in the dirt. Giving your puppy a bath is a good idea but you need to make sure you are using something that won't cause your puppy's skin to itch. A mild shampoo is needed for this task and you don't have to purchase it at a pet store. You can actually make your own puppy shampoo at home.
