Instructions
Soothing Shampoo
Measure and pour 1/3 cup of glycerin,1 cup lemon liquid Joy, 1 cup white vinegar and 1 quart of water through a funnel into a liter-size bottle.
Put the lid on the bottle tightly and shake to mix the ingredients.
Use the mixture as a shampoo whenever your dog seems to be irritated or itchy. Leftover shampoo can be saved in a tightly closed bottle for at least three months. Always shake the bottle before using to remix the contents.
Oatmeal Scrub
Pour 1 cup of colloidal oatmeal in a bowl. Add 1 cup of warm water and stir with a spoon to combine thoroughly until you have a pasty substance.
Pour the oatmeal mixture into a large, clean sock and tie off the top with a twist tie or by looping the top of the sock around itself and pulling it back through the hole to form a knot.
Scrub the affected areas of your dog's skin with the oatmeal-filled part of the sock gently in a circular motion for approximately 10 minutes.
Wipe the areas with a warm, wet wash cloth. Repeat the process as needed.
