Transfer the mixture into an old shampoo or conditioner bottle. Make sure to thoroughly rinse out the bottle to remove any existing shampoo or conditioner.

Transfer the mixture into old shampoo/conditioner bottles. Rinse out the bottles thoroughly before transferring.
Tighten the lid on the bottles. Shake the bottles up to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Be sure to shake the bottle before each use.
Dry Skin Dog Soap

Apply the mixture to your dog after thoroughly wetting his fur. Store any leftover dog soap in a container with a lid.
