Want a healthy shinny coat? Dry Pet Shampoo Recipes for quick and easy cleaning - Rub into fur and brush

Here's how Dry Pet Shampoo works: Rub the powder deep into your pets fur. The granules binds to the dirt, oil and odor which can then be easily brushed out. Dry Shampoo does not leave behind any sticky residue and thus prevents quick re-soiling.

Dry Pet Shampoo

1/2 to 1 cup bran
1/2 to 1 cup oatmeal or cornmeal

Combine ingredients in a container with tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously to blend. Brush your dog thoroughly with a natural bristle brush to remove any loose dirt. 

Sprinkle Dry pet shampoo uniformly on a small area of your pet.  Rub it in with a clean dry brush, warm towel or your fingers in slow, circular movements. Then proceed to the next area.

Leave for 20 minutes.  Allow 50 minutes in the case of heavy odor.  It is possible to tread on the carpet during this time.

Then Brush your dog thoroughly with a natural bristle brush to remove powder with the dirt and dander is has collected.

Warning: Suitable for all pets.  Test a small area for reactions.  Use contents within a short time.  Contents sufficient for 1 medium sized dog.
