How to Make Deodorising Dog Wash

Makes 1 treatment

When your dog rolls in something foul-smelling – as they often do – confine it outdoors and run to the bathroom supply cabinet for help.

Ingredients for deodorising dog wash

1 large tube traditional formula white toothpaste (coloured or gel pastes can discolour fur)
dog shampoo
1⁄4 cup (60 ml) cider vinegar

Preparation method for deodorising dog wash

1. Work the toothpaste into the dog’s fur from head to tail, nose to toe. Allow the toothpaste to air-dry for 20 minutes.

2. Wet the dog and apply dog shampoo, working up a full lather.

3. In a large bucket, combine the vinegar with 4 litres of warm water. Rinse the dog with this solution (double it for a big dog) and dry as usual.

4. Repeat treatment as needed.
