I'd like a natural recipe containing tea tree oil to make dog shampoo?

I generally wash my dog every couple of months but Id like to give him a quick wash down with some tea tree solution as well. Home made if possible. Any recipes out there?I'd like a natural recipe containing tea tree oil to make dog shampoo?
Honestly this is a really bad idea. While you will find conflicting information, tea tree oil is known to be toxic to pets. It's been acknowledged in studies to be toxic to all animals but especially toxic to small pets like dogs and cats. That's because their tiny bodies cannot process the tea tree oil as a person could if they had to. It's not worth taking the chance, and I wouldn't even try it.I'd like a natural recipe containing tea tree oil to make dog shampoo?
Hmm let me think NO! let the proffecinals do it Uhh you know what i mean go to nextdaypets.com and click stuff to buy and it will show you loads of Proffecinal shampoo's
tee tree oil is not good for there coat or skin and they can break out in hives or rashes.. plus its very drying .. try something else and do better research on your choices

* .125 oz lemongrass eo


* .125 oz tea tree oil


* .125 oz cedarwood eo





Directions





I make this in my 6 qt crockpot. Add lye to water %26amp; set safely aside. Heat coconut, palm, olive, canola %26amp; castor oils till completely melted. Add lye water %26amp; stir till light trace. Put the lid on the crockpot.





I stir every ten minutes till vaseline stage, keeping an eye out for volcanos in between. After the cook, dump the soap in a ss bowl. Stir every 5 minutes to assist in a quick cool down.





Make sure to keep the sides of the bowl scraped clean. When my soap has cooled down to approximately 160 degrees (I never check!), add the remaining ingredients, stirring very well. Glop the soap into your log mold %26amp; press the air bubbles out for a uniform soap.
