I would like to make a dog shampoo bar for my four dogs. I have read a lot of posts on the subject and it seems it can be done with both CP and M&P soaps.
Is there an advantage over using one method or the other? I was thinking that M&P probably has a longer shelf life than CP. The dogs don't get bathed that often, so if a soap lasts for a year or more I worry that the CP soap would eventually go bad?
It looks like I could use my goats milk base for the dog shampoo bar, or it seems like most CP recipes are fine for dogs? Would the M&P be more mild on their skin?
And it looks like Lavender, Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, and Lemongrass are all safe for dogs. At a percentage of 2% or less total? and yes I know not to use them on cats (we don't have cats).
