If you do a search there are several posts regarding this subject. It comes up quite frequently. I can't help as my vet does not recommend using soap on dogs. The PH is too high for their skin. Also, it's not very polite to just ask for someone to give you their recipes. Please read the forum rules if you haven't done so already.
Soap isn't recommended for dog fur - or for people hair. TBH, we worry too much about our dogs being clean. Unless your dog has some kind of skin condition, they don't need regular baths. 2-3 times a year is plenty.
Thanks for that, I have given my recipes freely a couple of times an no one has to offer any to me of course. But I have been on the receiving end of much impoliteness on here myself and I have had enough now.
Why would you make soap out of a poor dog?!?
And yet, I see so many posts with people asking for recipes and then people give them recipes without calling them on it. It's a pretty regular thing here. I think it's perfectly reasonable, based on the activity I've witnessed, to think asking for recipes is accepted practice here.
Me! Me! Me! Please feel free to contact me off list. I don't mind people asking for recipes. I'm happy to share when I can. When I first started soaping, there were many knowledgeable and generous soapers who helped me get to where I am. Sharing what I know by paying it forward is my way of showing gratitude for all they did for me waaaaaaay back then.Good morning, anyone have any dog soap recipes please? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for posting that Artemis. Sadly, I don't ask for help formulating a recipe when I need it because of "the rule about asking for recipes" -- sheesh! How else are we supposed to learn and grow if we don't share what we know? Plus, if anyone is offended by the question, they can simply ignore it. That rule serves no useful purpose, to my mind at least.

Actually, SMF doesn't have an official rule against asking for recipes, so do feel free ask away........
However, in spite of there not being any official rule against it, there does exist an undeniable, longstanding, underlying, general culture of what many folks on SMF consider to be either improper or acceptable etiquette. Such unwritten/unspoken 'cultural etiquette' things tend to be rather subjective and can be quite difficult for newcomers to decipher off the bat unless they happen to innocently stick their proverbial foot in it, so to speak........ so in order to help newcomers navigate around these volatile 'land mines', the modmin team put together this helpful SMF Culture/Tone Sticky a couple of years ago that lists what we've found over time to be recurrent "hot button/post-at-your-own-risk" type of issues (located in the Announcements/Rules section of the forum). Looks like we should add this particular issue at hand to it.
