Hi, I have recently started making soap and made a recipe for a dog shampoo. When it is slightly more cured, I am going to test the pH to make sure it is right for dogs but until then, I was wondering about the dosage of essential oils.

I've made a lavender scented loaf, where I steeped dried lavender buds overnight and used the water. I also added 10 ml of lavender essential oil, which came to about 8 g (with 500 g oils so 1.6%). Does this seem ok and safe for dogs? The lavender water would also contain some essential oils as the buds obviously give off the same properties.

I will be making a non-scented loaf too, but want to know whether to use the lavender one on my/other people's dogs or whether to use it as human soap :) Thanks for any help.
