Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Hi all, I would like to make some CP dog soap with essential oils but cant find alot of information on which essential oils would be good to use for dogs... Since they will lick after being bathed I know I need something that is going to be non-toxic.. I was thinking of perhaps tea tree and peppermint, but not sure? I also wanted to incorporate emu oil and perhaps ground oatmeal into my base oils... I currently use olive, lard, palm kernel, and cocoa butter in my soaps for people, would of any of these be detrimental for dogs? Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Tea tree oil is wonderful for pets, so is peppermint (even though my dogs will eat peppermints for treats, so I stay away from it for them) Lavender is also nice and soothing. Don't see anything on your list that wouldn't be nice for them. Go for it. Let us know how it turns out.
