Make Your Own Herbal Grooming Products
Why make your own? Well, it allows you to control the ingredients that you use. Many commercial grooming products contain chemicals and artificial fragrances that may be harsh on your dog's skin and coat. As well as that, you can make a product that is unique for your dog's needs, for example, a shampoo formulated to address your dog's skin and coat conditions . Homemade products tend to be less expensive and they are also eco-friendly as you can reuse the containers. Plus, It's GREAT fun!!
