Dilute Shampoo When Bathing Your Pet

When bathing your dog or cat, dilute the shampoo with water so it is a 1:1 ratio. Then pour the mixture in a clean spray bottle. Simply wet down your pet and then spritz the shampoo mixture where you want and lather.

You waste less shampoo and it makes it easier to really get down to the pets skin. Not to mention there is less shampoo to rinse off, so bathing is much faster.

Be sure to avoid the eyes and mouth from the spritz of shampoo.

Great idea! I always get too much somewhere and not enough elsewhere. I use baby shampoo so the eyes are not an issue, but I try to avoid them anyway. I can't wait to will try this next bath time.

I found that a sponge is great to use in their bath it also saves on shampoo and can be put on where you want it
