Does anyone know a homemade DRY dog shampoo. By dry I mean one that does not need to be washed out. Thank you!

I too have used baby powder on my dog. Just sprinkle it on and brush it out. It leaves him smelling nice and clean and is way cheaper than the stuff you buy at the store, as well I found the smell lasted longer and was nicer than the store bought kind anyways. Good luck!

All these are great, but I have a beagle and these are all drying ingredients. What can I use without water (which also dries), to keep the oils in her fur? I've thought of essential oils, but they just make her smell good not clean.

I live in AZ and have found a damp micro-fiber cloth works wonders for removing dust. Easily rinsed and reused, this also helps with doggie odor.

This is pretty late, however, I just read about rubbing cornstarch into matted dog fur to loosen the mat. It really works. My little Shi-tsu can really get thick and this helps immensely.

We live in NM. Dry and dusty. My golden loves to roll in the dirt. Can anyone give me a suggestion on what to use to wipe him off before he comes in the house?

Baby powder works well for that. Sprinkle on and brush through fur, it too absorbs odor and oil. This is what I use on my cats and dog.

i've used baking soda in between baths, just sprinkle on and brush in really well. absorbs oil and odor, and if the dog licks it won't harm him. i've also found that when my dogs don't smell so good, if i just give them a good brushing it helps immensely. they often don't need a bath after i've done this. i believe it's the loose dead hair that traps the dander which actually smells.

I've heard that you can use cornstarch (for humans too).
