A Great Dog Soap Recipe – Frank’s K-9 Soap
Here is a Dog Soap Recipe Submitted By Frank
Just the other day, Frank who is one of the Soap Making Fun Newsletter readers, submitted this recipe for his K-9 soap.
He said that in the past 2 years, this soap has been one of his best sellers at craft shows.
With the combination of oils in the recipe, you know it’s going to have your dog smelling great! On top of that, those same oils will act as a repellent to mosquitoes and fleas!
Try it out and see what you think!
Thanks, Frank!
Please be aware that this recipe is ONLY FOR DOGS. This soap should NEVER be used on cats or rabbits!

Thank you soo much for the recipe~:)
You are welcome for the K9 doggie soap recipe.
Thank you for the recipe! May I ask which scale you use to get such precise weights?
Does Frank sell this as a bar or a bottle of shampoo?
I’m pretty sure he makes it in the form of shampoo bars.
Thank you Frank! I’ve been searching for a great doggie soap and this sound just what I’ve been looking for. God Bless and Merry Christmas! May not be right thing happy holidays is the politically correct but for me and mine its Merry Christmas.
