Pour ¾ cup baking soda into a bowl. Add ¼ cup arrowroot powedr, 1 tbsp. ground lavender and 15 to 20 drops of your favorite essential oil. Good choices for essential oil are eucalyptus, tea tree, cedarwood or lavender; however, you can use any scent that smells good to you.

Stir up the ingredients well with a spoon. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes before applying it to your dog.

Work the mixture into your dog’s coat, avoiding the face and mouth area. Leave the mixture on without rinsing.
