Equipment

  • Shower
  • Removable Shower Head
  • Oil Diffuser
  • Towels
  • Gloves

Materials

  • 4 cups Warm Water
  • 1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/3 cup Castile Soap
  • 2 mg's CBD Oil SMALL PETS
  • 3-5 mg's CBD Oil LARGER PETS

Diffusing Instructions

  • 10 drops lavender oil in your diffuser 15 minutes before starting!

Instructions

  • Mix your ingredients together in a pitcher and if your cat is small, use less CBD oil. If your cat is larger like ours is, use just a bit more as outlined in the instructions.
  • Get those gloves on!
  • With TWO people (if possible) hold your kitty gently in the bathtub. Lay an old towel underneath of him or her so it's more comfy and less slippery.
  • Detaching the showerhead, make sure the water temperature is set to warm. Kitty is already angry, cold water does not help!
  • Have your helper slowly pour the shampoo starting at the tail and legs.
  • Move up toward the middle and stomach area, massaging very gently.
  • Rinse off as much of the shampoo as you can, often.
  • Once you get to kitty's head, just use a very small amount and gently rub in cheeks, top of head, neck. Do not go close to the eyes, it will sting and your cat will bolt.
  • Rinse off your cats entire body and then just use a little water and wash AWAY from the eyes, toward the tail.

Diffusing Instructions

  • Believe it or not, diffusing lavender oil in my diffuser 15 minutes prior to Sage's bath WORKED! He began sniffing, and didn't seem to be as bothered with the sound of the shower.
  • Every cat varies - but try it and see if it works!
