Tip

Brush your dog's hair often to keep the tangles under control.

Long-haired dogs often get tangles in their hair.

Dogs with long hair often get tangles even with regular brushing, but having a hair detangler helps them brush out the hair without having to cut any of it off. A natural hair detangler made at home with some inexpensive, easy-to-find ingredients helps during brushing time to smooth out the hair and make it soft. A natural hair detangler, made with natural ingredients, is safe to use on pet and human hair.

Step 1

Pour the distilled water into the spray bottle.

Step 2

Add the aloe vera gel, glycerin, essential oil and grapefruit seed extract to the bottle of distilled water.

Step 3

Place the lid on the spray bottle and tighten.

Step 4

Shake the spray bottle to mix all of the ingredients.

Step 5

Spray some of the hair detangler onto your dog's hair and brush to remove tangles.
