Natural Organic Dog Shampoo

Natural organic dog shampoo has multiple benefits. The two main ones related to your dog’s health and the environment.

Better For Your Dog
Your dog will enjoy not having skin reactions to harsh chemical based shampoos. If your dog is particularly prone to skin allergies and dry coat then organic shampoo suits them considerably better than any other shampoos. Sensitive skin requires gentle treatment rather than harsh chemicals.

Better For The Environment
Natural organic dog shampoo does not contain the harmful chemicals that get washed down the drain and into waterways.

Can I Use Organic Shampoo For Humans On My Dog?
No, dogs should only be bathed in dog shampoo. Dog’s do not have the same skin make up as us and as such have different requirements. Although human organic shampoo is gentler than chemical based shampoos, they are still not suitable for dogs.

Dogs should be washed no more than once per week. Veterinarians state that anymore than one wash per week will dry your dogs skin out and cause other problems and it prevents the skin creating natural oils required to stay healthy. If you are constantly washing these oils away then skin problems can result. One wash per month is considered fine for most dogs.

Organic shampoo for dogs is pH balanced, sulphate free and never contains artificial colors or fragrances as these are the ingredients that cause the majority of reactions in sensitive dogs. Check the label on shampoo before purchasing and study the ingredients carefully. All organic dog shampoos will clearly state that they are natural and/or organic.

Sulphate is present in almost all commercial dog shampoos, mainly because it is a foaming agent. However it also causes problems for many dogs in that it can strip the body of essential natural oils that are required for your dog’s healthy coat. Without sulphate your dogs coat will look shinier and healthier and he’ll also feel considerably better.

Shampoo with natural ingredients will generally contain a variety of herbal extracts, organic extracts and essential oils, formulated to provide the very best skin and coat care for your dog. Dogs should be washed in a sink or bath of warm water and, particularly on cool days, towel dried. If it is a warm day your dog will enjoy shaking and drying off in the sun.

Natural organic dog shampoo is the very best choice for your dog and you’ll also be doing your part for the environment but eliminating chemical waste.
