In Case You Were Wondering
Are the Shampoo Bars Natural?
You bet they are! We use a centuries old (like 18th Century kinda old) way of making our Zero Waste Dog Shampoo Bars which is the Cold Process. We use only the best sustainably sourced ingredients and premium fragrance oils all made in small batches which when combined take a month to cure (but they are completely worth it)
Is it good for itchy skin?
Because all of our butters and fats that make up our Dog Shampoo Bars are natural and chosen for all of their individual attributes, not only are they great for your dogs itchy skin but they moisturize while providing a deep down clean (be prepared for some seriously dirty bath water but an amazing smelling pup)
Are they hard to lather?
Not at all, we suggest you fully wet your dog then the bar. Rub the bar directly into the dog coat. We suggest using one of our massage brushes to fully penetrate the fur while massaging away dead skin cells (plus we are told this is most dogs favorite part). Fully Rinse and follow with our matching conditioner bar for a full doggy spa experience.
How do I use the dog conditioner bar?
After shampooing while your dogs coat is fully wet we suggest (for the smaller pups) you can lather the conditioner bar in your hands and distribute along your dogs fur or take the wet bar and rub it along the direction of hair growth. (Not much is needed at all, use sparingly) after distributing the conditioner follow by a gentle massage to penetrate the hairs and rinse fully.
Are the Paw Balms, Butters and Waxes Organic?
Absolutely 100% Organic! We only use the best of the best for our best friends.
The Paw/Nose Wax and Balm...Is it kinda green?
Yup! We don't use artificial colouring...kelp green is awesome, why change it?
Why don't the Balms, Butters and Waxes smell pretty?
We don't use fragrances because pretty smells are pretty bad for dogs (which also makes our products safe for cats #justsayin)
Why so many ingredients?
Because our side kicks aka bestest friends forever simply deserve the best don't they?
Is it tested on animals?
Never, we have plenty of human "guinea pigs" around here to test it out before our pack gets to try it out.
What about the dreaded parabens?
Ewe gross! If it isn't good for their paws and safe if they sneak the occasional lick, then it isn't in there.
What about the apparel?
Our apparel and gift items (mugs totes etc) are designed by us in Toronto but we use USA partner factories to produce items only when ordered to reduce waste. We do have certain item that will ship from Toronto and will be marked as such. A donation is made for every apparel and gift item to animal rescue and rehabilitation charities.
