  • 5 Reasons to Use Bar Shampoo on Your Dog Instead of Liquid Shampoo

    When it comes to grooming our furry friends, choosing the right shampoo can make all the difference. While traditional liquid shampoos have been the norm for decades, a new alternative is making waves in the pet grooming industry: bar shampoo.

    While it may seem odd to use a bar soap on a dog, there are actually many benefits to this method of bathing. In this blog post, we’ll explore why bar shampoo is a better option for your dog than liquid shampoo.

    1. Environmental Friendliness

    One of the biggest advantages of using a bar shampoo for your dog is the environmental impact. Traditional liquid shampoos come in plastic bottles that are often not recyclable, leading to a huge amount of plastic waste. In contrast, bar shampoos, like ours, are packaged in paper or cardboard, which can be easily recycled or composted.

    1. Longevity

    Another advantage of bar shampoo is that it lasts longer than liquid shampoo. When you use liquid shampoo it feels like you need to put a ton on them because it is not as easy to move it around the dog’s body. Since you don’t need to use as much product to get a good lather, a single bar can last much longer than a bottle of liquid shampoo. This means that you’ll save money in the long run and won’t need to buy shampoo as frequently.

    1. Ease of Use

    While it may seem like using a bar shampoo would be more difficult than a liquid, it’s actually quite easy. Simply wet your dog’s fur, rub the bar of soap onto their coat, and lather as usual. Since the bar is easier to grip than a slippery bottle, it can actually be easier to use and get an even distribution of soap when you’re trying to hold onto a wriggling dog.

    1. Natural Ingredients

    Our Canine Goat Milk Soap is made with all-natural ingredients, which can be beneficial for your pet’s health. Traditional liquid shampoos often contain harsh chemicals that can strip your dog’s coat of its natural oils and cause dryness or irritation.

    1. Portability

    If you’re someone who likes to take their dog on the go, bar shampoo is a great option. Since it doesn’t come in a bulky bottle, it’s much easier to pack in your bag or take with you on camping trips or hikes. It also won’t leak out into your bag!

    There are many reasons why bar shampoo is a better option for your dog than liquid shampoo. From environmental friendliness to natural ingredients and ease of use, bar shampoo is a great choice for anyone looking to give their furry friend a good bath.

  • Canine Shampoo Testimonial – Goat Milk Soap

    We absolutely love hearing from customers! Over the weekend we received a message from Sandy about her experience with our Canine Shampoo Goat Milk Soap:

    “We purchased a bar of your Canine Shampoo when we attended the Harvest festival at Monticello for our Jack Russell/Beagle rescue dog. Barkley had his first bath with it today.  All I can say is WOW!

    He smells great and his coat is so soft.  He appears to be shedding less and is not scratching his coat. His white coat is so bright.He loved being rubbed down with bar and we loved how easily it rinsed off.

    Thanks again for recommending it.  It is definitely Barkley approved.”

  • Using our Goat Milk Soap Canine Shampoo

    People are always asking us how our Canine Shampoo works. It’s in bar form, like all of our soaps, and most people are used to working with liquid dog shampoo. Does it lather well? How is it applied? Does it rinse clean? Does it work on long haired dogs? So I wanted to do this post to show it in action…

    Last week our two dogs, Frankie and Annabelle, got out and ran away. They were gone for two days and it was awful. When we finally got them home we noticed that they were completely covered in ticks. I spent time picking the ticks off, but when it came to Frankie getting the ticks out of his hair was nearly impossible. I removed any I could on his stomach, but we were going to have to find an alternative for the rest of his body… So we used our Goat Milk Soap Canine Shampoo on him. For the rest of the evening ticks were practically falling off of him…

    Our Canine Shampoo lathers great, as you can see in the pictures below, and it rinses very easily and clean. It’s applied by rubbing the bar directly on the dog. This avoids waste. With those liquid soaps, at least in our experience, you end up using half the bottle in one wash. You pour the soap on their back and have to pull it all over their bodies. You end up using a lot more than you need. With our soap we have only used one bar on our dogs since we debuted the soap last summer. That would make for four or so washes with two dogs and the bar is still not gone. It leaves Frankie’s hair, who has a long wire hair, soft and clean!

  • Introducing Canine Shampoo

    It’s the first of the month! Which means we are debuting a new soap…. We are thrilled to introduce our new Canine Shampoo!

    Dog Shampoo from The Freckled Farm Soap Company

    A great deal of thought and research went into our canine shampoo and we believe that we have come up with something very special. The star ingredients of this soap are tea tree, lavender, rosemary, and ground oatmeal. The tea tree is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and is also said to relieve pain and itching. Lavender has always been known as a healer, and can calm a hyper, anxious dog. Like tea tree, lavender is also anti-itch. The rosemary has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Tea tree, lavender and rosemary are all said to prevent and treat fleas and finally the oatmeal calms and soothes your dog’s skin. So many benefits jammed into one bar of soap!

    This soap has a soft, warm, earthy scent… and guess what?! It’s not just for dogs, you can use it too!

    Our Canine Shampoo can now be purchased through our website!
