In my typical fashion, I was picky about what we would bathe Poca with. Our previous dog, Leia, had skin issues - she was itchy and allergic to something that we just couldn't get under control. She was on steroids for most of her life. With Poca being so new and soft and having such a pretty coat, I was scared to ruin it or do anything to make her itchy!
After some researching, I found Earthbath. I am very happy with the ingredients (as well as what I don't see in the ingredient list!). Reading through their FAQ convinced me to give it a try. In the past we'd used some Dr Bronners soap, or an all natural organic shampoo on our dog. I learned that soap can be very drying to a pet's skin. Because they have fur protecting it, their skin is actually more sensitive than a baby's. Knowing this, we decided that Earthbath would be the best thing for Poca.
She didn't love her bath, but she was so cute and snuggly afterwards.
We've not bathed Poca much yet, as labs don't need frequent baths. However, when we used Earthbath we really liked it. In fact, Ross heard me say that it was for sensitive skin and he decided to try it out as shampoo. He's been using it for several weeks now and likes it. He said that it made his hair feel less dried out because its not soap based. I guess I'll have to buy some more for Poca since Ross stole her bottle!
Earthbath makes a whole line of grooming things - shampoo, wipes, even a spritz/ coat conditioner. There are a big variety of scents, all of which sound great! I'm happy we've found such a good choice for Poca. (and I guess Ross is too...) The vet even commented last time we were there about how she has such a gorgeous coat of fur. He said that we must be feeding her great food, but I'm sure the shampoo didn't hurt things either. ;)
Discosure: Earthbath sent us some samples to try out. I purchased our first bottle of the shampoo on my own. Opinions are my own.
