awake organics dog shampoo

Awake Organics Natural Dog Shampoo is a well-reviewed biodegradable dog shampoo , made with organic coconut milk and colloidal oatmeal (relieves rashes and itching). To use, just brush fur then sprinkle a small amount of powder onto a soaked coat and massage to activate lather, using more water if needed. Use a gentle stream of water beginning at hindquarters, and avoid getting water in a dog’s ears, nose, mouth or eyes. Rinse well and towel-dry. Check for allergies before purchase, as some ingredients are packed elsewhere.

Experts suggest to use warm water around 37 °C. Pop a mat or tub in the bath/sink, to avoid wobbles (walk-in showers, paddling pools or outdoors may be easier for large  secured dogs).  It’s good to rinse paws after snowy walks, to remove rock salt which can burn inside at higher temperatures. EcoGrit recommends safer alternatives.

Never use human shampoos on pets (skin PH is different, unscented is better as essential oils can be toxic to pets, especially cats). For this reason, never use scents or candles near them either (air rooms after use, and avoid if pets sleep in bedrooms). 

Kind2 also offers a fragrance-free dog shampoo, which is PH-balanced for dogs.  Easier to use than juggling bottles of shampoo while holding a wriggling dog, this is soap-and-sulphate-free to create a gentle lather that’s easier to rinse out. It contains shea butter (not for latex allergies) to nourish and moisturise, kaolin and sodium cocoyl isethionate (a gentle, coconut-derived cleansing agent).
