Be a voice for your dog’s precious skin with this pH-balanced dog shampoo.

The relationship between us and our dogs is one built on cues. An unspoken understanding of body language. They know when we’re angry or happy or sad or upset. Conversely, we can read a wagging tail or perked up ears. We know the difference between barking and growling. We do our best to interpret these signs because we love our dogs and want them to be happy. Sometimes we have to be a voice for our dogs. I learned this first hand after my dog developed severe skin issues. Nothing truly improved the issue until my company formulated chemical-free shampoos that were pH balanced just for dogs.

When dogs scratch or lick their skin, we assume, often rightly so, that there’s a skin issue. Obviously, a bad smell means your dog needs a bath. Or, so I thought until I realized that the shampoos I was using were exacerbating the problem.

“It wasn’t until I learned that a dog’s skin is three times thinner than a human’s and far more sensitive that I understood how toxic chemicals can be to a dog.”

My dog’s skin is his largest organ, so anything I use on the skin or coat will be absorbed into the body. It wasn’t until I learned that a dog’s skin is three times thinner than a human’s and far more sensitive that I understood how toxic chemicals can be to a dog. Dogs are very sensitive to chemicals like those found in most dog shampoos. Here I was lathering up my sweet dog, thinking I was doing the best thing for him.

In fact, I was just making things worse. After berating myself, I realized that it’s nearly impossible for the average consumer to fully understand the ingredients in dog shampoos. The pet care industry is poorly regulated and manufacturers are not required to qualify ingredients like a “proprietary blend.” That’s not an ingredient, but it appears more often than you’d think. Labels are comprised of tricky definitions making it really hard to know what’s safe and what isn’t. For example, the same ingredient can be classified as a mild skin irritant or a cancer causing chemical. We trust the company to do their due diligence and create formulas that are dog-safe.

Chances are, the company isn’t buying coconut oil and synthesizing it to create sodium lauryl sulfate. They’re purchasing the sodium lauryl sulfate and mixing it with their own chemical formulation, which may have contaminants in it. It’s a slippery slope.

“Dogs need shampoo that’s pH balanced just for their precious skin.”

The more you understand about your dog’s delicate skin, the easier it is to make well-informed choices. The acid mantle or relative pH of your dog is a protective layer that covers the skin.A human’s relative pH is much different than that of a dog. So, you don’t want to bathe your dog in your shampoo. It will dry out their skin, which can present as dry, flaky, irritated skin. Dogs need shampoos that are pH balanced just for their precious skin. Even all-natural and organic ingredients are not necessarily safe for your dog if they aren’t pH-balanced. So, I created shampoos that clearly state they are formulated for a dog’s pH balance. You can be a voice for your dog by saying ‘no’ to shampoo ingredients that are toxic for dogs.

Say ‘yes’ to Moosh and Heel and know it is pH balanced just for dogs.
