The Pet Shampoo Story

A rich, unscented bar filled with soothing honey & super-fatted with hemp oil (both sourced locally in Nova Scotia) to care for your pet's skin & coat.

This scent-free pet shampoo lathers up really well, then rinses out quickly to leave their pets squeaky clean with no residue to irritate later.

It’s a gentle, yet effective shampoo that has been used with great results on a wide range of pets including dogs & cats, horses & even a one-winged crow!

25% of Every Bar is Salt Water

All year round we go to Port Hillford beach on the pristine Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia to collect sea water in five-gallon buckets. We've learned that crocs are the best thing to wear, as rubber boots simply fill up with water 😊 Once filtred through fine fabric, it makes up 25% of every bar!

Why? Salt water makes a harder bar so it lasts longer, salt water is soothing to skin, & most especially it's kind of romantic to use something that connects us to our ancestors who emigrated from the old country 10 generations ago.

Ingredients

Sea water, vegetable shortening (soybean oil, palm oil [sustainably harvested - Info on FAQ page]), coconut oil, olive oil, sodium hydroxide (see note below), Nova Scotia hemp oil & honey.

Soap Making Note: Sodium hydroxide (commonly referred to as 'lye') is necessary to cause the chemical reaction that makes oil & water become soap. Once the soap is soap, the lye is gone.😊 Please visit our FAQ page for more info about the saponification process.

Pack Options

Full bar: appx 100 grams* (cured)

Mini bar: appx 20 grams* (cured)

* While curing water evaporates & weight decreases, though shape remains the same. Fully cured bars are harder, so last longer, provided they dry between uses.

Packaging Info

Full bar & mini bar: Recyclable, compostable, zero-waste, plastic-free box

How to Use Pet Shampoo

Rub bar on wet area to create a rich lather
Shampoo with a gentle massaging action
Rinse thoroughly with clear water

Pet shampoo tip: The shampoo will rinse out squeaky clean, which may tangle longer strands of hair or fur. You may wish to comb out the tangles while your pet is still in the tub, as running water can help untangle the strands.
