Dr. Bronner's Almond Bar Soap - 5oz

A: While we don’t have a specialty line of products for pets, our soaps do work well for washing dogs. We have heard from others that they work well on many other kinds of animals too. To wash a dog, first wet the fur well. Next, add enough soap to produce lather and massage it into the fur, all the way to the skin. The amount depends on the dog’s size, as well as the length, thickness, and texture of its fur. In addition, please be sure to keep the soap out of the dog’s eyes as we do not make tear free products. Finally, rinse well, making sure all the soap has been rinsed off. Peppermint is our most popular soap for dogs, but we recommend baby unscented for puppies. For possible concerns about essential oils, please note that a high concentration of some essential oils can be toxic to some pets, (some pets are more sensitive than others). Products containing tea tree oil for example at concentrations less than 1–2% are generally considered nontoxic if used according to label directions. The essential oils in our Castile Soaps fall within this range. When used according to our recommendations, the soap will be diluted even further and will pose no threat to your pet. However, we understand that health is very important, so we recommend you consult with your local veterinarian should you have any concerns. Nonetheless, if you are uncomfortable using a product with essential oils on your pet, consider our Baby Unscented Castile Soap variety.
