Fragranced or Fragrance-Free – we offer both. Our pets are ultra sensitive when it comes to fragrances! We all know that a shampoo that sounds and smells amazing, can often contain many artificial fragrances, too many, too much along with other irritating ingredients. A dog’s skin is so sensitive, therefore it’s important to find the right product that suits them and makes them happy without the itch! Hypoallergenic shampoos can either be with or without a scent, or they use natural, mild scents like lavender or chamomile. We always recommend going with unscented if your dog has a history of allergies. A light natural scent is okay, but anything too strong might be a red flag.

It’s no lie, we all like to smell nice, but scents and certain fragranced skin products can cause allergic reactions when used on or even near our pets! Sensitivity in pets can lead to signs of dermatitis – a skin allergy that causes inflammation, itching, redness, flaking and even hair loss. Fragrances are definitely a major irritant. However, not all fragrances are harmful. Safe fragrance solutions are available for pets and we use fragrances in low concentrations which are IFRA certified. We prefer to use safer scents, and we only use just enough, while others may use more than is necessary!
Also, whilst essential oils are promoted as safe and natural and used as alternative medicine and aromatherapy treatment, they are not safe for our pets, they are the worst allergens, and many are incredibly toxic to our pets! Take Tea Tree Oil for example, this is really not safe for our dogs and cats, it’s toxic and life threatening! Whilst some pet products contain this, it is only a very small amount. Always use in accordance with the provided directions. Essential / natural oils are really not for dogs and cats! Another misleading fact, Tea Tree Oil does not kill fleas as some products like to claim. Whilst these oils are considered organic, natural, and safe as topical treatments for humans, many are harmful. Several drops will poison a dog! Do not put pure tea tree oil, or any essential oil, directly on your dog or cat’s skin! Also, pets should never be in the same room as an essential oil diffuser – inhalation is equally unsafe for them. Always take your pet to the vet immediately if they have come into contact with a toxic substance! Symptoms can include: Weakness, Drooling, Skin irritation or chemical burns, Ataxia (wobbly and unsteady on their legs) or even the inability to walk, Tremors, Hypothermia (low body temperature), Collapse, Mouth ulcers, Pneumonia (from inhalation), Seizures, Increased liver enzymes, Death. Make sure you avoid the following essential oils, both in topical pet care products and around your home: – Anise, Cinnamon, Citrus, Clove, Eucalyptus, Garlic, Juniper, Pennyroyal, Peppermint, Pine, Sweet Birch, Tea tree, Thyme, Yarrow and Ylang Ylang.
Common essential oils containing phenols include cinnamon, clove, oregano, peppermint, thyme among others. When using essential oils with phenols, it is important to follow safety precautions and consult with a healthcare / vet professional to avoid potential risks or side effects.
Remember, as Spring gets going, your pets and us will encounter more seasonal allergens and pests in our busy daily lives. Regularly check your pets for fleas, mites and ticks! Take control, protect and prevent where you can.
