Be A Good Best Friend!
You want the best for your pets, and are willing to do just about anything to make them clean and happy. This can lead you to over-the-counter shampoos claiming to wash and protect them. But here’s the unfortunate truth: many over-the-counter pet shampoos contain long ingredient labels and artificial fragrances that can seriously harm your best friends.
In fact, many over-the-counter pet shampoos are dangerous because they are derived from chemicals and synthetics. And these dangerous ingredients are not just found in pet shampoos. You can also find them in such things as kitty litters, detergents, and window cleaners, definitely not things you want compared to your wash. (1)
This is scary, but we do have some good news: there IS an ALL-NATURAL WAY to clean your pets that is organic, hypoallergenic, and made with therapeutic grade essential oils. And best of all, this ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO doesn’t contain artificial fragrances or perfumes that can harm them!
In this blog we talk about the dangers of artificial fragrances for pets, what you can do about it, and how you can clean your pets the ALL-NATURAL and ORGANIC WAY today!
SMELL THE TRUTH
Want to clean your pet the ALL-NATURAL way?
Check out our ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO today!
Before we get started on what's harming your pet, let’s talk about why this is such a serious problem. And we’ll start by talking about dogs. Well, the first thing to know is that dogs are actually more sensitive to both skincare products and smells than us. These are connected, as many fragrances can cause dermatitis.
These unwanted fragrances can lead to some serious problems for your dog, including the loss of their hair and itchiness, which can then compound to make their already bad problems worse. Fragrances can also cause your dog’s skin to become inflamed, and for them to suffer with flakiness. (2)
Now remember: your pet’s skin is important. Though it seems obvious, the skin of your pet happens to be its largest organ, while being responsible for protecting it from its sometimes dangerous environment. To make things even scarier, the products you use on your pet can absorb into their skin super fast, making the ingredients inside them that much more important. (3)
QUICK TIP: The ingredients on over-the-counter shampoo labels can be hard to read, making it difficult to know what you’re really applying to your pet’s skin. Put your mind at ease with the ALL-NATURAL INGREDIENTS in GARNER’S GARDEN ALL-NATURAL ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO today! (4)
We mentioned before that your dog is influenced by outside factors more easily than you, but it might surprise you to know that a dog’s sense of smell is fifty times better than yours. Now this can cause dogs to smell some pretty radical scents, and for their hormones to be affected. (5)

Some over-the-counter dog shampoos contain what are called phthalates, which can upset your dog’s endocrine system. This is a serious problem, as some of these ingredients, which can include such things as ethyl acetate and benzaldehyde, can lead to breathing problems, nervous system issues, and sometimes even cancer. (5)
Making matters even foggier is that some over-the-counter pet shampoos contain harmful ingredients purchased from other places, leading to sometimes dangerous additions to their products they may not even know about. This can lead to chemicals being added to your dog’s shampoo that can seriously hurt them. (6)

HOW IT’S MADE
As mentioned before, your pet is really, really sensitive. There are some scents that may be alright for you, or possibly even your child, that can be super dangerous to your pet. In fact, your pet is so sensitive that even some candles can cause problems in your pet’s airways and deliver them great stress.
You also need to be the judge of your pet’s scent, as pets don’t all have the same interests. In fact, there isn’t just one smell that all dogs or cats like. Even air fresheners can cause potential airflow problems with your pet, while not actually providing the freshening feeling to the air you want. (7)

The ingredients in your pet’s shampoo matter, but so does the way it’s made. Many products are priced or marketed in certain ways to appeal to consumers, when in reality they can harm your pet.

Many over-the-counter shampoos with artificial fragrances contain the aforementioned phthalates that can cling to other ingredients, making the finished product. What’s even crazier is that the artificial fragrance in your pet’s shampoo can contain upwards of thousands of smaller ingredients that can cause issues in the development of your pet.
Just as important as it is to watch out for artificial fragrances, you need to watch out for artificial colors. These can also be affected by other dangerous chemicals and ingredients in skincare products, sometimes having the sole purpose of just making products look nicer. (10)
But you don’t need to worry about any of this once you realize there IS a way you can effectively clean your pet the way they should be cleaned, meaning proper cleaning of skin, fur, allergens, debris, and dirt. This can also help address the potential problems dogs can have related to bugs and ticks. (11)
