5 Benefits of Plastic-Free Shampoo Bars for Dogs

Dogs have become more of a family member than ever before and are consequently receiving care much like we humans do for ourselves. Proper care for the skin and coat of dogs is a prime example. Alongside traditional shampoo bottles, a new trend is emerging: shampoo bars for dogs. Below, we explain what shampoo bars are and outline the advantages for you.

What Are Shampoo Bars?

Shampoo bars are solid forms of shampoo that are growing in popularity. Typically, most shampoos are liquid and come mainly in plastic bottles. A shampoo bar is usually made from natural vegetable oils, plants, and other essential oils. As shampoo bars don't contain liquids, they are more concentrated, and therefore, they don't require preservatives to be added, allowing them to be sold in plastic-free form. So, a shampoo bar fits perfectly into a low-waste lifestyle, is kinder to the wallet, and, not to forget, the environment.

The Benefits of a Shampoo Bar

Washing your dog's coat without using a plastic bottle? No problem! Plastic-free shampoo bars don't contain microplastics, and moreover, the shampoo bars are packaged in cardboard boxes rather than plastic. A completely plastic-free product!
