“Dog Soap” from Natural Ao

Dog Soap is made using the “cold process method,” which slowly matures the ingredients without adding heat, relying solely on the heat generated by the reaction. It is made from natural raw materials and quickly breaks down without penetrating or remaining in the shampoo. As a result, it can reduce the stress on delicate dog’s skin. Additionally, even if the dog accidentally ingests it, it is safe because it is broken down into harmless fatty acids and salts by stomach acid.
