Hi y’all.

Henley Pretzel is excited to share a new product with you.

Tooth!

A few weeks ago we received a bottle of shampoo from the folks at 4-Legger. Their signature product is their Aloe and Lemongrass Organic Pet Shampoo (yes, you can use it on all pets!) but they also have two beautiful stoneware dog bowls.

4-Legger Dog Shampoo has a unique creation story.

On the day that one of 4-Legger’s owners was diagnosed with cancer, one of our beloved dogs lost his battle with cancer. We have come a long way since that day. Cancer is in remission and we have worked to remove products from our lives (and the lives of our pets) that may cause health issues (from skin sensitivities to accumulated toxins, and worse).

We are health conscious, environmentally minded, and focused on bringing to the market products that you can trust. We urge you to read ingredient labels and to do research on products. The pet industry currently has no regulations for labeling and listing ingredients, making it difficult for the consumer to make educated choices. We love our 4-Leggers. They are not just pets, they are part of our family.

I love any product that tells me why it has the ingredients it has. 4-Legger has some wonderful ones like lemongrass coconut oil, and rosemary.

Henley Pretzel gave 4-Legger a go last weekend. He doesn’t much care for baths but was a good sport. 🙂

4-Legger Dog Shampoo smells divine. I love a good lemongrass candle and this reminded me of ones I’ve smelled in the past. A little went a long way (Henley is pretty tiny, after all) and it sudsed up very well as you can see in the photo above. It rinsed out with ease.

Once Henley was done with his bath he got some stank back. 😉

Days after Henley’s bath I got reports that he smelled great and that his hair was soft and smooth. I call that a shampooing win!

If you’re in the market for a new shampoo for your dog or other pet, give 4-Legger a try!

Thanks to the team at 4-Legger for sending us a sample.

Happy tails…

Back in September I blogged about an all natural dry dog shampoo called Fresh & Fluffy.

Check out my original post here.

I mentioned in my first post about this awesome little product that I didn’t love the peppermint scent.

Well, I don’t have to worry about that anymore because Fresh & Fluffy recently sent me a container of their lavender scented dry shampoo!

It smells great! In fact, Teton just had a romp at the beach and I used it on his belly and legs and all the sand and dirt brushed right out. Now he smells freshly bathed without all the hassle of a “real” bath.

If you remember from my last post, using Fresh & Fluffy is very simple.

Just like the peppermint shampoo, the new lavender scent has only a handful of ingredients.

If you find yourself needing to bathe your dog often or just want something to freshen up their coat a few times a month, I highly recommend Fresh & Fluffy. A little of the dry shampoo goes a long way so it’s a great value at $16.99.

Thanks to the folks at Fresh & Fluffy for sending us this product to test!

Happy tails…

I’m a little late, but Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a wonderfully relaxing day and that you are still on a relaxation train as you’re reading this. I’m thankful for each and every one of my readers at Her Dog Blog. Thank you!

Today’s product review is on a new product from a company called Natural Paws.

EARoma thEARapy is an organic sprayable ear cleaner that aids in the removal of dirt and debris in your dog’s ears. It also boasts anti-inflammatory properties and…get this…it naturally aids in the determent of insects.

I jumped at the chance to give EARoma thEARapy a try when I heard about it because Teton often gets dirt and grime in his ears after hiking, playing at the beach, or just spending a few hours at the dog park. Teton has erect ears, which I’ve heard actually stay cleaner than dogs with longer, floppy ears (like Basset Hounds, for example), but he still gets his fair share of dirt in them from time to time.

Here’s the thing about Teton’s ears. I can’t really tell if they’re dirty most of the time.

See? I mean, even his ears are covered in hair!

Regardless, I clean his ears a minimum of once a month when he gets bathed and more than that if we go to the dog park, to the beach, or on a hike. It’s not until I clean them that I realize how dirty they really can be!

Prior to trying Natural Paws’ EARoma thEARapy, I used a generic Petco-brand ear cleaner.

The ear cleaner that I used was the kind that you squeeze into your dogs ear and then wipe out with a cotton ball or sanitary wipe. Teton hated it. I don’t blame him. It seems like it would be pretty much the worst day ever if someone poured a bunch of liquid into your ear and expected you to sit there patiently while they cleaned it out. I don’t know if dogs can physically close their ears but we got to a point where Teton tried his darnedest to do just that when I took the bottle of ear cleaner out.

EARoma thEARapy is easy to use and fairly easy on your dog (even if he/she is sensitive like Teton). You can either spray it into your dog’s ear(s), which was my preferred method, or you can dribble it in as you would with the type of cleaner that I mention above. Once you’ve spritzed the ear a few times, close your dog’s ear and give them a good ‘ol ear massage to get the organic blend of witch hazel, aloe vera, tea tree, and eucalyptus movin’ and groovin’ (and cleaning). 🙂

After a few seconds of massaging, wipe your dog’s ear(s) out with a cotton ball or sanitary wipe.

Hooray for clean ears!

If you don’t clean your dog’s ears on a regular basis, I recommend starting and sticking to a once-a-month schedule. Supplement additional cleanings if you have an active dog or one that seems prone to ear infections or consistently has dirty ears.

You know what they say…cleanliness is next to Godliness! Natural Paws sure embraces that idea. Check out their line of natural cleaning products as well as their recent YouTube video.

Thanks to Natural Paws for letting us try EARoma thEARapy cleaner in exchange for this review.

Happy tails…
