The Benefits of Oatmeal in Pet Shampoo

The Pet Spa at Soap.Club, a pet supply business based out in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, addresses why natural oatmeal is an essential ingredient to look for when considering a dog shampoo.

In the United States reportedly 90% of dog suffers from unbalanced PH and zinc deficiencies which are a major cause of skin irritation, itching, and scratching. Pets can develop hot spots, and often other serious skin problems. These issues can be controlled by ensuring that the coat and underlying skin of dogs and cats retains moisture. Studies show that regular use of natural ingredients such as oatmeal helps their coats to absorb natural oils.

Jack Widmer, pet spa manager at Soap.Club, says: "The addition of oatmeal to our natural hypoallergenic pet shampoo and conditioner promotes the healing of dry, damaged skin and hair for dogs and cats, as oatmeal helps the animal's skin retain natural, healthy oils." Their skin is soothed and their coats become healthier, shinier, and their fur stronger and thicker.”

Oatmeal has the ability to restore the PH balance of a dog’s skin, preventing bacterial and fungal infections. Not only does oatmeal help in reducing uncomfortable dry skin, it reduces the flaky dandruff that leaves its traces on clothing and furniture. Moreover, frequent use does not increase a pet’s symptoms.

“We realize that pet owners wonder about the best shampoo to use on their dogs and cats,” Widmer states. “We developed our natural oatmeal pet shampoo and conditioner with natural ingredients so there are no worries of allergic reactions or harmful ingredients that could hurt your beloved pets."
