A new study found that women sleeping with dogs have a more restful night compared to those with cats or human partners. 🐶

Gathered from nearly 1,000 US women, it was found that dogs in bed were less disruptive and imparted a heightened sense of comfort and security. 🐾

September is Australian Organic Awareness Month. 😻

Why organic? Because choosing organic products means zero toxic chemicals and pesticides. If you have a dog that has allergies or highly reactive skin, it's really impawtent to keep their exposure to chemicals as low as possible. Ongoing exposure through ingestion, topical products and chemicals used in their environment (household cleaning and garden products such as pesticides and lawn care products) can lead to disease and liver issues.

Our shampoo bars and balms contain 99% organic ingredients, and we are working to increase the organic ingredients in our masks and soaks as well. But sourcing organic for specific ingredients can often be difficult and sometimes impossible.

We use both certified organic and organically grown local ingredients when they are available. Organic certification is expensive and out of reach for many small producers. In the interests of supporting Australian farmers and growers where possible, we developed our own criteria in selecting ingredients. While they may not have the official seal of approval, they employ environmentally responsible farming practices and use no chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Whenever you see a star beside an ingredient on our website or product labels it means that it is either certified organic or organically grown.

If you would like information about any of our ingredients and where they come from feel free to drop us a message. 😽

Right on 😽

I'll never for the life of me understand people who keep their dogs outside, or on the back of the Ute when a spare seat is right beside you... let dogs in to every part of your life... they make it better ... if you don't want hair on things don't get a dog. The fact they do make extra work for you ...makes you a better person.

A great resource to save for when you need it... just remember to ALWAYS DILUTE essential oils in a carrier oil before applying to your dog's skin or coat. Thanks to Canine Aromatherapy for sharing.😁

Re posting this because i get asked so often!

The answer is simple...

Wherever they need it! 😃

Essential oils work best when applied to the area of concern, so if they have a skin issue, sore muscles, upset tummy etc then dilute the oils and apply direct to that area.

There are times, however, when we are looking at issues that maybe don't have the benefit of being able to apply to a specific area.

In these cases, you can dilute the oils and apply down the spine, to the ear tips and between the pads of the feet.

This is especially beneficial for emotional use, like for calming, or when you just aren't sure where the actual problem is!

There are a few places we DON'T use essential oils. These are in the eyes and ear canals, or on the ge****ls. These are sensitive areas that should be avoided.

Most importantly, remember to always dilute your essential oils in a carrier oil or other dispersant. Never apply neat.

And finally, the essential oils I recommend to avoid using topically on your dog are Tea Tree, Wintergreen and Birch.

Not sure which of our balms is right for your dog? Here's a quick guide to help you choose the perfect product to suit his needs. 😻

🐶DOES HE NEED A SUNSCREEN? 🌞
Our Sunny Side Up Sun Protection Balm is just the ticket. With creamy organic goodies like shea butter with carrot and rasberry seed oils, it's your go-to balm for an all-natural sunscreen with zero irritants so it's safe for sensitive skin.

🐶DOES HE NEED SOMETHING FOR FLEAS? 🪳
Then our Get Off My Back Bitey (Flea) Balm is the go. It contains neem, peppermint and lavender to nourish the skin while letting fleas know it's time to go! It's also a great choice for healing flea bites.

🐶IS YOUR DOG ANXIOUS OR STRESSED? ⚡️
Grab some Settle Petal Calming Balm. It's a dreamy blend of lavender, sweet orange, chamomile and h**p seed oil to calm his nerves and nourish the skin and coat. Add a little to his temples and the tops of his paws or give him a relaxing massage. He'll love you forever!

🐶DOES HE HAVE IRRITATED OR DRY SKIN? 🥕
Then There There Pet Soothing Balm is the only way to go. Formulated for sensitive and irritated skin it contains the goodness of organic h**p and carrot seed oils, infused with organic calendula and marshmallow root to reduce inflammation and soothe itching. It's also a powerful moisturiser so it's perfect for dry and cracked paws and nose.

🐶DOES HE HAVE CUTS OR SCRAPES? 🌱
You have a couple of good options here. The Soothing Balm will absolutely moisturise and kickstart the healing process. But if you are concerned about infection, your other option is our Sit Stay Heal Ouchie Balm (Salve). It contains similar ingredients to our Soothing Balm with the addition of organic comfrey to assist healing and prevent bacterial infection.
