Theme Week Pets: Organic dog shampoos
Every week we pick a theme to explore in more depth, and this week that theme is eco-friendly pets. To read all our posts related to this theme, click here. Pets carry a heavy body burden, in other words, the amount of harmful substances that shouldn't be in their bodies. For example, the Environmental Working Group took samples from dogs and cats and they found that the animals were polluted with many of the same chemicals that humans are, which makes sense, considering our pets live in the same environments we do.
With that in mind, it might be time to take some steps to make your dog healthier, and that goes for his personal care products too. Perhaps you've already switched over a bunch of your shampoos and soaps, getting rid of all the ones with questionable chemicals. Well, maybe it's time to do the same for your dog too!
See the gallery below for some organic dog shampoos! Your dog will feel like a very lucky dog indeed.

An important thing to consider when looking for an Organic shampoo is to look for a Certifier. None if any of the above products are certified organic. If a product is not certified you have no way of knowing exactly what it is you are being sold other than the word "Organic". I operate a company named Green Paws. We have Certified Organic- USDA Approved Shampoos for all animals. Our products are certified by the Vermont Organic Farmers. This means they approve everything from our ingredients to our labels. For more information visit us at http://www.GreenPawsDirect.com We created our line to provide a healthier life for all pets.
