Question 1

Is it tear free?

Accepted Answer

Hi Jennifer :)No, it's not tear-free but here's the thing.  There is no such thing as safe, tear-free shampoo.  Manufacturers who market tear-free products are adding a numbing chemical to hide the stinging that occurs when soap comes into contact with the eye (dog and human).  Sounds good, but the problem is that the chemicals they use to create the numbing have been linked to the destruction of proteins necessary for visual development in puppies, and cataracts in adult dogs. Not good.  So, the bottom line is that if you accidentally get 4-Legger shampoo in your dog's eye, it might not feel very good for a few minutes but it's not going to harm your dog's eyes or long term eye health.  Thanks for the question.

Question 2

Can I add tea tree oil 100% pure and organic ? Or need to be a special one for dogs ? Thx!

Accepted Answer

Hi Micaela, you can definitely add tea tree oil to the shampoo, but as you stated make sure it is a very high grade of essential oil - like organic or at a minimum, therapeutic/medical grade.  I would suggest using a small bottle and mix your formulation in a small batch instead of adding it into your full size bottle.  Use the rule: you can always add more, but you can't take it out once it's in!  Essential oils are very strong so just a drop or two should be plenty.  You'll need to make sure it's well-shaken/stirred especially in between uses since the added oil may separate.  Thanks for the question!

Question 3

Ph balanced?

Accepted Answer

Hi Micaela - Great question!  Yes, all of our 4-Legger shampoo formulations are pH balanced for a dog's more sensitive skin/coat.  Dogs have thinner skin than humans so whatever is put on them, absorbs much more quickly.  Shampoos or products that are pH balanced for humans will destroy your dogs acid mantle, which is its most important protection to help the immune system guard against infection and fungus.  NEVER use commercial human shampoo on your dog since it is too acidic and will harm your dogs skin/coat.  Thanks for a great question!Melissa

Question 4

Is this tearless shampoo?

Accepted Answer

Hi June!  There really is no such thing as tear-free shampoo. Unfortunately that doesn't stop most companies from using it as a marketing term to get sales. The truth is that even ones that claim to be tear free, have just added MORE chemicals to neutralize the stinging effect of the other chemicals that are already in it. So, a "tear free" shampoo really just means there are even more harmful chemicals in it - nobody wants that for their pup! Even worse, the chemical that other companies normally use to make their shampoo "tear free" has been linked to cataracts in dogs, which can lead to blindness! Even worse for puppies since the "tear free" chemical can destroy the protein necessary for visual development.  Sorry this is a long answer, but it's important information and it is an excellent question. We do not recommend using 4-Legger in such a way that it comes in contact with your dogs eyes...just as you wouldn't use a soap product around your own eyes. There is no chemical in our product that would hurt your dogs eyes, but it might not be be very comfortable, so just use care and common sense during bath time. Thank you for the question!
