Discover the 5 benefits of plastic-free shampoo bars for dogs. Learn why this eco-conscious grooming choice is a valuable addition to your range.

Dogs are much more a part of the family than they used to be and are therefore treated more like we humans take care of ourselves. Taking good care of your dog's skin and coat is a good example of this. In addition to the traditional shampoo bottles, you see a new trend emerging: shampoo bars for dogs. Below we explain what shampoo bars are and have listed the advantages.

What are shampoo bars?

Shampoo bars are solid shampoo bars and are becoming increasingly popular. Typically, most shampoos are liquid and are mainly packaged in plastic bottles. A shampoo bar is usually made from natural vegetable oils, plants and other essential oils. Since shampoo bars do not contain any liquids, they are more concentrated and therefore do not need to be preservatives added so that they can be sold plastic-free. A shampoo bar therefore fits perfectly into a low waste lifestyle, is better for the wallet and not to forget the environment.

The benefits of a shampoo bar

1 Plastic Free

You can wash your dog's fur without using a plastic bottle! Plastic-free shampoo bars do not contain microplastics and are not packaged in plastic, but in a cardboard box. So it is a completely plastic-free product! Reducing plastic in everyday life is very important. By selling Greenfields shampoo bars you are already contributing to making our world more sustainable.

2 Natural ingredients

Greenfields shampoo bars only use natural ingredients such as olive oil, argan oil or even quinoa. By using natural ingredients, Greenfields offers dogs a completely natural coat care. All Greenfields shampoo bars are handmade in the Netherlands, pH neutral, vegan, free of parabens and contain no artificial colorants.

3 Good for the wallet

The shampoo bars are economical and sustainable in use, one shampoo bar lasts up to 60 washes, which is also longer than a bottle of liquid shampoo.

4 Suitable for all coat types

Greenfields has developed a shampoo bar for every type of coat. For example, the All-In-One shampoo bar offers a shampoo and conditioner in one. For dogs with sensitive skin and coat, Greenfields has specially developed a Sensitive shampoo bar with soothing ingredients. Also for the youngest dogs there is the Puppy shampoo bar for the most suitable care of the young coat.

5 Easy for on the go

For dog owners who regularly travel with their dog, shampoo bars are ideal to take with them because they are quite small, so there is always room in the bag or suitcase. Nowadays it is also easier to fly with the dog, smaller dogs are allowed on your lap. Because the shampoo bar has a solid form and is not liquid, it can easily be taken along in a small suitcase.

Tips for using the shampoo bar

Pre-brush the coat if necessary
Wet the dog in the bath or shower
Massage the shampoo bar over the coat until foam is created and rub into the coat
Rinse the shampoo with lukewarm water until all the shampoo is out
Then dry the dog
