would you be surprised to learn that
your dog skin is a lot thinner and more
sensitive than yours yes it's true skin
is the largest organ on your dog's body
that is responsible for protecting him
against injury disease and damage dog
owners are beginning to understand the
importance of feeding a natural Whole
Foods based diet the dangers of vaccines
worms as well as flea tick treatments
but grooming products are equally
important
choosing a safe and non-toxic product is
vital unfortunately manufacturers are
making it hard to choose so the easiest
approach to buy shampoo is check if it's
certified organic look for the USDA
organic label just like you look at for
the AAF CEO certified label on dog food
so today we are going to review the
world's top for dog shampoo brands wall
earth bath pet head and Burt's Bees will
have to qualify the label test and pH
test to become the best of all our sole
motive is to help you understand the
label and identify what danger is lying
in your dog shampoo also tell us which
shampoo do you use for your dog in the
comment section below
let's get started so there are three
dangerous ingredient groups you must
look out for while choosing a shampoo
for your furry friend
number one is preservatives have you
seen an ingredient label that simply
said preservatives if so don't put it in
your shopping cart chances are they
aren't disclosing it because it is one
of the formaldehyde or parabens
releasing preservatives that may cause
serious health concerns like skin
reaction burning itching rashes hormone
disruption reproductive issues or cancer
number two is sulfate family brands tell
us that sulfates act like a detergent
and makes the shampoo suds ear the hair
gets sleek and shiny and washes out the
dirt and oil trapped in the hair but
actually they are also stripping the
natural oils and
hitting the skin the two most commonly
used sulfates are sodium lauryl sulfate
and sodium laureth sulfate which causes
redness dryness and itching and the last
number three is ethanolamines why they
are the main concern because
ethanolamines break down into nitrogen
and form nitrosamines which can be
carcinogenic have reproductive
developmental and organ system toxicity
so you should better check the label and
then there are sodium benzoate it is not
harmful at all it is mixed with citric
acid or absorbing acid to form benzene
which itself is a cancer-causing
chemical associated with leukemia and
other blood disorders what else you
should look out for on the label are
these which are also potential causes
for cancer skin allergies and
reproductive and development toxicity as
you now know what to look out let's
start with the first test the label test
in this test
whichever brands label will have the
harmful ingredients will get negative
marks and the highest negative score
will get eliminated okay to start this
off let's look at the wall label panel
here it has sodium laureth sulfate right
at the beginning let me tell you the
products showing coconut based cleansers
are not that clean and natural at all
then there is cocoa bud propyl betaine a
potential carcinogenic and in the last
fragrance and artificial colors so the
wall scored negative four points okay
now check it out
earth bath is showing here coconut based
cleansers the carriers of sls and
preservative which possibly may have
formaldehyde releasers in its
composition so earth baths scored
negative two points here the pet head
label has fragrance polysorbate 60 which
messes with the ph of skin hair and fur
and down here is the methyl IOC's alone
which is a highly corrosive chemical
that is linked to lung toxicity allergic
reactions and possible neurotoxicity so
pet heads go negative three in this
round whereas the Burt's Bees has the
only one ingredient so
benzo which has nothing to cause any
serious health concerns until it is
mixed with citric acid or absorbing acid
and none of them is used in the making
process here so sodium benzoate is
completely safe
which is why Bert's be still stands on
zero with the lead now that wall and pet
head have scored the highest negative
points they won't be competing in the
next round which is the pH vs test the
dog skin is more sensitive than the
babies because their skin pH is more
alkaline while human skin pH is more
acidic
that's why canine shampoo has to be
specifically formulated with a balanced
pH to prevent itching and drying of
their skin so in this test
whichever shampoo will be more alkaline
in nature we'll get one mark let's get
started
[Music]
the earth bath strip is showing an
orangish color that falls in the acidic
range whereas the strip of Burt's Bees
is showing yellow color that comes in
the neutral to alkaline range let's
check out the pH level of both strips on
the pH meter here the color of the Earth
bath strip is ranging in between five to
three whereas the byrds be strip is
ranging in between 6 to 7 on the pH
scale which makes Burt's Bees winner of
this round let's go to the scoreboard
after tallying the score we got our
winner Burt's Bees has proved to be a
safe and natural dog shampoo for all
dogs our main motive is only to educate
pet owners about product ingredients and
help them choose the best options for
their dogs as pet owners are getting
concerned about food safety similarly
they should learn how to look beyond the
marketing claims and become label smart
