If you knew what is the best pet shampoo, you would buy it if the price were reasonable right? So the question is, what are you doing to find out which one will make your pet’s skin and coat the cleanest, shiniest and healthiest? This may take a little homework because manufacturers like to use words you don’t understand, but in the long run, it will save you a lot of money in vet bills for allergies, dry skin, dander, excessive licking, scratching, hot spots, and other skin issues.
The first and most important action you can take to protect your animal from potentially toxic ingredients in pet shampoos is learn how to read labels so you know what you’re putting on your buddy’s skin. This is extremely important because dog’s and cat’s skin is their biggest organ. It is sensitive and needs to have a strong immunity defense to protect them from disease, virus, insects and all other elements of the environment. What goes on your cat’s or dog’s skin gets absorbed easily, so if you are not a label reader, you may consider becoming one.
Unfortunately, because of costs and easy access, many manufacturers sometimes use questionable ingredients. Pet shampoo labels are confusing and often misleading. For example, formaldehyde is a preservative that is linked cancer. It’s been banned in Canada and Japan, but not in the US. Manufacturers like it because it’s cheap, easy to obtain and makes for a long shelf life. Since the FDA made labeling more stringent because of the many health issues it was causing, formaldehyde has been “reinvented” to be in “slow release” form.
People often complain that their dog has allergies, but one of the most widely used shampoo preservatives is isothiazolineone, which is synthesized through chemical reactions that can irritate a dog’s skin and result in allergic reactions.
Many pet products contain parabens although they may be linked to increased estrogen levels. They are known to accumulate in a dog’s body posing potential health risks such as cancer and a disruption in estrogen levels. Parabens on labels are listed as ethyl paraben, propylparaben, butylparaben or methylparaben—clearly mystifying purchasers.
Everyone wants their pet to smell pretty, but artificial fragrance is not the answer. Artificial fragrance is a dangerously misleading term used to disguise hundreds of harmful toxic chemical ingredients in pet shampoos. One of the dangers in using products containing artificial fragrances is many are made of petrochemicals from crude oil–a highly toxic substance.
Also, pet shampoos often include phthalates, one of the most commonly used artificial fragrance ingredients. It is known for disrupting the hormonal balance in dogs. Unfortunately, many of these artificial fragrances contain chemical structures akin to pesticides. They may potentially slowly poison your dog.
“A 1986 report by the National Academy of Sciences noted that 95 percent of chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum, basically crude oil and include benzene derivatives (carcinogenic), aldehydes, toluene, and many other known toxic chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects, central nervous system.”
