 We love to discover natural organic
products for dogs and their people. Bath products are typically laden with
detergents and chemicals, but we have some lines featured that manufacture natural eco-friendly and chemical-free dog grooming products.
Aroma Paws, launched in 2008, considers their product line "eco-friendly essentials", and shies away from using the word "spa" in their products. "Frankly, though the products are amazing and indulgent, we don't want to consider this a treat. Using safer, more earth conscious products on ourselves and our animals needs to be a way of life," says Joe Guzman, the firms President. "We've found a way to bring the spa experience home with the rich fragrances from essential oils, combined in an exciting new way."
Partner and chief creative designer Crystalyn Guzman says: "Our goal is to
provide consumers an eco-friendly alternative to the highly processed chemical
based shampoos and grooming aids that are available in all of the mass
merchandise stores. It would be a shame if people couldn't find safe, natural
and eco-friendly products to use on their "furry babies."
I recently gave Alfie a much needed bath and
decided to try a new shampoo-conditioner combination. Many years ago I
attended a professional grooming workshop with one of the top handlers
in the country. I was definitely out of my comfort zone and learned that
weekend that every piece of equipment I owned and method I was using was
wrong wrong wrong. So, I listened and went out and bought sheers that
cost $200 plus a pair and lots more. I actually have an electric table
in my basement that is cherished given my having difficulties with both
my overall strength and pain in my hands doing repetitive movements.
And, I had all the recommended grooming shampoos, sprays, conditioners,
you name it. But, none of them are organic or truly sensitive in their
formulas. So, I decided to try some products from our new Aroma Paws
eco-friendly line.
I have been delighted with the
products and it wasn’t until a recent bathing that I got the best, most
un-biased recommendation, of just how truly wonderful they were.
I am not too-much into fragrances
so I have found combining the hypo-allergenic shampoo with one of the
fragrances gives me just a touch of scent. So far, the honeysuckle
jasmine dry skin formula is my favorite, and Kitty Cindy loves it as
well. Let me tell you how I know.
Cindy (small 6-pounder) is not too
enamored with Alfie (60-pounder), and essentially only tolerates his
presence, demonstrably jealous of the attention he receives. But, when
Gary and I decide to watch a movie in our big screen TV room where there
is a 2-seat small couch, she must be there along with Alfie who squeezes
between us.
Last week, I had just finished a
3-hour grooming session with the boy using my Aroma Paws 2-shampoo
combo. Alfie bound upstairs and I slowly and painfully trudged up as
well. After using this shampoo, I have noticed that the texture of
Alfie’s fur is just like silk. It is just so soft and luxurious that
Gary and I cannot keep our hands off of him after a bath. Alfie always
has a great sheen, but I owe that to the
6000 units of pure Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil that he gets daily.
But, it is the shampoo that gives him the most
delicious soft scent and the glorious feel.
Well, we decided to watch a movie
after this long grooming session and therefore the pileup commenced on
our small viewing sofa. I think this was the first time that Cindy was
so close to Alfie after a bathing. Well, all of a sudden she began
sniffing him. She pushed her nose back and forth from his paws up his
legs to his chest. And, then she took her head and burrowed it into his
fur. I almost could not see it any longer as it was almost covered
entirely by Alfie’s fur. You could honestly tell that she was mesmerized
by him. She could not seem to get enough and continued this behavior for
a while. Poor Alfie did not know what to make of it since she is
perpetually slapping him silly over one perceived injustice after
another. So, he froze and just let her proceed. I only wish I had tried
to get it on film, but it never would have captured the sensory
experience that you needed to capture via smell and touch.
Honestly, I would love to hear
from other folks after using this shampoo. I don’t typically get too
excited about products like this but anyone who would have experienced
this Kitty-Golden session would be similarly convinced.
