Clear Conscience Geranium Pet Shampoo

Last month I was fortunate enough to receive the Geranium Pet Shampoo from the Clear Conscience Soap Company. Now, this was sitting in my cupboard for almost two weeks before I got a chance to use it on Genji and everytime I opened the cupboard this amazing smell wafted out. Not a flowery, girly scent, just a nice clean natural fragrance. 

Bath time in our household is never fun and this is usually the result of running water in the tub.

I'm not moving from under this chair.

My first impression was that the soap may be a bit difficult to use on Genji as we have to work quite quickly with him. However, once he was in and rinsed all it took was a couple of rubs over his coat to soap up nicely.  I don't think Genji liked the smell of the soap very much, he kinda just looked at it with a scared look on his face but I'm sure that was just because he didn't know what it was. 

Once he's in it's always a bit of a struggle hence no photos of him in the tub. But here are a couple of after photos.

This pet shampoo worked wonders. Once all dry, Genji smelled amazing and his coat was so shiny and soft for over a week. Usually we're struggling to make it through a fortnight before he needs another bath (It's bad for their skin to bath every week) but with this soap he doesn't seem to smell as bad come bath day. 

The geranium in this soap helps protect against fleas and assists with healing small cuts and abrasions. Genji hadn't had fleas for a few months prior to using this shampoo, but he hasn't started scratching either which is a good sign. 

I forgot to take a photo of the soap prior to using, but here's a shot after two washes (hair and all). 

This soap has probably lost about 2 cm from two washes, so it won't last a year but for a small to medium dog it suits just fine. I'm estimating we'll get another four to five washes out of this bar. 

I've tried many of the brand name dog shampoos in the past and most of them fail to either condition or prevent fleas. This product gets a big tick for both. I give the Geranium Pet Shampoo a 9/10. I give it a 9 because at the moment the soap is just sitting on the tub ledge being all slimy but buying a soap container would easily fix the storage issue. It'd be great to see a similar product in a pump bottle though. This is definitely a product that we'll be using again and again. Our pup hates bath time so, any product that keeps him cleaner for longer tops my list.

The Clear Conscience Geranium Pet Shampoo retails for $5.60 for a 80g block and can be purchased from their website. Go check it out!
