Soapy Tails

Soapy Tails

Soapy Tails™ has always been a labor of love as we are very much a dog family and our dogs are integral members of our family. We have been making soap for over 10 years, so it was natural that some of our bars were formulated especially for our canine friends. We believe the care we give our pets is as important as that we choose for ourselves.

At Soapy Tails™ we know most dog shampoos can contain harsh ingredients that can strip natural oils and dry out the skin leaving coats dull and lifeless. We choose to make bars that hydrate naturally while gently cleansing active coats. Free of SLS, parabens and petroleum based synthetic ingredients; these bars last multiple washings. Each bar is made to address the coat needs common to breeds and are noted by such characteristics as Wiry, Corded, Curly, Short and Smooth, Combination, Long & Silky and even Sensitive and Puppy coats.

At Soapy Tails™ we handcraft our canine bar soaps in small batches, so they are mild and ultra-cleansing. Soapy Tails formulations are safe and gentle to both your dog and the planet. At Soapy Tails we understand that each dog is unique. Our natural bar soaps and paw care is formulated to address the unique needs of your loyal companion. Handmade in small batches, our bars cleanse and nourish your dog’s skin and coat with pure essential oils and natural botanicals. A great deal of thought has gone into each of our formulas and what they are is as important as what they aren’t.
