Pet Product Review: Earth Drops Pet-ables

Arg! My first run-in with Blogger not saving my post - all that great stuff is gone now...sigh...ok starting over...

Having made my way over to the Indianapolis City Market's Farmers' Market almost every Wednesday since it started this year - I have come to know the vendors and their wares fairly well. Rarely do I actually have cash on me to purchase these marvelous items, but on the rare occurrence that I do, I have found that the products and produce at the farmer's market just cannot be beat! Whether its berries, vegetables, soaps or plants - you won't be disappointed.

This past Wednesday I had managed to make it to the bank before my trip so I had some mullah to work with. I came away with a quart of blueberries, a pint of raspberries and a sample pack of Earth Drops Pet-ables pet soaps.

We go through dog wash quite a bit with two dogs in the house and with my ultra-sensitive nose. What I haven't been able to find is a dog shampoo whose scents lasts longer than a few hours. Not that my dogs need to smell like coconut, but it would be nice if the scent I am paying extra for actual stays around. So, I decided to try this. Now Pet-able isn't really shampoo - it is a bar of vegetable soap. So the act of washing the dog was a little different - but really didn't take much more time. And the smell? Wow! It has been 3 days so far and the dogs' fur is still lightly scented with the essential oils from the soap. So far I have only tried the Summer Shine sample - but they all smell pretty good.

Here's a little more info about the soaps from their website.

Pet-ables® Handcrafted soaps are 100% Natural Herbal Vegetable based bath products for pet- lover’s that love to pamper their fur kids. We use the highest quality vegetable oils, herbs, and 100% pure essential oils in all our handmade bath soaps. The four-legged family members are much more sensitive to harsh chemicals found in many shampooing and bathing products than are the two legged ones. Because our pet soaps are 100% purely natural soap that does not contain chemicals, detergents, and is not a shampoo, rinsing even a very thick furry coat is very easy. For pet-owner's, bathing and grooming your pet’s coat with Earth Drops®, Pet-ables® is no longer a chore, or a labor of love. It will be an enjoyable experience for all. Earth Drops® Pet-ables® soaps are just the way Mother Nature intended them to be, moisturizing and gentle for shinny beautifully groomed coats and wagging tails. We developed Pet-ables® just for our own much loved fur kids. We are sure that you and your pets will enjoy them too.

Does the "pet-ables" interfere with flea protection like advantage or frontline? I hate putting that on my dogs only to find when they are groomed, the shampoo they use strips that away. We have had a horrible battle with fleas over the last 2 years. I wouldn't mind if they smelled like cocoanut for a few days. Of course they are hoping there's a squirrel guts scented bar!
