Need-led dog care
A better bath begins with what they need.

Outdoor dirt & grass smell

A few essentials about choosing, using, and caring for a SOOTHEORY bar.
Which SOOTHEORY bar is right for my dog?
Choose according to what your dog needs most from bath time, or use Find Their Ritual for a recommendation.
Are SOOTHEORY shampoo bars soap-free?
The formulas are being developed as soap-free dog shampoo bars. This claim will be confirmed against the completed production formula.
How do I use a dog shampoo bar?
Wet the coat and bar, build lather with wet hands or a lather bag, massage through the coat, and rinse thoroughly.
How should I store the bar?
Keep it on a dry, well-draining dish away from standing water and allow it to dry completely between baths.
Does The Forest Cleanse repel fleas or ticks?
No. It is a cleansing bar for dirt, grass smell, and outdoor mess—not a flea or tick treatment.
