Dorwest Soft and Serene Shampoo Bar

Why Dorwest pet shampoo bars?

Our nourishing pet shampoo bar range is handmade in Wales using 100% natural ingredients. Free from artificial colours and fragrances, parabens, SLS, silicone, mineral oil, petroleum and PEGs – you can be sure that you are washing your dog with nothing but natural goodness.

Specially formulated to support optimal skin and coat health, all the bars have a nourishing base blend of coconut oil, shea butter, sunflower oil, castor oil, and sweet almond oil. Naturally conditioning and moisturising, this combination helps reduce the need for a separate conditioner.

Each bar is formulated to create a creamy lather to help effortlessly clean the coat and lift dirt, but also to be easy rinse with no residue left behind. There are three bars to choose from – Fox and Flea, Natural and Naked or Soft and Serene, and they are all suitable for every coat type.

So, whether your four-legged friend is a mucky pup or sensitive-skinned, long, short, wire or smooth-coated, they can be pampered by nature.

How do I use the Soft and Serene shampoo bar for best effects?

To help you get the most out of your dog shampoo bar we have a few top tips:

Brushing your dog before washing (particularly long-coated breeds) makes it easier for the shampoo to get through and cleanse the entire coat.
Wet the shampoo bar and your dog’s coat.
Massage the bar through the coat until you have a good lather (this can take longer in hard water areas), then place the shampoo bar to the side and continue to massage the skin and coat for a deep clean.
Rinse the coat thoroughly to ensure all the shampoo has been washed out – this is generally easy with our shampoo bars as they have great rinsability!
Ater use, pop your bar on a soap dish or rack so it can fully dry (gaps to allow airflow help speed this up).
Once dry, you can put your bar back in the box, ready for the next bath time!

Remember:

Fully drying your bar is important to reduce tackiness – if your shampoo bar does become tacky a quick rinse before use can help
There can be a transition period when you stop using artificial ingredients on the coat. This can take longer in hard-water areas, so rinsing the coat thoroughly after shampooing and brushing the coat through when dry can be beneficial to make the transition smoother.

Our Wheatgerm Oil Liquid delivers high levels of Vitamin E in an easy-to-give, premium grade liquid. Just add it to your pet's food for them to benefit from the powerful natural antioxidant action of Vitamin E, which neutralises free radicals that are produced as a by-product of everyday cell functions. Our Wheatgerm Oil Liquid can be given year-round to help promote a healthy skin and coat, and is also used to maintain fertility and a healthy reproductive system in both male and female pets. This supplement delivers all the benefits of Vitamin E from Wheatgerm oil, but in an easy to give, premium grade liquid that can be added to your pet's food. Wheatgerm oil contains a powerful natural antioxidant for general health and to support a healthy skin, coat and reproductive system. How can I help prepare my bitch for breeding? Once you've made the decision to breed from your bitch, planning is key! From finding the perfect sire, to ensuring she is in peak health, there's a lot to think about. Her state of health and fitness prior to mating and throughout her pregnancy is key to ensuring the best possible outcomes for her and her pups. Exercise and diet need to be considered, and it's important to prepare yourself and her for the whelping. One of the more important elements in the diet of the bitch before mating is Vitamin E (often referred to as the ‘fertility vitamin’). An easy way to give vitamin E is by adding a daily measure of our Wheatgerm Oil, either capsules or liquid, to her feed. This has a high level of vitamin E in a natural form which is readily absorbed. How should I use Wheatgerm Oil? Ideally, you should start giving our Wheatgerm Oil Liquid from the first sign of your bitch coming into season. On the day before and on the actual day of mating, double the amount to give an extra boost. You should then continue supplementing for three weeks following mating to provide support to the foetuses during the important first trimester. Dogs can also benefit from being given our Wheatgerm Oil Liquid, give for a week before mating, again doubling the amount given on the day before and on the actual day of mating. Wheatgerm is also beneficial for skin health, thanks to its high levels of Vitamin E, known to help reduce skin damage and support healthy Collagen formation and added bonus of vitamins A, D, B vitamins and Fatty Acids. To help maintain skin condition, our Wheatgerm Oil Liquid should be given daily. Note: This item will be sent direct from the supplier. Produced in the UK

This is an ideal formulation for cats and small dogs to reduce scurfiness or dryness and help maintain healthy skin and coat condition.

How do I help my pet with dry skin? Dry, flaky and scurfy skin can make your pet itchy and can get worse at certain times of the year. There can be multiple causes, including a defective moisture barrier, that when functioning normally helps to retain moisture in the skin, dehydration or allergies. Feeding your pet a moist diet and ensuring they always have access to water, together with regular grooming can help, but it can also be beneficial to supplement your pet with Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) to promote skin and coat condition. Our Evening Primrose Oil Liquid is naturally high in the Omega 6 Fatty Acid, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) which helps maintain skin renewal and moisture retention while supporting a healthy, shiny coat.

Click here for the Evening Primose Oil Capsules. Both products contain 10% GLA but the liquid allows for the correct amount to be given to smaller pets. With no odour or taste, the liquid can simply be added to food, given directly into the mouth or dropped onto to nose to be licked off for showstopping shine! What are the other uses for Evening Primrose Oil?

We recommend giving it to all bitches after a season to help restore hormonal balance. Note: This item will be sent direct from the supplier. Produced in the UK

Dorwest Elderberry & Nettle Extract For Dogs And Cats

admin — Sat, 13 Aug 2022 09:05:15 +0000

Dorwest Elderberry & Nettle Extract Combat pigment loss naturally with this highly concentrated liquid rich in Iodine and Iron. Have you noticed your pet's nose starting to turn pink? This is often the most obvious site of pigment loss. Our Elderberry & Nettle Extract supplement uses highly concentrated, full strength liquid extracts which are naturally rich in Iodine and Iron, both known to help combat pigment loss. Add to your pet's food for as long as required. What causes pigmentation loss? A loss of pigmentation may occur on the nose, eyes and mouth during the winter months ('‘winter nose'), following illness or in old age, and also in bitches following a season or pregnancy. It is often of particular concern in show dogs and affects some breeds more than others, being particularly noticeable in white breeds with black noses. The fading is generally considered to be caused by a deficiency of minerals, particularly Iodine and Iron. There are no certain ways to overcome pigmentation loss but, generally speaking, if there has been good pigmentation in the past, then it usually can be restored using specialised supplements. How does Elderberry & Nettle Extract help and how should I use it? Our Elderberry & Nettle Extract is specifically formulated to assist with pigmentation loss, as it has high natural levels of both Iodine and Iron. You can add it to your pet's feed daily, and it can be given at any time of year, with any feeding regime, without affecting the dietary balance. Although using our Elderberry and Nettle Extract provides one of the fastest routes to regaining pigmentation, it will still take around six weeks of daily use to see an improvement as part of the skin's renewal process. Many pet owners then use our Kelp Seaweed Powder or Kelp Seaweed Tablets to maintain pigment. How long does it take to work? The highly concentrated full strength liquid extract used in this supplement can be added to the existing diet and given for as long as it is needed. It takes around 6 weeks for an improvement to be seen as part of the skin renewal process. Note: This item will be sent direct from the supplier. Produced in the UK

Dorwest Scent & Shine Shampoo

admin — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 10:13:20 +0000

Dorwest Scent & Shine Shampoo Naturally hydrating and soothing for unbeatable shine, ideal for all skin types. The newest addition to our natural shampoo range, our Scent & Shine Shampoo enhances shine while leaving behind a beautiful, uplifting scent which we know you and your dog will love. The all-natural formulation combines the hydrating and soothing properties of Chamomile extract and Aloe Vera with a range of powerful essential oils. Rose Geranium soothes and balances the skin, Blood Orange enhances coat shine and helps to reduce redness, while Jasmine heals and moisturises. This shampoo is the perfect treat for you and your dog! Do I need to wash my dog? Some dogs would rather skip bath time but, alongside regular brushing, washing your dog with a natural dog shampoo like Dorwest's Scent & Shine Shampoo is an important step in your dog's grooming regime. As well as cleaning dust, dirt and mud from the coat, washing also helps remove any allergens such as pollens, that can be picked up whilst out on their adventures. How often should I wash my pet? This will be different for every dog, depending on their particular needs. Dogs with skin conditions shouldn't be washed more than is necessary to avoid their skin from becoming overly sensitive. Smooth coated breeds are relatively low-maintenance grooming wise, and do not need to be washed as often as other coat types. However, a dog with a double-coat needs regular brushing and washing to remove hair, dead skin and to avoid knots. Similarly, with curly coated breeds like Poodles or Welsh Terriers, daily brushing will keep their coat knot free and regular washing will leave it feeling soft and healthy.
