The hardest part will be keeping him in the water for more than a few minutes - he's a little guy (chihuahua) but fights me like a Great Dane when it comes to baths! Looking forward to trying your soaps, most recently I have been using Splash Organics, but the stand they had in a local craft place has closed down. Now I have a few bars of Zum (Indigo Wild, I think) which is also a goats milk soap, which is what I prefer anyway (splash organics is all olive oil) I use natural soap for my skin, body, and hair. I can buy Zum locally, and it is a decent product, but I am not in love with it. So, I am still searching. Been getting your newsletter for at least a year, and love the philosophy behind your products. Thanks again! Jennifer Thanks so much, will give it a try.

(southern NJ) I keep hoping to run into it at a craft fair someday....but I wanted to ask if an oatmeal soap would be good for pets, specifically a dog. My dog has skin allergies at this time of year, scratching so bad that sometimes I have to give him benadryl. Usually it only lasts a few weeks, but this year it is going on for much longer, and I am at the point where I am thinking of taking him to the vet. I know she'll just want to give him meds, and the poor guy is already taking medication for seizures. I usually bath my dogs with leftover pieces of natural soap I use, nothing with fragrance. I might grind up some oatmeal and fill up the tub with it and water to soak him in today. Do you think it would help?
