I would like to purchase a natural dog shampoo such as 4-legger but I would like to understand how they are fragranced and do they contain any artificial colours?
4-Legger Shampoos are high quality, organic dog shampoos from the US. These dog shampoos are free from artificial colours, fragrances and any toxic additives.
When it comes to fragrance the 4-Legger shampoos rely on essential oils, such as lavender or lemongrass for their scent, rather than artificial chemicals. But, those essential oils are added for their known health benefits for your pet. The fact the shampoos smell great is a bonus!
When it comes to natural ingredients any scent is therefore natural. and it will not last as long as synthetic fragrances or products that use synthetic ingredients to unnaturally extend the length of time the scent may last.
In terms of the colour of 4-Legger shampoos - the organic ingredients take on their natural color. They have an amber colour but none are exactly the same. Their

Some hints to help pets stay safe and well in Summertime
Following the miserable Winter we have had, it’s hard to remember that we do sometimes get hot summery weather in the UK, but we do and here are a few hints to help pets stay safe and well in Summertime.
- Check regularly for fleas and ticks on the skin, and look out for adders when walking in country areas.
- If you are leaving your pet at home for several hours, make sure there is a cool room or area available – leave a fan on if necessary, and also plenty of water.
- If you are leaving your pet outdoors for any length of time, ensure shade (and water) are available.
- Take a bottle of water and a drinking bowl with you if you are taking your dog out for long walks or on car journeys and offer water regularly.
- If you walk your dog regularly on pavements, check for sore pads in hot weather.
- Above all, don’t ever leave your dog in a car on a warm day, even if not in direct sunshine.

If you're worried about global plastic waste, you're not alone. Around 400 million tonnes of the stuff is produced every year, with an estimated 50% of this being single-use plastic. But what can we do to reduce our individual plastic footprint as pet owners? The answer's simpler than you might think...
Poo bags are an unavoidable part of life for dog owners. With around 13 million dogs in UK homes, the daily tally of waste bags used across the country is staggering. Unfortunately, the journey of these bags doesn’t end when we throw them in the bin. Instead, many of them go on to contribute to one of the planet's biggest challenges — plastic pollution.
The problem with traditional plastic poo bags lies in how they break down. These bags, often made from petroleum-based plastics, don’t decompose naturally. Instead, they can take hundreds of years to degrade in landfill, all the while breaking into smaller pieces known as microplastics. These tiny particles contaminate soil and waterways,

You want to reduce your dog's exposure to "toxic goo" dog shampoo but you want to know what to expect when switching to a true organic dog shampoo. 4-Legger has helped thousands of pet parents through this transition so we can help set your expectations and offer a few tips!
Quality in - Quality Out
It is important to keep in mind that the health of your dog's skin and coat is affected by the food and treats you feed them. If you are feeding your dog high quality food, the transition will be less noticeable than if you are feeding lower quality food.
Concentrated but thinner consistency
Traditional synthetic thickeners in pet grooming products can't be used in certified organic dog shampoo as they are on the restricted list. These synthetic thickeners can have links to allergies, dry and itchy skin, hormone disruption and organ toxicity, and despite claims otherwise; they are not natural.
As a result, most organic dog shampoo is fairly thin but concentrated (meaning a little goes

- Increased thirst and urination
- Reduced appetite or weight loss
- Lethargy and weakness
- Vomiting and dehydration
