Key features & specs

How it compares

This solid bar outperforms traditional liquid shampoos by offering up to 60-70 washes, which is roughly equivalent to two 16-ounce plastic bottles. Unlike industrial detergent-based pet washes, The Earthling Co. uses a gentle surfactant system that preserves the natural oils on a pet's coat rather than stripping them away. When compared to typical grocery store grooming products, this bar provides a much richer, creamier lather that reaches the undercoat more effectively.

How to use it

1. Thoroughly wet your pet's coat with lukewarm water.
2. Rub the Earthling Co. Pet Shampoo Bar directly onto the fur to create a lather.
3. Massage the suds deep into the coat, ensuring you reach the skin.
4. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
5. Pat dry with a towel and store the bar in a dry, well-ventilated area to prolong its life.

The lather is surprisingly thick for a bar soap, and it left my golden retriever’s coat incredibly soft without that 'wet dog' smell.

Sustainability & ethics

The Earthling Co. focuses on a circular supply chain by utilizing domestically sourced plant-based ingredients and entirely plastic-free shipping. The Pet Shampoo Bar is manufactured in small batches in the USA to maintain quality control and reduce carbon emissions associated with long-distance freight. By choosing a solid format, the brand eliminates the need for preservatives and stabilizers required in water-based formulas.
