Quality Grooming/Spa Products

What is the difference in quality of grooming products?
The quality of product reflects the quality of ingredients that go into that product. The ingredients in our line of spa products on Designer Dog Avenue.com contain better than human quality ingredients, and are tested on humans. Many oatmeal shampoos use oat extract. A superior ingredient is colloidal oatmeal, a much more effective type of oatmeal. In fact, colloidal oatmeal is one of the few natural ingredients regulated by the U.S. food and Drug Administration. The FDA has stated that colloidal oatmeal protects skin and provides temporary relief of itching and irritation caused by insect bites, reactions to poison plants, and various other skin rashes and allergies. The oatmeal containing spa products, such as Comfy Dog Oatmeal Shampoo carried by Designer Dog Avenue contain colloidal oatmeal rather than oat extract.

Many bath replacement sprays and perfumes simply mask odor. Ordenone is an ingredient which removes odors by binding with, and neutralizing the proteins that cause them. Our product Dry Dog, and other sprays by the same company, contain Ordenone which keeps your dog fresh and smelling clean longer. I recommend Dry dog to my Cairn Terrier customers, since Cairns should be bathed infrequently due to dry itchy skin. It’s a timesaving healthy alternative to bathing, and smells really great!
