"A pet shampoo gentle enough for daily use. Powerful enough for real relief. Crafted by vets. Loved by pets."

How Dr. Matt’s pet shampoo bar was created.

Every change starts with a single idea — and for us, it began on a remote beach. Our family loves taking our pets on outdoor adventures. But during one trip to an isolated shoreline, we were heartbroken by the amount of plastic waste washed up on the sand. Locals told us they had cleaned it many times, only for the tides to bring it right back. That moment made something crystal clear: we needed to create a real, lasting change in pet care.

Our family has been part of the pet industry since 1978, and with a respected veterinarian in the family, we had the experience — and responsibility — to do better. We asked ourselves a simple question: What everyday pet product creates the most plastic waste? The answer was obvious: shampoo bottles.

When we researched existing “eco‑friendly” dog shampoos, we found major gaps. Ingredient lists were incomplete, sourcing was unclear, and many products weren’t truly sustainable or safe for sensitive skin. That didn’t sit right with us. We wanted something better — something we’d proudly use on our own pets.

So we set out to create a vet‑formulated, natural dog shampoo bar with:

  • Traceable, safe, plant‑based ingredients

  • Eco‑friendly, plastic‑free packaging

  • Zero‑waste, long‑lasting performance

  • Manufacturing in the USA using globally sourced sustainable ingredients

After months of development, we created a product that exceeded every expectation: a gentle, effective, botanical dog shampoo bar designed for sensitive skin, outdoor dogs, and eco‑conscious pet parents.

Our Protect & Calm Dog Shampoo Bar is:

  • Vet formulated for itchy, dry, or sensitive skin

  • Botanical and plant-based, with no harsh chemicals

  • Plastic-free and zero-waste, replacing 2–3 bottles of liquid shampoo

  • Travel-friendly, perfect for camping, hiking, beach trips, and everyday grooming

  • Long-lasting, concentrated, and efficient

Compact, portable, and crafted with care, our shampoo bar makes grooming simple — whether you’re at home, on the trail, or by the ocean. It cleans deeply, hydrates the skin, controls odor, and leaves your dog’s coat soft and refreshed.

This is more than a shampoo bar. It’s our family’s commitment to sustainable pet care and a cleaner planet — one bath at a time.
