Honey & Hemp Soap for Dogs: A Natural Way to Keep Your Pup Clean

When it comes to caring for our furry friends, pet owners are becoming more conscious of what goes onto their dog’s skin. Just like humans, dogs can react to harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances, and synthetic detergents commonly found in pet shampoos. That’s why more Australians are turning to natural alternatives — and our Honey & Hemp Soap has quickly become a favourite for eco-friendly dog grooming.

At Soap Suds & Oils of Margaret River, we handcraft our soaps with care, using raw honey from local hives and hemp seed oil rich in essential fatty acids. While our soaps are designed for people, many pet owners love using the Honey & Hemp Soap to gently clean and nourish their dogs’ coats.

Why Choose Natural Soap for Your Dog?

Dogs’ skin is more sensitive than ours — in fact, it has a higher pH level, meaning it can be easily disrupted by harsh cleansers. Using synthetic shampoos too often may strip away natural oils, leading to itchiness, irritation, or dry skin.

Our Honey & Hemp Soap is free from:

• SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate)
• Artificial colours and fragrances
• Parabens, silicones, and petrochemicals

Instead, it’s packed with natural goodness that both cleanses and conditions your pup’s coat.

The Benefits of Honey & Hemp Soap for Dogs

🐾 Raw Honey for Skin Health

Honey is naturally antibacterial and moisturising. On dogs, it can help soothe minor skin irritations, reduce dryness, and promote a glossy coat. Its gentle cleansing action removes dirt without stripping the skin of natural oils .

🐾 Hemp Seed Oil for Nourishment

Hemp seed oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support healthy skin and hair. When used in soap, it can help improve coat softness, reduce flakiness, and calm irritated skin .

🐾 A Gentle, Low-Foam Wash

Unlike many commercial shampoos, our natural soap doesn’t create unnecessary chemical lather. Instead, it produces a creamy, gentle foam that rinses out easily — leaving behind a soft, fresh coat without any residue.

How to Use Honey & Hemp Soap on Your Dog

1. Prepare your dog – Brush out knots and tangles before bath time.
2. Wet their coat – Use lukewarm water (not hot!) to avoid irritation.
3. Lather the soap – Rub the Honey & Hemp Soap between your hands or directly onto your dog’s coat.
4. Massage gently – Work the lather into their fur, paying attention to dirt-prone areas like paws, belly, and behind the ears.
5. Rinse thoroughly – Make sure no soap is left behind.
6. Dry naturally – Towel dry and let your pup air dry where possible.

💡 Pro tip: Because our soap is all-natural, you can use it more frequently than chemical shampoos — perfect for active dogs who love the beach or muddy trails!

Eco-Friendly Grooming for Conscious Pet Owners

Choosing our Honey & Hemp Soap isn’t just good for your dog, it’s also good for the planet. Each bar is:

• Palm oil-free
• Biodegradable
• Plastic-free packaging
• Handmade in Margaret River

So every wash is a small step towards reducing waste and protecting the environment — values we know many Australian dog owners care deeply about.

Is It Safe for All Dogs?

Yes — our Honey & Hemp Soap is safe for most dogs, including those with sensitive skin. However, as with any new grooming product, we recommend testing a small area first. Avoid contact with eyes, and always rinse thoroughly. If your dog has a specific skin condition, it’s best to consult your vet before switching products.
