We use Coconut oil as our main ingredient which makes a high foaming and highly cleansing soap. I kid you not this lather’s so well it is amazing. I find it so easy to wash my horse’s mane, because it is in your hand you can really scrub with it. Fabulous for getting right into the base of horse manes and tails and also scrubbing white socks. It is perfect for those muddy muzzles, precious paws and of course those dreaded patches of fox poo all dogs seem to love and Its great for greasy coats.
Coconut oil is well known for it’s natural anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. It contains Vitamin E and is an excellent moisturiser. All our soaps contain free floating coconut oil within each bar, just enough to moisturise the skin without weighing down the coat.
Scents
Revive and Shine – Lavender, Lemongrass & Rosemary Essential Oils with Calendula to make that coat shine.
Clean & Calm – With Lavender Essential Oil & Black Poppy Seeds to sooth and calm.
Buzz Off – Citronella, Lemongrass, Spearmint & Peppermint Essential Oils, with White poppy seeds – to help fight off those Bugs and clean the coat and skin.
The Chester and Cooke Nose, Skin and Paw Balm
Our moisturising dog balm is perfect for dry or crusty noses, sore and cracked paw pads, calloused elbows, or irritated skin. So is a great addition to your dogs 1st aid kit. This is handmade and all natural with no nasties. Safe to lick and is lightly scented.
Our balm is made with hemp, lavender and peppermint oils. Hemp oil contains Omega 3 and 6 and is a great source of high quality nutrients for skin health.
They come in a 15g tin, with this set.
How and when to apply
Dogs tend to lick their noses, especially around feed times, so we recommend using the nose balm after your dog has eaten. Apply to clean dry skin as often as needed. In the first instance apply morning and night and 1-2 extra times during the day. But do not worry our balm is safe to lick.
Dry noses
A dry nose doesn’t necessarily mean your dog is unwell, but it could indicate an allergy or irritant. The main reasons why your dog’s nose is dry could be due to allergies or sunburn, from excessive licking, age or perhaps dehydration. However, if they are showing any other symptoms that concern you its best to get them checked out by a vet.
Dry noses can be sore for your dog so a moisturising and hydrating nose balm can help relieve the discomfort. Using our natural dog balm can help keep the nose moist, prevent it from cracking and help sooth any irritation. As the balm is going on their nose, we have ensured our balm has minimal fragrance and taste, as well as being dog-friendly in case it is licked off.
If your dog likes to stay snuggled up to a fireplace or a radiator during the winter months, they may leave themselves at risk of a dry nose. So be prepared with some balm on stand by.
Paws and hot weather
It’s always best to walk either early in the morning or later in the evening, out of the day’s summer heat. But if in doubt check the pavement with the back of your hand to see if it will be comfortable to walk on. Amazingly At 25 degrees Celsius the pavement can reach up to 50 degrees, hot enough to burn those delicate paws.
If your dog’s paws have become too hot, allow to cool and then soothe and moisturise the area with a paw balm to calm irritation. It may be worth moisturising the paws daily during the height of summer to help prevent cracked dog paws, rough paw pads or injuries such as cuts.
Your dog’s pads are their only defence against terrain, it is so important to care for their pads and prevent irritated paws.
Allergies
Like us humans dogs can be effected by the changes in the environment. Pollen and other factors can irritate and cause itchy sore skin.
Chester has an allergy in the spring and summer months, and therefore I went on a quest for a balm, he would lick his paws, eventually making them sore. I wanted a balm to help sooth his skin and wanted it to be completely natural, safe to lick and again plastic free. I’m really pleased with our balm and the results it has had for Chester.
Our dog balm can help repair and calm irritated areas on the skin and paws and discomfort. But again if you are unhappy with your dogs health please do consult a vet.
Skin folds
Breeds like French or English bulldogs, Pugs and Shar Pei’s have skin folds which can become irritated and painful if cracked or too humid. Skin fold dermatitis is also very common in these wrinkly breeds and symptoms may include loss of hair, redness and inflammation.
Using our natural balm will help to calm any irritation and aid skin repair.
Everyday wear & tear
Dogs love to play, and explore, like Chester checking out rabbit holes or Nelson going at 100 miles an hour, irrespective of the terrain. The dog’s normal behaviour leads to general wear and tear on their bodies. Whether it be on their paws, skin or nose our dog balms will help with skin renewal and soothe irritated areas, grazes and dryness.
This product is not for use on Cat due to the essential oils.
Now on to the questions I get asked most about our soap.
Why on a rope?
Our 200g soaps all come on a rope this is highly recommended for horses for a few different reasons, 1. While you are scrubbing away, soap can be slippery and you could be always picking it up off the floor. Not great if like me you get on a step to wash your horse!! Simply slip the rope around your wrist and your job will be so much easier. 2. When you have finished washing your horse and dog you need to hand it up to dry. So it is perfect for this. For our smaller soaps please use a soap dish.
What is it made of & Is it good for sensitive skin?
Yes brilliant, Our soap does not contain any Parabens, SLS SLES or any artificial Surfactants or perfumes, the only ingredients are Coconut Oil, Water and Lye plus the scent ingredients of essential oils, which have beneficial properties. It can help itchy dogs and horses and great for sensitive skin.
How do I use it?
A very wet coat is essential, so really get your dog really wet and rub directly onto the coat, use the bar itself to scrub. Get deep into the coat and pay attention to any stains. It will lather up quickly. Rinse well, until the water runs clear – and you are done! Towel off your dog or use a drying coat.
Can I use it on myself?
You can if you want to! However it does not have the necessary safety assessments for me to sell it for human use – that does not mean it is not safe but there are different soap recipes out there that I much prefer for human soaps that are far more luxurious on our skin.
How long does it last?
As a guide a 100g bar will bath 5 westie sized dogs.
How do I keep it between baths?
Allow it to dry out between baths, Hang up soaps on a rope, in an area that will be away from the elements to keep it dry, For the 100g soaps store these in a soap dish which allows it to dry. keep spare bars in a cool, dry place.
What is the shelf life?
Unlike us, your soap will get better and better with age, the longer you keep it the harder it will get and the longer it lasts. Because I use natural essential oils the outer scent will fade over time but as the bar is used the oils within are released. I have used soap that is well over 12 months old and it foams as beautifully as when it was first made, coconut oil has a lengthy shelf life meaning your soap will not go rancid within this period of time.
Which soap is best for my dog’s coat type?
All the soaps have the same base recipe, so the answer is any or all. whichever scent is your personal preference will be fabulous
Can I use it on different dogs?
Yes you can – give it a good rinse between dogs for hygiene. You can also put it in a UV steriliser if you are a dog groomer and have one. If you have any concerns then cut your soap up – one bit for bums. One bit for faces – you get the picture.
Can I use it on Poodles and cockerpoos?
Generally no – unless they are kept short. Cockerpoos and other poo crosses have quite specific coat care needs, they really do need a little more tlc and a conditioning product which sadly is not possible in soap bar.
Can I use it on cats?
Most essential oils are toxic to cats so please don’t use our soaps on cats
Is it safe for my Horse or Dog to lick themselves if they have been bathed with it?
Yes – It is all-natural ingredients that are safe if your legged friend decided to have a lick of themselves or the bar, although I wouldn’t recommend them trying to eat it.
Why is it luxury?
Our soaps are only made from the highest quality plant ingredients and the essential oils are a real luxury treatment. It really is like a Dog or Horse spa treatment using this soap, add a sisal wash mitt massage in there and they will be in dog or horse heaven. Also, the fact it is handmade means that every care and detail has gone into making it a luxury product for your horse or dog and let’s face it they are worth it.
How are your products tested?
At Chester & Cooke we love to be eco-friendly and look after our environment and we care about the welfare of animals this is why our products are only tested on humans and completely cruelty free.
