Product Overview
Does your loyal companion suffer from dry, itchy skin? This natural dog shampoo bar is made with nourishing organic plant oils and enriched with shea butter to add shine as they moisturize, clean, and nourish your dog’s skin and coat.
The oat flour, honey, and cornstarch help soothe itchy, irritated, inflamed, and dry skin. Honey revitalizes the coat, adds shine and acts as a natural sealant.
Rich in nourishing fatty acids, Coconut Oil has natural emollient properties that help maintain a soft, silky, shiny, and healthy coat. When applied topically, the oil is readily absorbed into the skin, providing deep hydration and creating a protective layer for dry and itchy skin. Moisturizing Shea Butter is especially beneficial for dogs with dry, irritated skin.
The Essential oil blend has soothing proprieties and includes tea tree, lemongrass, and peppermint oils which can help repel fleas and ticks.

How To Use
Using a bar of soap to wash your dog is much simpler and less messy than using liquid soap. The perfect size bar fits in the palm of your hand for easier use.
- Thoroughly wet your dog with warm water
- Rub the bar on your dog's wet coat and use your fingers to create a rich, creamy lather. If necessary, put more water on the dog to create lather.
- Working from head to tail, carefully avoiding eyes, massage the natural shampoo deep into the coat on the body, belly, neck and feet.
- Rinse thoroughly to prevent dried soapy hair.
- Repeat if your dog is really dirty, but one wash is usually enough.
- Rub the coat down with a clean, dry towel.
When finished bathing your dog, allow the bar to dry out completed and then store it back in its box until the next bath time.
Tip: Apply a bit of shampoo to a small cotton face pad (I use this one) and use it to gently wipe that grimy area around the snout and under the eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why We Use Stutzman Farms' Oat Products
Our Local Grain Partner
Stutzman Farms
Nestled in the heart of Ohio’s Amish country, Stutzman Farms is located in Millersburg, within the rolling farmland of Holmes County. The farm is run by Monroe Stutzman, who grows and mills organic grains using traditional, time-honored methods that prioritize quality, integrity, and care.
Stutzman Farms focuses on local, organic farming and operates an on-site stone mill. Their grains are never bleached and never treated with bromate or preservatives—just clean, thoughtfully grown food processed with respect for the ingredient and the people who use it.
Many of their customers follow gluten-free or alternative grain diets, and the farm is well known for its sprouted rolled oats and spelt flour. Monroe also uses a fascinating piece of equipment called a “puffer,” which gently puffs grains like rice and corn—products that are then lightly sweetened and sold throughout Ohio.
The Stutzman family’s commitment to craftsmanship extends beyond grains. Monroe’s brother, Arlie Stutzman, operates "Ice Shanty Cheese", producing cheese made from 100% grass-fed cow’s milk—another example of the family’s dedication to traditional methods and responsible agriculture.
Why This Matters to Us
At Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve, we believe small businesses are the backbone of our communities. Local farmers and makers bring deep expertise to their craft, take pride in their work, and understand the value of doing things right—even when it takes more time and effort.
By sourcing our organic oats from Stutzman Farms, we support a farming family that shares our values: transparency, sustainability, and respect for both people and the land. It’s one more way we stay connected to our ingredients—and to the community that helps make our products possible.
