If you are a fan of dogs and coffee, there is actually an interesting new product that merges the best of both worlds. PetSpresso is the new dog shampoo with actual coffee grounds and organic ingredients that neutralizes stubborn odors and leaves your dog smelling wonderful.
Neutralize Odors
The first thing that PetSpresso does is use real coffee grounds to neutralize stubborn dog odors. We all know that it can be difficult to keep your dog smelling fresh, especially if they have a tendency to roll in unmentionable substances in the yard. This is quite normal for a dog, but you can do your part to neutralize bad odors by using the benefits of coffee grounds. Coffee grounds in their raw form work to neutralize odors effectively, and they can also be placed in a bowl in your refrigerator or freezer to cut out stubborn smells. Who knew?
Even better, real coffee grounds provide antioxidant protection to the human skin, as well as a dog's coat. Many people do not realize how important it is to care for their dogs coat as well as they would their own skin, and when neglected, dogs can often suffer from itching, flaking, and irritation. Coffee grounds offer several benefits in that they have antioxidants to protect the dog's coat from outside free radical damage. Free radical damage can come from a number of outside sources, like sun exposure, pollution, and stress. If this is not treated, free radical damage will cause disease and premature aging, which is why it is necessary to use topical antioxidants to protect your dog's coat.
Exfoliate
Real coffee grounds in PetSpresso will also exfoliate your dog's coat to remove dry and dead skin. This is very important because many people will exfoliate their own skin so that it stays balanced and fresh. In the same manner, your dog's coat needs to be exfoliated with a gentle ingredient to remove dead skin, which will cut down on dryness, itching, and flaking the next time that you pet your pooch.
Organic Ingredients
Best of all, PetSpresso contains natural and organic ingredients besides coffee grounds, like grape seed oil, natural vitamin E, jojoba oil, and 100% aloe vera gel. This is highly important because many of the common over-the-counter pet care products contain harsh chemicals that will irritate or even harm your dog's coat. PetSpresso instead has natural ingredients that will soothe and moisturize your dog's coat to cut down on dryness and itching.
Of course, all of these ingredients are entirely safe for your beloved pet, and although coffee is toxic for your dog to drink, this dog shampoo poses no danger using coffee grounds as an ingredient. It is important that your dog does not eat the shampoo or drink the bathwater, but when you compare this to the fact that your dog also should not eat any chemical dog shampoo, it would be much safer for them to have a small amount of caffeine in their system if they were to accidentally drink bathwater containing PetSpresso as opposed to drinking bathwater containing chemical dog shampoo. For any concerns, please consult with your vet immediately, and enjoy PetSpresso to neutralize stubborn dog odors!
