Developed by a veterinarian as a healthier alternative to dog shampoo.
Anyone who has ever been in a Japanese hot spring will know how wonderful it can feel, not only because of the warmth of the water, but also because of all the minerals that are good for the skin. It’s a luxurious feeling that everyone should enjoy, and now there’s a way for dogs to experience it too, thanks to a new product called “Inu no Onsen” (“Dog Onsen“).
Developed by a veterinarian with experience in creating pet care products, this bathing product is super easy to use. Simply add 15–20 grams (0.5–0.7 ounces) of product to 50 liters (13.2 gallons) of lukewarm water (about 36 degrees Celsius), then gently massage your dog’s entire body with the healing bath water for about five minutes. The product can also be used for smaller baths, with about five grams per five liters of lukewarm water recommended.
The product contains sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulfateAnd Sodium citratefound in hot springs used by humans. The mixture contains no harmful substances and is food-safe, so you don’t have to worry about your puppy licking himself or swallowing the water during bathing.
In fact, the product is said to be better for puppies than dog shampoo, as frequent shampooing weakens the skin barrier. This product has a milder formula and can therefore be used regularly, even on dogs with sensitive skin, which is especially important in summer when puppies need more care to keep their skin healthy and prevent it from becoming a breeding ground for bacteria during the humid months.
▼ In addition, the pretty packaging has a retro touch that matches the flair of many onsen towns, making it a popular souvenir.
It’s a great way to share your love of onsen bathing with your four-legged friend. Because if capybaras can enjoy hot spring baths, your pampered four-legged friend should be able to, too!
