Anyone who has ever bathed in a Japanese hot spring knows how wonderful it can feel, not only because of the warmth of the water, but also because of all the minerals that benefit the skin. It’s a luxurious feeling that everyone should enjoy, and now dogs can experience it too, thanks to a new product called “Inu no Onsen” (“Dog Onsen”).
This bathing product was developed by a veterinarian with experience in the manufacture of pet care products and is super easy to use. Simply add 15-20 grams of the product to 50 liters of lukewarm water (approximately 36 degrees Celsius) and 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 being recommended.
The product contains sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulfate and sodium citrate, which are found in hot springs used by humans. The mixture contains no harmful substances and is completely food-safe, so you don’t have to worry about your puppy licking himself or swallowing the water while 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.
Dog’s Onsen is available at numerous outlets, including pet-friendly accommodations, rest areas, souvenir shops, convenience stores, cafes, pet shops, dog walking areas, veterinary clinics and pet grooming salons.
It can also be purchased on-linewith prices starting at 660 yen for a single 50-gram bag, and there is even the option to buy a “starter set” that comes with a Subscribe Towel and rubber duck for 880 yen.
It’s a wonderful way to share your love of onsen bathing with your four-legged friend.
