Show your dog extra love with Rufus and Coco

This is a sponsored post in partnership with Rufus & Coco. All thoughts and opinions are mine. We have a beautiful yellow lab named Jake that we have raised from a small puppy of 6 weeks old. He is one of my kids and loves being around his family and playing with his “pets” (my kids). He doesn’t realize that he is a dog, and will quite often be in the middle of everything we are doing, trying to see what is going on. We love him to pieces, and so we want to take the that we can.

RUFUS AND COCO FOR THE WIN

We were recently introduced to Rufus and CoCo. They make a line of dog and puppy washes and sprays. We have been using these over the last couple of weeks and we are absolutely in love with the results we have seen so far. Our dog not only smells better but his coat has improved in softness and it shines like a star. We used the 2in1 Oatmeal Wash for Jake’s first bath with the washes and I have to tell you how impressed I am with how well it cleaned him and how soft he was after. My oldest daughter, who was helping me wash him, said “WOW! That is the softest he has ever been”.

FACTS ABOUT SHAMPOOS:

We love our puppy so much and want the very best for him. Since he lives in the house with us, I also want him clean and smelling good. This means weekly baths for our big boy. Here is some information that I recently learned that I wanted to share because it is super helpful. Did you know that human shampoo is no good for pooches! Yup, this includes “gentle” or “baby” shampoo. Here’s why:

Human skin is 10 to 15 cells thick, but a dog’s skin is only 3 to 5 cells thick, making it much more sensitive to acidic ingredients.
Shampoos made for humans—even human babies—can contain ingredients that make them as much as 200 times too acidic for dogs’ skin!

Check your bottles of shampoo at home and you’ll likely find that they contain one or more of the following:

Sulfates—which make shampoos foam up but strip hair of natural oils and irritate the skin
Parabens—preservatives that have been found in breast cancer tumors
Fragrance—which makes a product smell nice, but irritates skin (especially dog skin)

This is why Rufus & Coco dog-grooming products contain no harmful ingredients and are specifically pH-balanced for dogs’ sensitive skin. They know how much pet owners love their dogs, yet not everyone is aware of these dangers to their beloved four-legged family member.
