Hi Lisa

Do you still make the dog shampoo soap?

Dog soap shampoo would be good, you do not need to squirt it but rub it on in places and then wrinse off, sounds good, especilay if it had elements of flea repellant such as Lavender in it!!! :)

Now wouldn't that be good. Lavender to calm the animal and tea tree to help repell beasties. now I need to go and look at my natural animal fly repellants so I can tell Lisa the mixture of oils it has in it.

I have made some doggie shampoo but never marketted it.  It is a solid bar made with soothing lavender and insect repelling citronella. Both natural essential oils. Its not strongly scented so that the dog smells too much after.
Was going to test it on my goats  ;)

No worries Sandy  :)  it has been tested on a few local dogs and the owners said it was good but I don't have dogs so have been waiting for hot weather to try it on the goats. having said that, I did the goats with cattle shampoo other day without thinking so better use this one next time!

I can send you a sample - you could let me know then. I could market it the soap as 'animal shampoo' rather than dog if it does x

you know me I'll give anything a try and because your soap is so good I can't see it being a problem with him anyway

Would definately be interested in it. I have a lab who does get scuffy skin on her back end occassionaly so something moisurising would also be good. would oatmeal work?

 I also thought I could try it on my pigs as they pee in their wallow and then get in it!!

I would also be interested in a lip balm are you still making it?

could you  message me your postal addresses please (ellisR I know I have yours somewhere but would be quicker to get it again, you know how organised I am...not... :)   )
I'll send you all a sample, you can let me know your thoughts (sandy, ellisr, eastling)

lip-balm, been a few labelling hicupps which is a pain. the lipbalms are fine and have been given the thumbs up by the people who tried them but can't sell until I sort out appropriate labels to fit the diddy little tubs, grrr. am also looking for someone in the locality (about 2 miles radius from here) who makes beeswax so I can source as local as possible x

Plums - when it's been tested don't forget to post when they are available for sale.  Sounds great.
