A dog mud bath is more than just relaxing in the mud; it's an investment in your dog’s health and happiness. Adding a dog mud bath to your pet’s routine can be a big step towards supporting their health, ensuring that your four-legged family member has a life as joyful and fulfilling as their muddy grins suggest.

Are Mud Baths Good for Dogs?

As our knowledge about pet health grows, so does our desire to give them the best. Dog mud baths are beneficial for dogs for various reasons. Owners can choose from coconut blends that detoxify, green mud that reduces itchiness, or mango-enriched combinations that hydrate. 

Here are the benefits of dog mud baths:

Eases aching muscles and joints

Our Mobility Mud dog mud bath is formulated with peppermint and menthol for penetrating pain relief and a cooling sensation. This all-natural skin cleanser is enhanced with cold therapy to ease aching muscles and joints and stop itching. The Mobility Mud bath relieves muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and improves circulation. It's the perfect treatment for active or older dogs with muscle aches and pains caused by inflammation.

Quickly stops the itch

Our Mobility Mud and Green Mud dog bath helps relieve your dog's itchiness. The peppermint in our mobility mud and the seaweed and kelp in our green mud dog bath are the key players. The Green Mud is excellent for dogs who always seem to be scratching or are known to have skin allergies. 

Strong and healthy skin

Not getting enough of certain nutrients, like beta carotene, can make your dog’s skin less resistant, causing it to become dry, flaky, and dull. Our Mango Mud Bath is packed with high levels of Vitamin A, C, E, beta carotene, and antioxidants. Your dog’s skin will be rejuvenated, leaving their skin clean, fresh, hydrated, and protected. 

Removing unwanted smells

Our Coconut Mud Bath is a multi-beneficial powerhouse bath! This is for dogs who need a little bit of everything. If you want to strengthen your dog’s skin with minerals and lipids while simultaneously detoxifying and removing excess fur and smells, our Coconut Mud Bath is the perfect option. Our formula smells of summer, mixed with coconut oil and dehydrated coconut milk powder, leaving the skin hydrated and coat silky and shiny.  Dog mud baths provide essential minerals that detoxify the skin while eliminating foul odors, impurities, and toxins.

Helps with shedding

Mud baths help control shedding by removing dead and dry skin. It’s a great idea to exfoliate and moisturize your dog’s skin once a month, especially when it comes to shedding season. When you massage the mud into your dog’s skin, the omegas and essential oils start to act, and they continue to do so even after the treatment is over. These oils are effective because they purge pollutants from your dog’s body, are relaxing, and possess antiseptic and antibacterial qualities. They also leave behind a wonderful smell that lingers for several days!
