Guide Review - TropiClean Berry Clean Pet Shampoo

Effectiveness:

There is nothing that could make TropiClean Berry Clean Pet Shampoo any better. It works, just as you'd expect any pet shampoo to, but what sets this pet shampoo apart from the rest is just how well it works. Whether your pet is long or short-haired, Berry Clean will give your cat or dog a clean, shiny coat that smells great.

Aside from all the measures TropiClean has taken to make Berry Clean an eco-friendly product, we were most impressed with the added benefits of using this pet shampoo. Not only can it be used for both cats and dogs, the soap-free formula won't impact Spot-on flea products. It also deodorizes, and leaves your pet smelling ever so pleasant.

Our one recommendation to consumers is that you pair this product with a moisturizing conditioner, especially if you and your pet live in a dryer climate. But you'd probably do that anyway, right?

Green Factor:

Tropiclean has done more than change the bottle of its product and claim it's green.

TropiClean has become the first U.S. pet supply company to develope a line of 100% biodegradable packaging. The entire line of TropiClean pet shampoos is packaged in bottles made from either 50% recycled materials or Ingeo®, a natural, renewable biopolymer (made from corn, not oil). The plastic sleeves of these products is also made entirely of Ingeo.

TropiClean's Berry Clean is made from 70% organic materials. While these ingredients aren't USDA certified organic, we're still impressed with the variety of natural extracts and the fact that we can pronounce them all.

Ingredients:

Water (Aqua), Organic Blend of [Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Extract, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Fuit Extract], Mild Coconut Cleanser, Protein, Parfum/Fragrance, Vitamin E.
