Hi Connie, to let you know your excellent product arrived today, and thanks for the time u spent with the enclosed note. I have been using your product for some time now as has my friend and we are as one as to the benefits and quality of the dog soap you sell.

I have created a folder to store your details for next time. Cheers & regards Jeff M

By all means Connie you can use my comments. I have in the past used shampoos available from  pet establishments but once I tried your soap I have used nothing else on Rosie a shih Tzu x, her coat shines after a bath and remains that way for quite a while after accompanied by a wonderful natural odour . My friend who has a whippet also uses your soap and is of the same opinion as me. Cheers Jeff

Hi Connie , thanks for your email & your concern that the soap will arrive ok. I assure u the soap will get to me at the address u have, again thanks for double checking. As to your product, I first bought  it for myself & a friend from a lady at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital markets and I and my dog rosie just love it, her coat comes up so fresh and smells wonderful, but I don’t seem to get to RPAH markets as much and I am now down to my last bit so I need more. Take care Jeff

i have been using the mans best friend soap every 2 days for the past week on my kelpie x staffie gypsy,who had developed a yeast infection and had red hot itchy paws and greasy musty smelling coat.it has helped enormously with the irritated skin she has been scratching at till it bleeds.i have also added omega 3s to her diet,probiotics and a vitamin and mineral supplement.i have also been giving her coat a light dusting with an organic aluminium free bi carb soda.it is the strongest anti fungal on the planet and helps kill the yeast infection rather quickly.but this routine must be followed for over a month to completely wipe out the yeast.gypsy has always had a raw meat diet.but she was also having grain kibble which i have now switched to a grain free variety.i will continue with the extra supplements i have now added to her diet.

By the way, Maxie says thank you for his soap, which is helping a lot!

Hi Connie, My name is Maryann I have purchased 4 blocks of your fantastic soap so far . My dog Rosie who is an English Staffie has bad allergy issues to the extent where she has allergy injections every fortnight which we have to administer to her.  Also on cortisone twice weekly. We have been using sensitive skin shampoo called (PAW) which we purchase from the vet. Using this shampoo she was still scratching  but using your soap (she has had 3 baths) and only scratched once:)  I think we have hit the jackpot with your soap. She also smells amazing for days after. Our Rosie sleeps with us and we are both at home with her now so we can keep an eye on her. She means the world to us.  Her next dermatology appointment is in August and I cannot wait to tell the girls at the clinic about the soap.  Will definitely keep you updated .  Cheers Maryann Peter & Rosie:)

Hi Connie Thank you so much for mailing the soap so promptly.  I just wanted to let you know that the reason I ordered the soap was due to the fact that my Naturopath kindly purchased one for us a few months ago & I just love the quality & the smell is wonderful & thought you may appreciate the feedback as requested.  It really is a great product so thank you!!!

“Dear Connie, I don’t know if this message counts as a testimonial but nonetheless I shall still tell you that my prayers are answered! I am awed by the amazing effects this wonderful product has on my 4 dogs. Their coats are noticeably softer, smell great even till today (that’s already 6 days since their last bath) and the best thing is that they have reduced all the self biting and scratching  which have been plaguing them when I used other brands of shampoo.

“Hi there just wondering if you could make something up for my English Bull Terrier’s rash it’s all over his tummy and neck he is losing fur the only thing that kinda of helps is the soap I purchase from you his rash is caused by the grass I think I would really appreciate your help as vets want to put him down and I won’t have that if you would like me to email you pics of his rash I can thanks heaps Alexandra” A Gordon, Canberra, Australia, 6th February 2013 (shared on email)

” Hi Connie, Thanks for your email. Mr Mango seems to be picking up, and Dad was very impressed with the soap. We have had him on the raw meat diet, but I doubt Dad has been adding any olive oil or such to his food. There is still hope for the old boy yet! We were overwhelmed with relief when we saw that he could make it, because Dad had already prepared for the worst and was so upset.  We dont believe it is necessarily cancer as the vet said (not his usual vet). We think it looks more like an allergic reaction, so the soap is really helping.” Cloe Palmer, Canberra, Australia, 1st February 2013 (shared on email)

“BTW I clipped a Maltese/shitzu named Oscar today who is one of my regulars. Oscar is fairly old and has a bit of a skin condition which includes flaking skin and has a lot of stains on the side of his legs and paws from chewing and licking them. Last couple of appointments I used your soap to wash him and today I really noticed the difference as the staining had really lightened up and where was very little flaking skin. I mentioned it to the owner and he said Oscar doen’t chew on his legs/paws as much as he use to.” Chris S, Pet Groomer, Canberra, Australia, 10th December 2012 (shared on Facebook )

“Hi Connie, Tried the soap on my 3 dogs, works on 2 of them. One was allergic to it as she developed pimple-liked rashes on it. Brought her to the vet and vet says she is the minority who might be allergic to the ingredient. Fur felt smoother for the 2 dog and scratching reduces =)) CHEERS” Cindy Tan, Singapore, 27 July 2012 (shared through Facebook) A subsequent follow up by Cindy Tan, Singapore, 5th October 2012 (shared through Facebook): Hi Connie, Yep I received sample of goat milk soap. Tried it on my dog’s tail, no allergic this time =)) By the way, ever since the previous allergic… her fur starts to grow back (she was botak i.e. bald previously and her fur can’t seems to grow) amazing isn’t it? CHEERS

Hello,

My name is Paul and I work for the New Zealand Customs Detector Dog Section. We were shown your soap through a friend of ours in Australia and they recommended your Man Best friend Medicated Dog Soap so we tried it and it is fantastic. We are trying to get some more and we were wondering how we can get it. Do you sell it anywhere in New Zealand? Or is it easier to get some shipped to New Zealand? Also I see that another company called the House of Carteret is selling the same or a similar product. Is this the same soap? Regards, Paul.” [Note: We are an online retailer of the Man’s Best Friend Medicated Soap that ships worldwide. Elsa Robyn is the soap-maker of Man’s Best Friend Medicated Soap based in New South Wales, Australia.

“Hi Connie, *I like the soap, and would recommend it to people, except I had a hard time keeping it; can you design a soap box that be used as a soap container? **Lost smells good after the use of the soap, don’t see a lot of effect to the yeast problem (there is no degeneration or improvement), I am not sure if there will be improvement over extended use.” Josiah Han, Singapore, Owner of K9 Kulture, 30th August 2012 (shared through Facebook) [* To keep the soap, store it in a cling/ plastic wrapper or store it in a clean soap box. ** As Lost was an abandoned Golden Retreiver with severe and chronic yeast infection all over her body, we have suggested Josiah bath Lost and rub the Man’s Best Friend Medicated Soap all over the affected areas and massage the soap with essential oils in before washing it off.  Our recommendation is to do it every other day for  at least a week or two to be able to see some improvements for Lost’s skin. We have also recommended another essential oil remedy for intensive treatment of its fungal and yeast infection. See recipe here.]

“When I heard about this soap that Connie shared on the Mdm Wong’s Shelter Facebook(in Singapore) I was so keen to get the soap for my friend’s dog which she has temporary placed it in my house. His skin is in bad condition and the body odor smell so badly that fill my house with the smell. Connie is so nice to get some soap for me from Australia and trusting this soap will help the dog -Jewel. I bath him only once this week and his body odor smell is gone from my house. This is a good start for Jewel, believe this soap will help him to recover from his skin problem. And I have also add some Olive oil into his food as suggested by Connie. Hopefully Jewel will improve in his skin problem. Thank you Connie for recommendation. Hope everyone will support Connie in this business so that every $1 will goes to the Dog Shelter that most needed now! If this Medicated Soap can really help to solve your dog Skin issues why not give a try!” Irene Lim, Singapore, 12 July 2012 (shared under comments in this website)
