If you have been following us long enough, you have seen the story of 
how we got started in the soap business. Our dog Franklyn was killed by the harmful pesticides in chemical flea treatments. You can read the whole story here. Because of this, I used my Chemistry knowledge to create a soap that will combat fleas, and we named it after Franklyn. Made with Eucalyptus and Tea Tree essential oils, Franklyn’s soap will kill fleas. We also have developed a three step process that will keep your dog from getting future fleas. You can read about this process here and purchase all the materials needs to get rid of fleas.
These are some of the most frequently asked questions we get. Hopefully, this post has helped answer some of your questions. You can order any of these soaps on our website, or find us at the Carolina Beach Farmer’s Market on Saturday and the Poplar Grove Farmer’s Market on Wednesday.
