Ashton: Oh, boy, Newton.
Newton: What are you doing back there?
Ashton: You’ve got a dingleberry back here. You better not sit on the bed like this or you’re going to be in trouble.
Newton: This is so embarrassing.
Part of having plush fur like Newton means that sometimes dingleberries hang on while he’s taking care of his business in the litter box. And Newton is right, dingleberries can be really embarrassing, not to mention messy if they make it to the furniture.
That means when you see a dingleberry, you’d better take action to clean it up in a hurry.
That’s where earthbath tushy wipes come in.
Before nice people at earthbath sent earthbath tushy wipes for review, I always reached for a baby wipe when there was a dingleberry alert in the house. But products made for babies aren’t meant for cats. For something to be safe for a baby, there are different considerations than there are for cats. Babies don’t lick themselves all over, after all.
So I was pretty excited that instead of being a baby wipe, earthbath tushy wipes are intended for use on pets. They’re safe, and they don’t have a bunch of scary-sounding, unpronounceable chemicals in them. The baby wipes I had in the house included ingredients which can irritate skin and even cause carcinogenic effects with long-term use. I don’t want Newton licking a chemical like that!
I didn’t have to worry about Newton grooming his fur after I used the earthbath wipes to clean up his dingleberry. The most unpronounceable chemical in the wipes is saccharomyces ferment filtrate, a type of yeast that helps neutralize unpleasant odors.
Also unlike thin baby wipes, earthbath wipes are thick and textured, so your fingers are safe from the dingleberries when you’re cleaning them off.
Newton: Look, everyone! No dingleberries! Thanks, earthbath!

I could use these! If I’ve recently had a bath, my human only gives me a wipe down for my therapy visits, and she has been using baby wipes.
Hannah sometimes get wipes when her fur gets yucky!
What will they think of next? 🙂
Those sound terrific! Some here often battle the Klingons too!
I never thought about the dangers of using baby wipes. On the rare occasion Bear needs “help” … it’s a struggle and a half to finish the job. Newton, you are one handsome floofy mancat!

Ashton is a loving and loyal sibling to check on the dingleberry status!!
It is good to know about the wipes…thus far I have never needed them
Hugs madi your bfff
Hilarious!! Cody doesn’t have “dingleberries” but my Angel Bobo used to quite often! Hilarious!
Dingleberries, LOL! Our Buster has that always, so dad gets to wipe him all the time.
MOL love the photos and Newton Annabelle has the same problem from time to time.
Hey, now here’s a product we can get behind. (See what we did there? Behind, tushy wipes, get it? Got it.) But really, we know a certain floofy ginger girl who occasionally has, um, things dingle-dangling back there. This sounds perfect for her! Good review!
That sounds great ! We like that there are not tons of chemical stuff in it ! Purrs
Eric used to get dingleberries, but I don’t get that problem. Your tushy looks sparkling, Newton.
Those wipes would come in handy! You gotta keep a clean bum, after all.
Those are great! My Angel Tara was the Queen of the Dingleberry…I’d try to catch her in the bathroom to wipe her off before she got onto the furniture. (Oh, the language that would flow from her lips!)
Mudpie has gotten quite furry “down there” lately but so far, so good 😉
Whoa! Autumn could have used those. She was a kinda long-haired domestic cat. Sometimes Gramma used to have to clean the sheets twice a day. The main problem with Autumn was she was too fat to be able to clean herself. With TW took her in, she put her on a diet and no more dingleberries.
Newton, we thought that’s why we have siblings!
We know about these, my hubby calls them wind chimes. Snowball had to go to the vet for a sanitary shave yesterday.
I occasionally have that problem, but we call them cling-ons.
Before i bit all my fur off, mom used to trim my furs back there. I’m getting furry again, so mom will have to check out this product.
those would be good for foster kittens 🙂
