Why We're Choosing Natural Ingredients For Our Pet Products
Why Natural Ingredients?
Just as you wouldn't use harsh chemicals on a newborn baby, you should also avoid chemical-based pet care products on your fur babies. As part of the family, keeping them away from chemicals and toxins will help them live a longer happier life. Did you know that the grooming products you apply to your pet’s coat and paws can also be absorbed into their blood stream through their skin and breathing into their lungs? Let’s look at the importance of choosing the right ingredients in grooming products for a healthy pet.
5 HARMFUL INGREDIENTS YOU SHOULD AVOID
- Sulfates
These are widely used in common human and pet shampoos as surfactants and create a rich lather that many people associate with efficacy. However, these ingredients are harsh on the skin and coat and are believed to be absorbed into the internal organs where they tend to stay for up to one week.
- Artificial fragrances & phthalates
These are often petroleum based and are used because they are cheap and plentiful. Phthalates are known to be hormone disruptors that can lead to reproductive cancers in pets and humans.
- Artificial dyes or colorants
These dyes are made from cheap ingredients that can be made from coal tar, and may contain heavy metal salts such as arsenic and lead. They can also irritate and inflame the skin and cause allergies and breakouts, including hot spots.
- Parabens
Parabens penetrate the skin and cause certain cancer, tumor and reproductive issues. Parabens are also bad for the environment.
- Mineral oils
Mineral oil is petroleum-based and can clog pores and inhibit skin respiration. It also interferes with the ability of your pet's skin to produce their own natural oils.
What are the main benefits your beloved fur baby will experience after using natural pet care products?
- Fewer allergies and adverse reactions
- Better immune system
- Healthier skin and coat
- Longer lifespan
- Faster healing
- Cruelty-free
- Doesn’t cause cancer
- Reduced risk of skin irritation
And we can’t forget the positive environmental impact using natural products is for our oceans, rivers and soil. Not to mention, your fur babies interacting with your children and avoiding those toxins close to your family.
