Grooming
What's Wrong With The Way We're Grooming?
Although your pet may smell amazing once they are out of the bath or back from the groomers, there are some cons. Many of our pets grooming products have ingredients that are suspected carcinogens, irritants, and hormone disrupters. Animals can absorb these toxins through their skin and as they lick themselves clean. Do you really want to introduce these chemicals to them?
Chemical based grooming products are also impactful to the environment. Petroleum products that are washed down drains can hurt marine ecosystems and pollute drinking water sources.
How Can We Improve?
When it comes to purchasing grooming products for your pets its best to look for the following:
• Biodegradable formulas that won't harm waterways and wildelife
• Products free of synthetic fragrances and parabens
• Organic oils
• Guar gum and citric acid
• Vegan
• Recylable or compostable packaging
Some important things you should keep an eye out for as some of the worst chemicals to harm the environment used in pet care are BHA, DEA, SLS, and Synthetic Colors and Fragerances.
