So you’ve purged your pantry of unnatural and overly processed foods and decided to opt for organic, natural items. You’ve switched out your shampoos and soaps for chemical-free alternatives. But there is another major category of products in your household that could probably use a makeover”” and it has to do with your furry friends!

Just like people products, many items made for animals are full of potentially harmful chemicals. In fact, countless popular dog and cat foods contain mysterious by-products, fillers and other synthetic ingredients that can actually deprive your pet of proper nutrition. Luckily, there are organic, natural alternatives that can give your dog or cat essential levels of vitamins, minerals, protein and other nutrients to help support healthy skin, digestion, immune response, energy levels and so much more.

When it comes time to clean your furry companion, remember that your pet’s skin can be even more sensitive than a baby’s. Some soaps and cleansers may be too harsh and can strip away natural oils. Instead, opt for chemical-free, natural shampoos, dips, sprays and wipes, to ensure that your pet stays clean.

Natural pet products can keep pets happy and healthy — to ensure those tails are wagging for years and years to come!
