dogs, THEY’RE JUST LIKE US…at least as far as self-care is concerned. The concept of holistic petcare and wellness for our tried and true companions is not a new one. However, as the human health-and-wellness scene has exploded over the five-to-seven years, so too has self-care for pets, where owners are being given access to modalities, products, and services that tend to our animal’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
With owners saying, “If it’s good enough for me, then it’s good enough for them,” there’s been a higher demand for natural, chemical-free pet hygiene products, whole-ingredient, well-sourced nutrition, and thoughtful supplementation to not only improve longevity, but overall quality of life as well. We caught wind of some pretty woof-worthy products out there to help you uplevel your dog’s self-care ritual starting…tomorrow. Make no bones about it (last dog pun, we promise!).
FLOOF SOOTHING CREAM | Formulated alongside a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologist, Floof’s Soothing Cream has all-star, natural ingredients that even we would use in our daily skincare regimens. With a nourishing lend of almond, coconut, and jojoba oil, as well as mango butter and calendula, this moisturizing cream is the ultimate go-to for dry paw pads, rough nose patches, and other dry or irritated areas. And don’t worry about any incessant licking. This formula is specifically fragrance-free.
CLEO&HOOMAN ZOOMIE WIPES | We’re big suckers for cute packaging, but we’re even bigger suckers for cute packaging that holds within it really effective, thoughtful products for our furry BFFs. Cleo&Hooman’s Zoomie Wipes (like, how cute is this name though) are as gentle for your dog’s body, muzzle, paws, and behind as they are for the environment. These single-use, antibacterial wipes manage to give your pup a quick refresh without any harsh cleansers or pH-disrupting ingredients. Whether your dog is on the go or just likes to run through mud and dirty from time to time, these soothing wipes are serving “spaw day realness” no matter what they’re getting into.
DANDYLION CLEAN PAWS CLEANSER | If you’re a dog owner, then you know that cleansing of any kind cannot be a drawn-out process—especially when it concerns your pet’s paws. Dandylion’s Clean Paws Cleanser is all about cleaning dirty paws in an instant with a no-rinse foaming wash. Not only is the formulation chalk-full of natural, plant-based ingredients like aloe juice, pomegranate juice, broccoli seed and grape seed oil so as to not strip your dog’s paws of its natural oils, but it also comes in a one-and-done bristle delivery system that is compact enough to fit in your go-bag. You’ll almost look at it like its your very own pupcessory.
WILD ONE RINSELESS SHAMPOO | Remember that whole “in an instant” concept? Well, Wild One’s Rinseless Shampoo is taking on-the-go cleansing to a whole other level. This waterless shampoo is the ideal solution to keep your pet groom-level fresh between washes. It’s hypoallergenic, paraben and sulfate-free, and all you have to do is spray your dog’s coat from head to toe, let it dry, then gently rub it in or brush it through for a full “Maybe they’re born with it, maybe it’s rinseless shampoo” look.
PETLAB CO. DENTAL FORMULA | While the eyes are the window to one’s soul, the mouth is the window to one’s health—and the same is true for our pets. However, unlike people, who (hopefully) are brushing their teeth twice per day, our pets’ oral health is usually an afterthought, where a yearly dental cleaning is the only kind of dental care occurring. Over time, this can lead to some serious chronic health issues. Petlab Co.’s Dental Formula is hoping to change all that with an insanely easy daily liquid formula that can be administered by mixing it with 8oz of water so as to tackle hard-to-reach tartar build up and bad breath.
FERA PETS CALM GOAT MILK TOPPER | We’ve been in love with Fera Pets for a while now with their completely holistic, vet-driven approach to petcare. Their Goat Milk CALM Topper is one of their newer additions that is perfect for delivering essential nutrients to potentially picky eaters or nervous Nellies. This flavorful formula contains natural, central nervous system-soothing herbs and amino acids like GABA, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and passion flower that helps to support pets’ general anxiety over time. Given that all of their products are third-party tested, you might be tempted to use it for yourself (but please don’t).
DOG BY DR. LISA SPRING COLOGNE | Spring has almost sprung, so there’s no reason your dog’s odeur can’t be in season. DOG by Dr. Lisa (we’re obsessed with the name) is a beautifully natural, essential oil-based spray that is gentle for your dog’s nose and pleasant for yours. With ingredients like lavender, orange peel, geranium, rose flower water, almond oil, and aloe vera leaf juice, the Spring Cologne is soothing, moisturizing, and mood-boosting without relying on any artificial fragrance or irritants whatsoever.
