Moderate Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Pets are even more vulnerable to chemical exposure than humans. Dogs and cats spend more time on floors (where chemicals settle), groom themselves (ingesting whatever is on their fur), and have faster metabolisms that concentrate toxins. Conventional pet products — food bowls, toys, flea treatments, and grooming products — are often made with the same toxic chemicals found in human products, with even less regulatory oversight.

Why We Recommend This Product

Earthbath's natural formula is a significant improvement over conventional pet shampoos that contain the same synthetic chemicals as conventional human shampoos. Pets groom themselves after bathing, so what's on their fur ends up in their mouths.
