Having a furry best friend is such a joy in life. Dogs really do bring us so much joy and happiness. But, if you are holistically minded, you know how much of a challenge it can be to find a quality product that isn’t loaded with toxins and chemicals for your pets. Spending hours on the web, deep into the research of low toxin pet products is no joke, and can without a doubt burn you out. Well look no further, I’ve got a list that your dog will thank you for, that’s jam packed with organic products, and USA based brands, all without having to spend hours of research on.
Leash - Based right here in WNC The Good Dog Company leashes and collars are made from a blend of environmentally ethical hemp and organic cotton. Making it not only strong, but naturally antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. If your dog has sensitive skin then this could be a great option for them! The Good Dog Company offers basic colors and a variety of designs, and lengths.
Bedding - From small pups to giant breeds, East Perry offers a 100% sheepskin dog bed for a dog of every size. Hypoallergenic and non-toxic, even the dogs with the most sensitive skin will love to cuddle up at night with the plush sheepskin. All hides are naturally tanned with lanolin, giving each bed the added benefit of a soothing effect on your canine’s nervous system. These beds are good for all seasons as well, since sheepskin is a natural fiber, therefore helping to regulate their body temperature come winter or summer.
Shampoo - On a mission to make the grooming industry safer and healthier from toxic chemicals, 4-Legger makes organic balms, shampoos and conditioners. Driven by a devastating cancer journey, 4-Legger is committed to synthetic, and additive free products that are not only safe but that will make your dog smell so fresh & clean.
Toys - Gone to the Dogs is a company after my own heart. Every product is made from 100% wool and wool filled, making it biodegradable and compostable. Their vibrant toys are all made with non-toxic dyes and each item is hand made by women in Nepal. Gone to the Dogs is committed to being a fair, living wage certified business and donate a portion of their proceeds to animal shelters.

Treats - These days so many dog treats are packed with fillers like corn, soy or grains. Products that are inflammatory and many times treated with chemicals. Manufactured in North Carolina, and with the only ingredient being USA-sourced, human grade-air dried meat, Beg & Barker is a product that's not only safe for your dog, but you too. If you’re into that. All treats are made in small batches, with no artificial preservatives, and a money back guaranteed if you don’t love their products.
Bowls - Disappointed by the lack of safe options in the pet world, the lead founder behind Basis Products decided to leave their world of biotech behind to start creating safe products for their own pet. Their stainless steel dog bowls are tested for just about everything. Lead, mercury, cadmium, are independently tested in each of their products. All steel is made from 100% USA sourced stainless steel. Each bowl is BPA & phthalate free, and food grade, not to mention extremely light weight, making it easy to take on the go.
Air Purifier - Let’s be honest. No matter how cute your pets are, sometimes they can be a bit dirty. Pet dander can cause respiratory and sinus problems, as well as contact dermatitis, or hives. Not so fun. If you want to breathe healthier and cleaner air, and still keep your furry baby living their best life, then you without a doubt need to get a UltraHEPA air purifier. Air Doctor makes a model that fits every size home and budget. Air Doctor purifiers capture 99.97% of airborne particles, removing more pollutants than just an ordinary air filter. A 3 stage filtration system not only cleans the air of pet dander but including, mold spores, dust, pollen, viruses and bacteria.
