Pet grooming products that meet our strictest standards
EWG Verified®: Pet Grooming
Did you know? Pet grooming products today are made with a lot of the same toxic substances people try to avoid in cosmetics and other personal care items. So why are they okay for our furry friends?
The answer: They’re not.
That’s why our team decided to launch EWG Verified: Pet grooming. Whether it’s with pet shampoos, conditioners, detanglers or cleansers, we want our four-legged best friend to use products free from harmful chemicals.
And as caregivers, we don’t want to be exposed to unwanted, harmful chemicals when we bathe, rinse or snuggle our dogs and cats. Avoiding these chemicals is a win-win for pets, pet siblings and pet parents.
When you see the EWG Verified mark on a pet grooming product, you can rest assured it meets our strictest standards for health, transparency and the environment.
Invest in your pets' health with EWG Verified.
As pet owners, we strive to take the best care of our furry friends and family – from healthy food to long walks in the park and other outdoor adventures.
But there’s one risk that many pet parents don’t think about, and that’s exposure through their pets's grooming products to chemicals of potential concern.
Even if you do worry about this, it’s hard to know exactly what’s in the products because manufacturers are not required to list ingredients on labels.
EWG Verified is the first pet grooming certification backed by scientists, engineers and toxicologists and focused on ingredient transparency, health and product safety, and consumer education. We believe when it comes to our and our pets’ health and safety, there should be no shortcuts.
At EWG, we believe pet grooming products should:
Be made with transparency, with all ingredients and materials used publicly disclosed.
-
Be free of EWG’s ingredients of concern that harm health and the environment.
-
Meet stringent air quality standards.
