Ingredients in Pet Care care Products

Since we are often asked about the ingredients in the pet cosmetics sold by us, we would like to try to explain this to you.

Some manufacturers of the grooming products we offer list the ingredients on the products, but unfortunately not all of them do. We have contacted all manufacturers; some were willing to provide information, others were not. If we know the ingredients, we have listed them for you within the description of the respective product.

However, we would like to explain a few more things.

There are various internet portals where you can enter individual ingredients of cosmetics and food products and receive corresponding information. However, this information should be treated with a degree of caution.

A good example is lanolin – sheep’s wool fat. Lanolin is a purely natural product obtained from sheep’s wool. Not so long ago, it was listed as harmful to health. Despite the fact that this information turned out to be false, you can still find websites that warn against lanolin.

Another example is silicone. There’s a huge hype online where people discuss good and bad silicone. However, silicone can also protect the hair, improve combability, add shine, and repair minor damage.

We could list many more examples, but that would go beyond the scope of this post.

If you search the internet long enough, you’ll find a potential danger in everything, and if you filter out the ingredients from everything you eat, drink, bathe with, and apply to your skin, you’ll probably have to do without almost everything. Even many organic products contain preservatives, otherwise they wouldn’t be usable within a few days. Most people don’t consider that they are often touching these products with potentially non-sterile hands…

By the way, the terms “natural cosmetics” or “organic” are not protected. A natural cosmetics or organic seal doesn’t say anything about whether or not you’re dealing with toxic substances. Sometimes, ingredients are permitted that are based on natural raw materials and must be biodegradable, but this doesn’t change their skin-irritating or allergenic effects.

Back to our pet cosmetics. Yes, these also sometimes contain lanolin, silicone, mineral oil, parabens, and many other substances that are often described as harmful to health on the internet. Why do we still sell them? Quite simply: Because we are absolutely convinced of their effectiveness and results, and we don’t let ourselves be swayed by just any online portals!

True to our motto “Selected products for 4 paws,” we have tested all the items we offer over an extended period. Not only on our own dogs, and the dogs and cats of fellow breeders and friends, but also, in some cases, on our own skin and hair.

We deliberately don’t jump on every trend. As retailers, we are constantly offered new brands, especially currently products riding the organic wave. Vegan dog food, natural soaps, and much more. However, we prefer to stick with tried and tested products. The manufacturers of the pet cosmetics we offer have proven themselves on the global market for many years, even decades. If an item was truly so harmful to health, it would have been removed from the market long ago. It’s simply impossible to make any statements about potential long-term damage or delayed effects with new products.

So, keep taking good care of your four-legged friend and don’t always analyse everything down to the smallest detail!
