5 good reasons to use completely natural products for the care of our 4-legged friends

Just as you would never use chemical and aggressive products on a newborn, you should also avoid using products that contain potentially harmful substances for the care of your fur babies.

Fortunately, in recent times, an "ecological culture" is spreading more and more; And so as people move towards eco-friendly and organic solutions, more and more all-natural pet care products are finding their way onto the market. 

Here are some of the many benefits of choosing a natural 100% pet care routine.

  1. NATURAL PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES

Many forget that chemicals and synthetics are somewhat new arrivals on pet store shelves. Natural remedies, on the contrary, have existed for centuries and are effective solutions for the most common problems that afflict our 4-legged friends.

2. NATURAL PRODUCTS ARE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

All (and I emphasize all, with no way out) the chemical substances contained in industrial cosmetics, sooner or later, end up pouring into rivers and seas, into the air, into the subsoil, thus irreversibly damaging the planet and wildlife. Natural products, on the other hand, do not have these negative effects on the environment.

3. NO UNWANTED SIDE EFFECTS

Synthetic products, if used regularly and for a long period of time, end up damaging the coat of your inseparable friend. Besides, they can also cause allergies, itching and digestive upsets. This happens because animals lick themselves and ingest all the chemicals contained in detergents and cosmetics. Natural products are much less likely to cause allergic reactions, so you can have complete peace of mind when applying natural plant-based products to your pet. And, to be even safer, it is advisable to test the product on a small portion of hair to make sure there are no allergic reactions.

4. NATURAL PRODUCTS ARE NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS

Whether you own a dog, a cat, a hamster or a horse, you will surely agree that every animal is precious. Testing cosmetic products on poor defenseless little animals is a cruelty which unfortunately many big brands are still guilty of today.

5. LESS EXPENSIVE

Generally, chemicals are more expensive than natural alternatives. So your wallet also benefits from adopting a more natural approach to caring for your pets.

THE RIGHT PRODUCTS

At this point, we just have to find out which organic products are suitable for our 4-legged friends.

There is a large choice of products, some of which are intended for human use, but which are also perfect for our animals.

We have 3 main categories of products: for cleansing, pesticides and moisturizing products.

  1. CLEANSING

Doggie lovers, this line is all for you: Parentesi Bio has created a line of detergents specifically designed for your dog. Suitable for all hair types, the line consists of 3 products: shampoo, spray and detangling mask. Strictly based on vegetable surfactants, which act with a knot-dissolving effect in a completely delicate way, without affecting the physiological pH of your dog's coat and characterized by a very light fragrance.

Moreover, the spray can also be used for the hair of cats, even better if diluted with water.

For those who own animals with white or light hair, they know well that when their animals spend a lot of time outside, the hair tends to get yellow stains. Well, to remove these stains and obtain a beautiful white coat, the Phitofilos anti-yellow shampoo is excellent, composed exclusively of herbs and, therefore, very delicate on the fur and skin of your animals.

And, as a final touch, to best soap your puppies, you can use sea sponges, which are incredibly soft and not at all abrasive like classic sponges.

  • PESTICIDES

Neem oil and essential oil of lemongrass they are a panacea for their repellent properties against many types of insects, including flies, mosquitoes, horseflies, fleas, bedbugs and aphids.

Usage suggestion: mix 100 ml of neem oil with a few drops of lemongrass essential oil, adding a little vinegar. Alternatively, we can replace the lemongrass essential oil with 1, maximum 2 drops of tea tree essential oil. It is important not to exceed with tea tree because if ingested in high doses it can be toxic.

  • MOISTURIZING PRODUCTS

The shea butter, in addition to being good for human skin, it is also excellent for taking care of and protecting the paws of our furbabies from sunburn, especially in this period when, with the high summer temperatures, the roads and, more generally, the surfaces, become hot . 

That's all for today too!
