Natural cat groomingNatural grooming products for cats.
Cats groom themselves, so anything left on the coat is eventually licked off. That is why only part of our range is made for cats: the Gentle Daily Shampoo in all three fragrances and the waterless Dry Foam Shampoo. Both are made to a 99.5% Natural Origin Index (calculated per ISO 16128-2), with mild coconut- and sugar-derived cleansers and a probiotic preservative instead of parabens, MIT or phenoxyethanol.
Our Anti-Tick & Flea Spray, Paw Cleaner and Refreshing Mist are for dogs only - they use fragrance actives and functional ingredients that are not suitable for cats.
