Pets often bring the unwanted part of the outdoors back inside along with them. Whether you’re a professional groomer or just a pet lover who wants to keep your home and four-legged friends clean, pet wipes can make the job simpler and easier. Here’s our short list of brands we really like.
Gentle care
Earth Rated’s dog wipes are hypoallergenic for worry-free cleaning on even the most sensitive pets. USDA certified 99 percent bio-based, these green chemical-free wipes are plant sourced and compostable, so you won’t feel guilty about a carbon footprint. Packed with natural ingredients like aloe, shea butter, and chamomile, these cleansing wipes will keep your pet’s fur soft and fresh smelling without artificial fragrances or residue. Free of sulfates and alcohol, you can safely use them on your dog’s face, body, and bottom without irritation. Works well with skittish or traumatized foster pets who can’t tolerate a bath. Also popular for gentle bathing following surgeries when it’s important your canine stays nice and dry.
No nasty chemicals
For the lover of all things organic, this is your choice for uber green treatment of your dog, cat, or other small pet. The BIGA pet wipe is 100 percent natural and free of parabens, sulfates, chlorine, alcohol, fragrances, or other chemicals. Naturally deodorizing and hypoallergenic, you can clean your small pet’s eyes, mouth, or teeth without concern. Especially useful for pets prone to eye discharge, or that messy gravy residue constantly soiling your dog’s chin. Large sized wipe accommodates plenty of cleaning with fewer cloths. It’s designed to be both durable and soft, so cleansing will feel more like a day at the pet spa than a bathing regimen. Comes in a handy, portable pack so it can go with you wherever your pet does.
Everyday use
Nature’s Miracle Deodorizing Bath Wipes are great for clean-ups and quick refreshing of your furry friend when there’s no time for a bath or the grooming appointment is still days away. Alcohol free and enriched with moisturizing conditioners for healthy skin and shiny coat, this product is gentle enough to use every day – a handy feature if your canine loves to roll in the dirt on a daily basis or is a habitual sloppy eater. Nature’s Miracle quickly goes to work so your best friend can join you on the couch again, or go back to taking up all the space in the bed.
Natural approach
You may know of Burt Bees as a provider of natural skincare products but now they help keep your dog smelling clean and looking shiny, too. This product offers a natural approach to cleaning and deodorizing your adult dog or puppy, with ingredients like honey that is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Each wipe is pH balanced for softness on the skin, and is free of fragrances, sulfates, colorants, phthalates, petroleum, or harsh chemicals for peace of mind. The honey cleanses while also nourishing your dog’s skin, and is effective in removing dirt and odors from your dog’s coat. Great for spot cleaning and for keeping paws dirt free, so you don’t have to be cleaning paw prints off your kitchen floor.
For sensitive areas
These wipes can get down and dirty to handle the tough jobs you don’t want to. Contains a natural DeoPlex enzyme that is ultra deodorizing and restores hygienic standards even in the worst messes. Popular among groomers, it will get rid of the dreaded glandular odor that raises its ugly head when your dog drags his bottom across the floor. Contains aloe and vitamin E to moisturize and condition sensitive skin areas, so it’s also safe to use for daily cleansing on your pet’s paws, coat, face, and ears. This multipurpose wipe is designed for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens, so you can keep your four-legged kids close by and unwanted odors far away.
