Natural care for dogs – why avoid chemicals and what to choose instead?

October 25, 2025

Dogs are our family members, so we want only the best for them. However, many conventional grooming products contain ingredients that are not very friendly to their skin or health. Fortunately, natural care offers a safer and more effective alternative—for both the dog and the environment.

Chemicals in conventional grooming – what hides in the ingredients?

Common shampoos, gels, or creams for dogs often contain:

  • parabens,
  • sulfates,
  • alcohol,
  • artificial fragrances.

Research shows that these substances can cause itching, allergic reactions, and skin irritation in sensitive dogs. (1*) Long-term use weakens the skin barrier and increases the risk of chronic dermatological problems.

Benefits of natural care for dogs and the environment

Better skin tolerance

Natural ingredients such as aloe vera, chamomile, and olive oil have been proven to support the skin barrier and reduce inflammation. (2*, 3*) Gentle formulas lower the risk of skin reactions and promote regeneration.

Less itching and redness

Removing aggressive chemicals from grooming products reduces dermatitis and itching, especially in dogs with sensitive or allergy-prone skin. (2*)

The result is a better quality of life—without unpleasant side effects.

How to recognize a truly natural product

  • Check for certifications and clearly listed ingredients.
  • Avoid formulations with unnecessary synthetic additives.
  • Choose products based on scientifically supported natural extracts safe for dogs.
