The MADE SAFE team knows that you’re into healthy living, and that you’re aware harmful substances can be found in many places around the home. That’s why we’re excited to announce a new category for our precious pets! Our pets feel like members of our family and we want to treat them as such, but sometimes it can be difficult to find products that live up to the same standards you hold for your own products. That is why we’re launching MADE SAFE’s new (and soon to be growing!) Pets category. It will help you identify products that are safe for pets, humans, and the ecosystem as a whole. The MADE SAFE seal means that products have been screened for known behavioral toxins, carcinogens, developmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, fire retardants, heavy metals, neurotoxins, high-risk pesticides, reproductive toxins, toxic solvents, harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – and more. MADE SAFE prohibits the use of more than 6,500 banned substances in certified products: substances known or suspected to cause harm to humans and the environment. Look for the MADE SAFE seal for your pet needs, starting with the featured products below. Avocado Green Mattress Conventional pet beds can contain a slew of problematic substances such as chemical flame retardants, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and VOCs. Avocado Green Mattress challenges the toxic status quo with their new Organic Dog Bed. It is made from organic cotton, organic latex (as an alternative to toxic polyurethane foam), and coconut husk. Plus, it also comes with a waterproof organic cotton inner liner that is removable in case of the dreaded but requisite “accidents” that happen with our furry friends. |

Avocado Green Mattress Much like the pet bed, the pillow bolster from Avocado Green Mattress uses organic cotton to steer clear of the high-risk pesticides found in conventional textiles. It also uses buckwheat hull rather than polyester fiber to give the pillow a soft and cushioned fill. The cotton cover on the pillow can be unzipped and washed for easy cleaning. We love it! |

Branch Basics Branch Basics’ all-in-one cleaning concentrate is a great nontoxic solution to tackle most household cleaning, but did you know that the concentrate is gentle and non-irritating enough to be used for bath time with your pets? Branch Basics uses gentle plant-derived surfactants and organic chamomile instead of harsh surfactants and preservatives as many conventional shampoos and cleaning products do. Check out their how-to wash your pet video or their full user guide for instructions. Plus, as a bonus this multi-tasking concentrate also acts a hardworking laundry detergent for washing any pet bedding and as an all-purpose cleaner for messes. |
