Why Is Unscented So Important to Clean Pets Supply?
Our wipes are made for all pets, and you can never know what a pet might be sensitive to. So we keep the ingredient list as short as possible and add nothing that isn't needed, and fragrance is the first thing we leave out.
A clean dog or cat doesn't need artificial fragrance to be clean. Their sense of smell is far better than ours, so a scent that seems light to us can be a lot for them. It can overstimulate them and make clean up time harder than it needs to be. Perfume can even hide the smells that give early clues something is off, like bad breath or funky ears.
It also comes down to who we are. I love clean products and real things, which is why every pet on our packaging is a real pet and every drawing is hand drawn. Nothing fake, nothing extra. Unscented is the same idea in a wipe: nothing but CLEAN.
