Cruelty free living is a wholesome term and this concept does not only apply to our own routine but to our family life and even our pets. Every year more and more brands offer various grooming products for dogs, the majority of these brands only focus on pet care products but there are a few exceptions where a brand offers a few products for dogs in addition to skin care and household products. Sadly not all dog grooming products and brands are cruelty free. We bring you a list of genuinely cruelty free dog grooming brands and their top rated products.
Please note that some of the brands are not only cruelty free but also vegan and some offer a few vegan options but their full range isn’t vegan. Please always read the label for more information on the ingredients.
