MANAGING THE MESS
As any pet parent will tell you, cleaning products are a vastly under appreciated part of pet ownership. Poop bags, litter boxes and their appropriate accessories are essential purchases for consumers who own dogs and cats. And those who keep other companion pets – including birds, critters and herps – are constantly on the lookout for effective cleaning items that can be used to keep their pet’s environment a healthy one for the companion animal.
When it comes to cleaning and neutralizing products for urine, stain and odors, natural ingredients in this category continue to be in demand from consumers. No longer a niche item, natural cleaning products are trending toward the mainstream.
