Our Promise to the Planet
At Dirty Paws, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's at the core of everything we do.
We believe that creating exceptional products for dogs shouldn't come at the expense of our planet. That's why we've built our business around sustainable practices—from our responsibly sourced ingredients to our eco-friendly packaging and carbon-neutral shipping.
Our journey to sustainability is ongoing, and we're constantly looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint while maintaining the premium quality our customers expect. Because we know that the choices we make today will impact the world our furry friends inherit tomorrow.
Our Environmental Impact
How we're working to make a difference
Water Conservation
Our manufacturing facility uses a closed-loop water system that recycles 95% of the water used in production, saving over 500,000 gallons annually.
Renewable Energy
Our facility is powered by 100% renewable energy through solar panels and wind credits, reducing our carbon footprint by over 60 tons of CO2 per year.
Zero Waste
We're proud to be working toward zero waste operations. Currently, we divert 92% of our manufacturing waste from landfills through recycling and composting.
Carbon-Neutral Shipping
We offset 100% of the carbon emissions from shipping through investments in verified forest conservation and renewable energy projects.
Responsible Sourcing
Our ingredients are sourced from sustainable suppliers who meet our rigorous environmental and ethical standards, supporting biodiversity and fair labor practices.
Giving Back
1% of every purchase is donated to environmental nonprofits working to protect wilderness areas and wildlife habitats around the world.
Our Sustainable Packaging
Minimizing waste without compromising quality
Recycled & Recyclable Bottles
Our bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, diverting waste from landfills. And of course, they're fully recyclable after use.
By using recycled plastic instead of virgin materials, we reduce energy consumption by 66% and keep valuable resources in the circular economy.
Plastic-Free Shipping
We've eliminated plastic from our shipping materials. Our boxes are made from recycled cardboard, and we use biodegradable packing materials that dissolve in water after use.
This change alone has prevented over 2,000 pounds of plastic waste from entering the environment each year.
Concentrated Formulas
Our concentrated shampoo formulas are designed to be diluted, reducing packaging waste while providing more value to our customers. Each 16oz bottle can make 32oz of shampoo when diluted as directed.
This concentration reduces shipping weight and volume by 50%, further decreasing our carbon footprint.

- Achieve carbon neutrality across our entire business operations by 2026
- Transition to 100% plastic-free packaging by 2027
- Implement water-saving technologies to reduce manufacturing water usage by an additional 30% by 2026
- Expand our renewable energy capacity to generate 120% of our energy needs, feeding excess back to the grid
- Develop a take-back program for our packaging to ensure proper recycling
- Achieve zero waste to landfill status for all our facilities by 2028
We invite you to join us on this journey toward a more sustainable future for all.
