I Use These Plant-Based Grooming Wipes on My Dog Daily—and RN the Whole Brand's on Sale

Any pet parent knows how fast a dog's paws can get dirty even if they're just walking around the block, but these grooming wipes (which come in lavender and white tea/basil scents or unscented) are my go-tos for getting them clean in a flash. They're made with simple, hypoallergenic ingredients like chamomile extract, aloe, shea butter and vitamin E, so your pup's paws will stay nourished even with frequent use. Plus, they don't contain alcohol or parabens so they shouldn't be irritating on their skin.

You might be thinking, does anyone really have a favorite brand for waste bags? Well, I'm here to tell you the answer is a definite "yes," and my faves happen to be these lavender-scented ones from Earth Rated. They're thick, so they don't tear easily (but not so thick that they're tough to tie) and the opening at the top doesn't stick together nearly as much as other brands I've tried (which is essential if you're trying to clean up quickly). Not to mention, the subtle scent is much better than your typical plastic smell.

Another Earth Rated product that should be on your radar is this no-rinse pet shampoo. It's waterless and you simply apply it to your pet's fur or paws to freshen them up. Personally, I like to use no-rinse shampoo as an extra step before the grooming wipes if I've had my pup out for a while and his paws need a deeper clean, but I don't want to stress him out with a whole bath. And now that the bottles are less than $10 each, I'm planning to snag a couple ahead of our outdoor summer adventures.

On days your pet really does need a full bath, though, this three-in-one shampoo is a great pick to keep their fur healthy and shiny. It's available for full, double and curly coats and is formulated to clean, hydrate and deodorize their fur, while also tackling tangles and reducing shedding. Yep, it's a need.
