Natural Dog Company
Natural, Effective, Holistic
Who They Are
Natural Dog Company founder, Elise Davis, has always had a love for animals. Since she was little, while other girls played with their dolls, she was constantly playing with her stuffed animals. As she grew older and gained a love for non-toxic products, her two loves came together to form the Natural Dog Company.
Elise developed the idea for the Natural Dog Company after she was diagnosed with a debilitating disease. The doctors told her there was no cure, and sent her home with a handful of chemical heavy prescriptions. Elise couldn’t believe it, and without any knowledge of her condition, tossed out her prescriptions and looked towards a more holistic approach.
She quickly found that a lifestyle change would be the best way towards returning her health. She decided to maintain a healthy diet, and cut out unnatural preservatives and chemicals. Elise then enrolled in college to become a Master Herbalist and Nutrition Consultant. How is this relevant to the Natural Dog Company, you ask? After Elise was diagnosed, her dogs were with her through all the struggles and changes that she faced as she started her new life. Elise started to live a more holistic lifestyle, and realized the same positive effects she felt could also benefit her dogs as well!

Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.
Organic materials and ingredients are grown without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers, promoting a healthier use of land and decreasing harmful agricultural runoff. By steering clear of toxic chemicals, farm workers experience less exposure to hazardous conditions, promoting social responsibility as well as environmental stewardship. Choosing organic materials eliminates the use of insecticides and other harmful chemicals, promotes efficient resource use, and results in a safer products and a cleaner planet!
