FAQ

When it comes to the topic of eating insects, many pet owners in the US will probably cringe. That’s because we tend to associate insects as something undesirable, gross, or creepy. But the truth is that insects have been consumed by not just animals but also people around the world for centuries! Called entomophagy, it's quite common, and currently over 2 billion people globally consume insects as part of their regular diet.

One commonly farmed insect protein source are the larvae of Hermetia illucens, commonly known as black soldier fly larvae or soldier worms. According to one scientific report, the dry weight of black soldier fly larvae contains up to 50% crude protein, up to 35% lipids, and have an amino acid profile that is like that of fishmeal.

We made our vegetarian dog treats to give your dog a healthy, delicious, protein-packed treat while lessening their environmental impact. Plant-based diets, including treats, can help reduced greenhouse gas emissions. But we wanted to make sure your dog enjoyed eating them, too. That's why we created our line of plant-based, upcycled treats.
Absolutely! Whether your dog is on a complete vegetarian diet, including vegetarian food, or a flexitarian that enjoys a Meatless Monday every once in a while, dogs can definitely enjoy a vegetarian diet.
Not only is peanut butter a healthy source of protein & fat for dogs, but it's also delicious! As with any treat, make sure you feed in moderation.
Carbon neutral means this product had zero net greenhouse gas emissions. Since we currently need to release greenhouse gas emissions to produce our products, we offset those by partnering with Carbon Credit Capital to calculate the amount released and then investing in projects that prevent an equal amount of emissions from entering the atmosphere. These projects include rainforest preservation and biogas capturing.
Upcycled ingredients are ingredients that look too "ugly" or "imperfect" for the grocery store, but are just as healthy. Using upcycled ingredients means this product has a smaller environmental footprint, from reducing food waste to limiting greenhouse gas emissions, but has the big nutrition and taste your pet loves!
We use Fresh recycling for Only Natural Pet's beds & toys. Fresh recycling uses scrap fabrics from the Home & Fashion industry. The leftover scraps are regenerated into a recycled fiber & then spun back into yarn to create our beds & toys. The amount of water and CO2 needed is less than the amount used to grow and generate virgin cotton while diverting discarded cotton from landfills.

All of Only Natural Pet's cotton or hemp bed covers are machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or hand dry for best results. Keep in mind - due to the nature of natural fibers, colors may fade.

All Only Natural Pet cotton or hemp toys should be spot cleaned only.

The Regenerated Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Fill used in Only Natural Pet Toys & Beds is sourced from scraps made during water bottle processing. Scraps are shredded into flakes then, shaped into pellets which are made into yarns. The yarn is used to fill our Toys and Beds. Recycled PET gives off 75% less CO2 emissions and diverts plastic from landfills!
Our Only Natural Pet cotton and hemp toys and beds are dreamed up at our headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, then sourced and manufactured in India.

Cold pressed dog food isn’t actually a kibble at all! Rather than being a baked, biscuit like texture, these nutrient-packed pieces are longer and generally meatier looking. But the difference doesn’t stop at how the food looks. It goes to the actual composition itself which makes it easier to digest.

As the name implies, ground ingredients are taken, mixed with cold water, cooked quickly at low temperatures, and pressed into the desired dog-appropriate shape. It’s a technique that preserves lots of the natural nutritional value of the ingredients. This is quite different from the classic way dry dog food is made, which includes high cooking temperatures.

Cold pressed dog food is way more palatable because it preserves much of the original flavor and scent of the ingredients used. This makes it a favorite for owners who have fussy dogs that tend to turn up their nose at a lot of other kibbles they may have tried.

Cold pressed dog food doesn’t expand when eaten and digested like extruded foods. Instead, it breaks down quickly and naturally, making it very easily digestible. Plus, cold pressed dog food retains more nutrients than other popular, which is especially true of oils, enzymes and vitamins, which can be lost at those higher temperatures in the extrusion process.

A properly snug harness, pack, or collar should mean you can fit only two fingers between your pet and the product at any point.

Start with the product loose, so it is easy to slip on your pet, then tighten once it’s on.

Your product may be the improper size or improperly fitted if you see any of the following:

  1. Losing fur around harness area
  2. Chafing around harness area
  3. Wiggling free
  4. Back piece of harness rotating to sides
  5. Dog strongly resisting walking

It is important to refer to the size chart for each specific brand to find their sizing requirements. Below is a short guide to measuring your pet.

  1. Chest: Measure around the body of the dog with a flexible cloth tape measure. You should be starting at the bottom of the rib cage and going up and over the back and then back down to where you started.
  2. Neck: Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your Pet’s neck and take that measurement. The part right on top of his shoulders, not where he would normally wear his collar which is narrower.
  3. Weight: While chest and neck measurements are the most accurate ways to fit a dog, many harness companies use weight to guide sizing. If you’re having trouble getting your furry friend on the scale, weigh yourself first, then pick up your pet and weigh the two of you together. The difference will be the weight of your pet.

Since the EasyDefense Tag does not use electromagnetic energy, there is no danger or harm to your pet if they have a microchip. Additionally, the effectiveness of neither the EasyDefense Tag nor the microchip will be compromised.

Since the level of electricity utilized in shock collars and electric/invisible fences can affect your pet's biological system and compromise their immune health, we do not recommend using the EasyDefense Tag if your pet wears a shock collar or is around an electric or invisible fence.

No, since the EasyDefense Tag is a repellent, it is not an appropriate solution to treat an existing infestation on its own. If your house or your pet is already infested with fleas, wash your pet with our EasyDefense Flea & Tick Shampoo before attaching the EasyDefense Tag and vacuum indoor areas thoroughly. Next, treat your pet, your floors, your pet's furniture, and any other infested furniture with Only Natural Pet All-in-One Flea Remedy to help eradicate the fleas and their larvae.
The metal tag contains silicon dioxide particles that are encoded with frequencies that the tag then emits over time. These frequencies are annoying to pests, so they stay away from the pet wearing the tag. The tag is also encoded with frequencies that will synchronize with your pet's own unique biological frequency, which helps to support their immune system. This is why the tag must be kept on or near the pet at all times, and why it takes a few weeks for it to reach maximum effectiveness. A strong immune system is part of a strong defense against pests, because pests are more attracted to animals with a weaker immune system.

The EasyDefense Tag lasts 1 year when attached and used as directed. 

Your pet is protected from fleas, ticks and mosquitoes when wearing the tag so it is important to keep the tag on your pet's collar and the collar on your pet in order for the tag to work. You may remove the collar with the tag at night if you keep it in your pet's bed next to them. After the initial "activation" phase is complete (the first 3-4 weeks) the collar with the tag can be removed for very short amounts of time (for example, a bath) but should be put back on your pet immediately afterwards.

The EasyDefense Tag will not be harmed by normal wear and tear but in order to maintain effectiveness, occasionally rinse the tag with water only to remove the dirt and oils that may build up on the tag.

The EasyDefense Tag is waterproof. However, just make sure that during the initial "activation" phase (the first 4 weeks) that you remove the tag during baths and long swims. After that 4 week period is over it is fine to leave the tag on while your pet is in the water.

Our process puts pets first by looking at their unique biological needs before selecting premium, human-quality ingredients that support their health and happiness the natural way.

There are many ingredients that can be put into pet products that are not permitted in human products. In fact, this is the basis of how many conventional pet companies operate. They look for cheap, abundant by-products that cannot be used in human food because they are not healthy or are not suitable for human consumption and find creative ways to use them in pet food and supplies.

While pets might love leftovers from our plate, we think they deserve better than leftovers from commercial manufacturing. That’s why we’ve flipped the process for Only Natural Pet products. First, we examine the biological needs of pets. Then, working with our holistic veterinarian, we select only premium, natural ingredients that are suitable for human consumption to make products that support pets’ well-being both inside and out.

The amount of CBD you should give your cat or dog depends on a few different aspects such as how big your pet is, how old your pet is, what you are using CBD to treat, and ultimately what is recommended by the product itself. Many products will have dosage recommendations on the label to ensure your cat or dog is getting the right amount. If this is not present, we recommend visiting your veterinarian to ensure you are doing everything properly.

CBD or cannabidiol is a compound found in the hemp plant and is classified as a cannabinoid as a general term. CBD can come in the form of a tincture as an oil, in a product such as a coconut or salmon oil as an additive, or in a treat. There are many benefits to CBD and many of these have been studied in recent years proven to be true, some, however, are still being tested and are not fully discovered yet.
