about
mutt fresh
our brand was born out of a need for products that eliminate common skin irritants and prioritize natural ingredients. often, the most sensitive people and pets are left in the dark, forced to roll the dice on whether a product lacking ingredient transparency or loaded with synthetics will upset their skin.
at mutt, we don’t believe in hiding anything about our products. We proudly showcase our processes and provide our customers with a full, quantitative ingredient list.
we’ve always been a go-to for pet parents seeking natural solutions for their pets’ hair and skin health. but what we didn’t expect was to hear from thousands of people sharing their own needs for natural hair and body care.
there is very little regulation or expectation when it comes to pet care, but we’ve always formulated each product to exceed the standards of even human-grade products. each bottle and bar is filled with an array of natural, fresh ingredients, rich butters, and active plant oils to create products fresher than you’ve ever seen.
we formulate every ingredient in concentrations scientifically proven to be safe and effective for both humans and pets. we balance our products with a pH suitable for both, and we are always searching for new, innovative ways to replace traditional synthetics with natural alternatives.
we are the “mutt” of the hair and body space. we don’t believe in prioritizing profit margins over high-quality, healthy, and effective products for you and your pet.
our products are crafted with as much thoughtfulness on the outside as the inside. We strive to create products that look and feel like nothing you’ve experienced before.
our formulas are so fresh and simple that anyone can use them, and they’re designed so beautifully that everyone wants to use them.
