Education
We've extended our popular Education Series to further explain the difference of Organic vs Natural and the importance of why USA Made matters.
Our Education Series also covers our promotion of the Organic Trade Association during National Trade Week where we promoted OTA and organic on our Blog and social media.

More than 250 leaders from organic businesses, farms, and ranches of all sizes from all regions of the country came to Organic Week in Washington, D.C. OTA spoke to a full Congregational House on the impact of organic on climate change and ways to spearhead more organic public-private partnerships for our industry. Organic is healthier for you, your pets and our planet!

Ingredients Matter
Eugenol Oil

We continue to educate on some of the lesser know ingredients in some of our products. Eugenol  is a colorless to pale yellow, aromatic oily liquid extracted from certain  essential oils;   clove oil, nutmeg, cinnamon, basil and bay leaf . Eugenol is a pleasant, spicy,  clove -like scent.

Eugenol is a natural antiseptic with restorative properties. It's an antioxidant that preserves hair health and strengthens follicles from free radicals. It also prevents and treats skin infections, making Eugenol a superior ingredient for organic grooming and pet wellness.
Philanthropy - Making a Difference
Paws for Life K9
Their new  Shelter Paws for Life Program  is specifically intended to assist dogs in shelters who, for one reason or another, have been in the system for four months or longer and have essentially gone unnoticed (while these are typically larger "power breeds," it's not exclusively the case).  

Utilizing their successful Paws for Life Prison Program, canines are put though a 6-8 week training course.

These once invisible, unloved pups will be trained by professional dog trainers and inmates, who’ll crate and potty train them, teach them to walk well on a leash, as well as basic commands, and regularly socialize them with humans and other pups.    Adopt a dog or donate . Make sure to visit with the PFL staff at Superzoo, and hear more about their amazing programs. They'll be our special guest in the Pura Naturals Pet booth #3159.

For more on the program watch this inspirational Paws for Life K9 video .
