The Scent & Tail journey didn't begin with a business plan; it began with a worried glance in the rearview mirror at our beloved Pomsky, Luna. That feeling—the deep-seated need to provide her with comfort without compromising her safety in any way—is the heart and soul of our brand.
Our promise to you is simple: every product we create is one we first formulated for our own family, guided by an unwavering commitment to safety, transparency, and quality.
A Promise Built on a Pet-First Philosophy
We have a deep respect for the unique biology of our pets. Their experience with scent is fundamentally different from our own, and our process is built around this understanding.
The golden rule in veterinary toxicology is that cats are not small dogs. Cats have a unique metabolism that makes them far more sensitive to certain compounds. For this reason, every Scent & Tail blend is formulated to the highest standard of safety: the standard for cats. We believe that a product safe enough for our most sensitive feline friends is a product that offers complete peace of mind for all pet owners.
The Four Pillars of Our Promise
Our commitment to you and your pet stands on four key pillars:
1. Uncompromising Ingredient Safety Our formulary begins not with what we put in, but with what we promise to leave out. Our blends will never contain essential oils with known toxicity to pets, such as Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Wintergreen, or certain Pines. We exclusively use oils with an established history of safety for diffusion around animals.
2. A Commitment to Scientific Evidence We believe that trust is earned through research. Our ingredient choices are guided by the best available scientific literature. Studies published in respected journals like the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association and Applied Animal Behaviour Science have demonstrated the calming effects of key ingredients like Lavender, Cedarwood, and Chamomile on pets in stressful situations. This evidence-based approach is the foundation of our blends.
3. Absolute Purity, Verified What's not in our oils is as important as what is. We use only 100% pure, unadulterated essential oils. We ensure the purity and identity of our key ingredients are verified through third-party GC/MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) testing, guaranteeing they are free from synthetic fragrances, fillers, and adulterants.
4. Thoughtful Formulation & Guidance True aromatherapy for pets is about subtlety, not strength. Based on veterinary guidance, our blends are designed to be effective at a very low concentration. Our recommended usage of 1-3 drops in your diffuser ensures a serene atmosphere that is effective for you but never overwhelming for your pet's sensitive system.
Our Final Word
At Scent & Tail, "pet-safe" is not a marketing term; it is the reason we exist. It is our unwavering promise to you and the furry co-pilots you love. We do the research so you can simply enjoy the journey.
