We’re incredibly proud to share some exciting news: Nilaqua Pets has been recognised by The Good Shopping Guide as one of the top ethical pet grooming brands in its newly published Pet Grooming Ethical Ratings Table.
With an outstanding GSG Score of 98, Nilaqua Pets is also listed as the top-rated waterless pet grooming brand in the table – a milestone that reflects everything we stand for as a business.
Why this recognition matters
Pet owners are becoming more conscious about the products they use – and rightly so.
The pet grooming industry can often involve:
– Harsh or unnecessary chemicals
– Avoidable plastic waste
– And products that don’t always prioritise animal welfare or environmental impact
At Nilaqua Pets, we’ve always believed there’s a better way to care for pets. One that is practical, effective and genuinely more responsible.
This recognition from The Good Shopping Guide is especially meaningful because it reflects not just product performance, but broader ethical standards across environmental responsibility, animal welfare, and people-focused policies.
What helped Nilaqua Pets achieve such a high score?
According to The Good Shopping Guide, Nilaqua Pets performs strongly across key ethical criteria and has been recognised for its commitment to creating more responsible pet care products.
Some of the things that make Nilaqua Pets stand out include:
- Waterless grooming that helps reduce waste
Our products are designed to offer convenient, no-rinse pet care – helping owners keep pets clean and fresh without the need for traditional bathing.
That means less water use, less mess, and a more practical grooming routine for everyday life.
- Vegan and cruelty-free values
Animal welfare is central to what we do. Our products are developed with care and are cruelty-free certified, while also offering vegan-friendly options.
- Made in the UK
We’re proud to be a family-owned business manufacturing in the UK, helping support local jobs while also reducing the environmental impact associated with overseas transportation.
- A focus on sustainability beyond the bottle
Ethical business is about more than a label.
The Good Shopping Guide also highlighted the wider sustainability efforts, including:
– The use of recycled plastic in bottles and labels
– The use of renewable energy to power the manufacturing
– Support for charitable causes
– And participation in litter picking initiatives.
These are all part of our wider commitment to doing business in a way that is better for pets, people and the planet.
Ethical pet care is no longer a niche – it’s the future
Today’s pet owners want more from the brands they buy from. They want products that are not only effective, but also aligned with their values.
We believe pet care should feel good in every sense:
– Good for your dog
– Good for your routine
– And good for the world around us
Being recognised in The Good Shopping Guide’s ethical comparison table shows that sustainable pet grooming is not only possible – it’s something more brands should be striving towards.
Thank you for being part of our journey
We’re so grateful to our customers, stockists and supporters who continue to champion kinder, more sustainable pet care.
This recognition is something we’re incredibly proud of – and it motivates us to keep pushing for better, more ethical innovation in the pet grooming space.
