International Cat Day and the Importance of Pet-Friendly Cleaning Products

Celebrated annually on 8th August, International Cat Day, also known as World Cat Day, is a global observance dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness about cat welfare.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) launched International Cat Day in 2002 and since then it has gained popularity and recognition, with cat lovers, animal organisations and social platforms joining in the celebration.

The purpose of International Cat Day is multifaceted. Firstly, it aims to raise awareness about the various issues that cats face, including stray cat populations, abandonment, and mistreatment. It encourages people to consider adopting cats from shelters or rescue organisations and promotes responsible pet ownership.

Secondly, International Cat Day celebrates the companionship and joy that cats bring to our lives. It acknowledges their unique personalities, playful nature, and the deep bond they form with their human counterparts. It's a day to spoil our feline friends with love, treats, toys, and extra attention.

Moreover, International Cat Day serves as an opportunity to educate the public about cat care, health, and behaviour. It provides a platform to share important information on topics such as proper nutrition, regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, spaying/neutering and creating a safe home environment for cats.

Keeping our homes safe for cats

Pets make a house a home, but they also make a home dirtier, whether it's mud and dirt from outside, unforeseen accidents on floors, or their hair everywhere. As pet owners, we understand the challenges of maintaining a clean and safe environment for both our furry friends and our families. Unfortunately, many cleaning products on the market contain harmful chemicals that can pose a risk to our beloved pets. 

At Delphis Eco, we are committed to providing pet-friendly cleaning products that are effective, safe for your pets, and safe for you.

Why Choose Pet-Friendly Cleaning Products?

When it comes to cleaning our homes, it's essential to be mindful of the products we use, especially if we have pets. Our furry companions are curious creatures and often come into direct contact with the surfaces we clean. Traditional cleaning products often contain harsh chemicals, such as ammonia, bleach, phthalates and phosphates, which can be toxic to animals. Pets can inadvertently ingest or inhale these substances, leading to various health issues, including skin irritations, respiratory problems, or even poisoning. By opting for pet-friendly cleaning products, we can protect our four-legged friends while maintaining a clean and healthy living space.

Cleaning Tips for Pet Owners:

• Choose wisely: when purchasing cleaning products, always look for those labelled as pet-friendly or safe for animals. Read the labels carefully to ensure the absence of harmful chemicals
• Keep pets away during the cleaning process, it's best to keep your pets in a separate area to prevent accidental contact with cleaning solutions. Once the surfaces have dried and the area is safe, you can allow your pets to roam freely
• Regular Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance can help reduce the amount of pet hair, dander, and dirt in your home. Vacuuming frequently, using lint rollers, and grooming your pets regularly can also significantly minimise the mess.

Maintaining a clean and pet-friendly home is crucial for the well-being of both your furry friends and your family. With Delphis Eco's range of pet-friendly cleaning products, you can ensure a safe and clean living environment.
