I’ll be the first to admit that many of the what we do here at Dr. Dobias Naturals are unusual, rare, and, by some, considered exotic.
But I believe that is a good thing.
Perhaps you will too, by the time you finish reading this email.
For example, if you order any of the our premium-grade natural dog supplementyou know we only use recyclable glass bottles.
And we ship them in a plastic-free eco sleeve, which is non-toxic and biodegradable.
This is unusual because many products (I’m tempted to say almost all of them) are wrapped in plastic.
But this is where we draw the line.
Our mission is to help you take care of your dogs but also help protect our environment for the benefit of all.
Plastic is not aligned with our beautiful planet or our mission.
The plastic is a very serious one problem
Most of us are very concerned about the damage to our environment, bodies, and dogs caused by plastic, especially microplastics.
If you stay up-to-date with health news, you’ve been hearing a lot about microplastics lately.
Microplastics are small pieces of plastic less than 5 millimeters long. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.
they are anywhere.
But even though microplastics are small, they pose a huge risk to our personal and planetary health.
Here’s a sampling of microplastic studies and stories from just this summer:
Microplastics have been linked to inflammation, memory issues, cognitive decline, hormone imbalances, poor heart health, and more.
They are a nightmare for our health and the environment.
You probably ingest more microplastics than you realize.
There are many more.
In fact, studies show that the average person ingests about 5 grams of plastic per week. That’s the equivalent of a credit card!
Isn’t this wild?!!
Plastic is everywhere, including our bodies (and our dogs, too).
I admit I feel like screaming!
But I believe it is important to accept the truth as it is while striving to create the best possible future we can imagine.
We are working towards a healthier, plastic-free future by packaging our products in recyclable glass bottles with metal caps and refusing to use plastic in our shipping.
If that sounds weird to us, well, we like it that way.
Hope you like it too.

Give your dog a hug from me!
