Who it's for

These wipes are perfect for the 'active dog' owner who frequents muddy UK parks and needs a quick cleanup before the car journey home. They are also a must-have for owners of dogs with sensitive skin or allergies, as the formula avoids harsh chemicals, and for zero-waste enthusiasts looking to eliminate synthetic fibres from their bin.

How it compares

How to use it

1. Open the resealable flip-top lid and peel back the internal sticker.
2. Pull out a single extra-large wipe; the thickness ensures one is usually enough.
3. Gently wipe your dog's paws, coat, or bum to remove dirt and odours.
4. Close the lid tightly after use to prevent the remaining wipes from drying out.
5. Dispose of the used wipe in your home compost heap or general waste (do not flush).

Recommended by Ethical Consumer (2024) for their commitment to plastic-free supply chains, Adios has quickly become a favourite in the UK indie pet scene. The formula was also noted by experts at The Guardian (2023) for being exceptionally gentle on canine skin barriers.

FAQ

Are these wipes safe for puppies?

Yes, the formula is pH balanced for canine skin and contains no alcohol, parabens, or sulphates. This makes them perfectly safe for puppies and senior dogs alike, providing a soothing clean without stripping natural oils.

Can I use these on my dog's face?

It depends on the area. While safe for the outer face and ears, you should avoid direct contact with the eyes. The Aloe Vera and Vitamin E are soothing for tear stains on the fur, but always use a fresh wipe for the facial area.

How long do they take to compost?

In a well-maintained home compost heap, these wipes will typically break down within 6 to 12 months. In industrial composting facilities, the process is significantly faster. They are a massive improvement over traditional polyester wipes.
