Kin+Kind

Kin+Kind, often typed as "kin and kind" or "kin kind", is a natural grooming and home-care line for dogs and cats. Ashario Pets carries nine Kin+Kind products, priced from $12.80 to $20.99 CAD, covering shampoos, balm sticks, ear cleansers and an odour spray. This guide explains which one fits your pet.

Which Kin+Kind shampoo should I choose?

Four of the shampoos differ mainly by scent profile and intended coat situation, so pick by what your dog comes home with rather than by label appeal.

• Outdoor Shield Lavender Shampoo — a lavender-scented wash suited to dogs who spend long stretches on trails, in parks or in the backyard.
• Deep Clean Almond & Vanilla Dog Shampoo — the pick for a genuinely dirty coat after mud, sand or a rolled-in mess.
• Itchy Organic Oatmeal Jasmine & Lily Dog Shampoo — an oatmeal-based formula for dogs with dry, scratchy-feeling skin and a softer floral scent.
• Itchy Pet Rosemary & Peppermint Shampoo — same itchy-skin focus with a sharper herbal scent, useful if your household prefers to avoid florals.

If your dog bathes often, alternating a deep-clean wash with an oatmeal formula keeps the coat clean without over-stripping between grooms.

Balm sticks and ear care

The stick format is the easiest way to treat a small, specific area. The Nose and Paw Moisturizer Stick targets rough nose leather and pads, which matters most through Toronto winters when sidewalk salt and dry indoor air take a toll. The Hot Spot Relief Stick applies to a single irritated patch without wetting the whole dog. Both are labelled for cats as well as dogs.

For ears, Kin+Kind splits the job by species: the Organic Clean Ears Dog Ear Cleanser and the Natural Kitty Cat Ear Cleanser. Routine ear cleaning supports general ear hygiene; anything that looks painful, swollen or persistent is a conversation for your veterinarian.

For the house, not the pet

The Pee + Stain + Odour Destroyer Spray rounds out the range for accidents on floors, bedding and crate pads. It is a sensible add-on for puppy households and senior pets.
