In 2004, my husband and I moved from Japan to the United States, bringing with us our two beloved Golden Retrievers. Our deep love for our dogs inspired us to shift our careers to the pet care industry. I became a professional dog trainer, while my husband honed his skills as an experienced dog bather, working in a grooming salon. Together, in 2009, we opened Canine to Five, a puppy socialization and daycare facility dedicated to giving pets the care they deserve.

However, in 2010, we experienced a heartbreaking loss, losing both of our Golden Retrievers to cancer and an unknown illness at the same time. This tragedy propelled us toward a holistic approach to pet care. We became committed to improving the lives of pets through high-quality food, supplements, and products that support overall well-being.

As we focused on offering the best natural foods and treats in our retail store, we realized a significant gap: finding an effective, holistic pet shampoo for dogs with skin problems was incredibly challenging. Skin issues can take a long time to heal, especially when treated holistically. When working with veterinarians, dogs often need to be washed weekly or more, adding stress for both pets and their owners.

Driven by our passion for pet care, we set out on a mission to create grooming products that are not only pet-friendly but also people- and planet-friendly. Our FOAM-FREE shampoo was born from this mission, designed to make bath time easier for dogs and their owners while reducing stress and saving significant amounts of water with every wash.

We believe our foam-free formula helps create a more enjoyable, eco-conscious grooming experience for everyone involved—because we know that healthier pets lead to happier homes.
