We're not your average dog shampoo... or stain remover... or ear cleaner- you get the point.
We want you to expect more for your pet and for yourself. You should feel good about the products you purchase. Skout's Honor goes above and beyond from our industry leading technology to the animals we feed with your help. Being a Certified B Corp is our promise to continue striving for the best in every way.
What is a B Corp?
The B Corp certification isn't a marketing badge you can buy, it's earned. Companies go through a rigorous, independent assessment of how they treat their workers, their community, their customers, and the environment. To pass, you have to prove that you're an environmentally and socially conscious company, from your supply chain to your packaging to how you treat the people on your team.
Once certified, you're required to consider the impact of every decision on all stakeholders, not just shareholders. That's the part most companies skip. We didn't want to.
For us, this certification doesn't change anything we've been doing but rather validates the hard work we've been putting in since 2015. It's the minimum we've committed to, and we're always looking for ways to raise it.
With every purchase, we are able to give food to dogs and cats in need. Simple as that. When you choose Skout's Honor your purchase goes further.
So you get a better product for your pet and feed one in need at the same time- win, win!
This is what being a socially conscious company looks like in practice. Not a single campaign or a one-time donation, but a built-in commitment that runs through every sale, every day.
"B"-hind the Scenes:
Being an environmentally and socially conscious company means our choices have to hold up to scrutiny, not just look good on a label (even though that is one good-looking "B"). So we've made real changes:
Ingredients you can trust. We formulate our products with industry-leading technology and proven holistic ingredients that put your pets, family, and home first. We skip the harsh chemicals and unnecessary additives so you don't have to worry.
Packaging that pulls its weight. We're constantly working to reduce plastic, increase recyclability, and cut waste across our supply chain.
A team that's treated right. Fair wages and safe, respectful workplaces are the minimum for us. Our employees must feel supported and cared for or we're not doing our job right. And yes, that includes the office dogs too. (Even if they pee on the floor every now and then... luckily we've got something for that.)
Transparency, even when it's inconvenient. We're always going to tell you the honest version of how something's made. Not everyone is going to understand why we think live topical probiotics are better for your dog's skin microbiome than whatever BS is trendy to say- and that's okay!
"Do nothing if not better" is one of our core values, and it bleeds into everything we do.
The Paw Pledge
Together, we feed an animal in need with every purchase.
Caring for pets shouldn't stop at the ones lucky enough to have a home already. That's the thinking behind our Paw Pledge.
Certified B Corp
Why Does this Matter to You?
You don't need a lecture on sustainability, and we're not going to give you one. But you deserve to know that the brand you're bringing into your home is one that's been checked, verified, and held accountable for its claims.
When you choose Skout's Honor, you're choosing a company that.
- Meets rigorous, independent standards for environmental and social responsibility
- Puts a portion of every purchase toward feeding shelter pets through our Paw Pledge Program
- Keeps working to do better, even after certification
It's where we've been, where we are now, and where we're going. Helping you to expect more from a pet product.
What's Next?
Certification doesn't mean we're done. It means we've set a bar, and we plan to keep clearing it. As our company grows, so does our responsibility to the pets we serve, the people we employ, and the planet we all share.
You and your pet deserve a brand that takes that seriously. So we do better.
