Toe BeansĀ® began with loss ā the quiet, aching kind that lingers in the corners of your home. After saying goodbye to a beloved cat, we started noticing what most pet parents never see: everyday pet items made with synthetic fabrics, chemical preservatives, and globally sourced materials whose origins were impossible to trace.
Discovering that many imported cat trees are built from chemical-laden particleboard, or that some ānaturalā treats contain preservatives banned in baby food, changes something in you.
What started as heartbreak became a promise: to create products that are gentle, transparent, and crafted from materials weād want in our own homes ā clean, honest, and safe.
Itās why we handcraft cat houses in the USA with verifiable, responsible materials. And why our Momma Knows BestĀ® Organics line is built on certified ingredients rather than marketing language.
A customer once wrote, āFor the first time in years, I donāt worry about what my cat is breathing.ā Those words continue to guide our work.
Why it matters: Your home shapes your petās entire world ā the soft places they rest, the corners they nap in, the quiet routines you share. Clean materials honor that world.
Sadly, most pet products in the U.S. are mass-manufactured overseas, where low cost often comes before wellbeing. That can mean VOCs, phthalates, synthetic dyes, and hidden ingredients woven into items pets live with every day.
We chose a different path. Traceable materials and small batch manufacturing ā allowing us to inspect, adjust, and protect quality. Every product design and manufacturing decision centers on health, not trends.
But you donāt have to take our word. Our work speaks for itself. Take a quick glance at our online store and discover new standards of whatās possible for your furry children when it comes to exceptional quality.
You may be moved to discover how much tenderness lives in the things your pet touches. Our cat furniture begins with FSC-certified woodānot because itās fashionable, but because the air your pet breathes should feel as gentle as the love you give them.
Our cat beds are sewn from OEKO-TEXĀ® certified cotton flannel, soft like a favorite childhood blanket, and filled with GOTS-certified organic wool stuffing that warms without chemicals or compromise. And our dog & cat brushes use natural fibers chosen for the way they glide across your petās skinālike a small, reassuring āIām here.ā
Every material is a quiet promise. Every detail, a small act of love for the soul sleeping in your home.
Why it matters: Products built with intention carry a different kind of safety ā the kind you feel when your pet settles into something made with care.
Five values shape our work ā not because they sound good, but because your pet deserves a world built from gentleness and truth.
Radical Transparency: Your pet lives close to the ground ā to blankets, beds, toys, bowls. You should always know what those things are made of. Thatās why even our simplest items, from comforting cat essentials to everyday dog supplies, begin with open materials and honest sourcing.
Health-First Design: No harsh scents that linger in the air they breathe. No coatings that touch their skin. No hidden ingredients. Just clean choices ā especially in the items within our USDA Organic Pet Supplies ā because health starts with the things we touch every day.
U.S.-Made Craftsmanship: Real hands. Real materials. Real accountability. When something is made close to home, so is the care behind it.
Sustainability: Your petās life is full of joy and motion, and their world deserves to be protected. So we choose renewable fibers, minimal waste, and gentle processes that carry kindness forward.
Compassion: Itās the heart behind every decision. The whisper beneath every design. The reason we build each product as if it were meant for the pet curled up beside us.
Why it matters: Because your petās life is shaped by the things you choose ā and those choices should always feel like love.
Toe BeansĀ® began with a U.S.-based team asking a question the industry wasnāt ready for:
āWhy arenāt pet products held to the same safety, sourcing, and transparency standards as products made for the people who love them?ā
When the answers never came, we created a new category ourselves.
Today, Toe BeansĀ® stands at the forefront of clean-label pet care ā defining what safer, transparent, and truly accountable manufacturing should look like. Our team leads this standard, and we partner only with growers and makers who can meet it.
We partner with:
These are only representative examples. As we continue to develop and launch new non-toxic, planet-nurturing, and third-party-certified dog and cat products, our network of vetted partners grows strategically. No partner is added unless they can operate within the clean-label standards we established.
Why it matters: Because Toe BeansĀ® doesnāt just follow safer manufacturing trends ā we set the benchmark for them. When you choose a Toe BeansĀ® product, youāre choosing the original clean-label standard in pet care: transparent sourcing, verifiable materials, and uncompromising accountability from start to finish.
Every Toe BeansĀ® collection began as a solution to a safety problem in the industry:
None of our products are created to follow trends ā only to fix what isnāt good enough.
Why it matters: Everything your pet touches becomes part of their story. Intentional products protect that story. These choices guide not only what we make ā but the safety standards, certifications, and materials behind each piece.
At Toe Beans, we follow a simple principle:Ā transparent pricing for truly non-toxic, U.S.-made pet products.
Because we manufacture in our own American facility ā controlling every material, every process, and every quality check ā our costs remain consistent year-round.
We donāt inflate our prices to create the illusion of discounts, and we refuse to participate in sales tactics that compromise clarity or integrity.
Our everyday prices accurately reflect what goes into our products:
While weĀ do not engage in routine seasonal sales, weĀ occasionally and very sparinglyĀ offerĀ small, limited-time promotions. These are rare by design, and they never undermine our fair-pricing standards.
We also prefer a more controlled and ethical approach to discounts:
The one regular exception to this policy is our 15% discount for seniors and our everyday heroes, which is offered year-round.
Pet products in the U.S. operate under surprisingly loose safety oversight. A label such as ānaturalā or āeco-friendlyā doesnāt prevent a manufacturer from using chemical adhesives, synthetic dyes, industrial fragrances, or material blends that shed microplastics into the air a pet breathes daily.
When you learn that many imported cat trees are built using formaldehyde-based resins ā or that certain āgourmetā treats rely on preservatives banned in human infant food ā trust in the broader industry quickly erodes.
Toe BeansĀ® was created as a response to that problem.
Because we directly manufacture most of the products sold on our website, we donāt hope for safety ā we engineer it. Every component, every process, every material is selected and controlled under a clean-label standard we developed ourselves.
Youāll see this standard applied across our cat and dog supplies ā from the way our U.S.-made designs avoid VOC-heavy materials to the certified organic botanicals used in our Momma Knows BestĀ® line.
A pet parent once told us, āI can finally breathe knowing my home is safe for my cat again.ā
Thatās the measure we aim for: outcomes you can feel, not claims you have to decode.
Why it matters: A petās world is defined by the materials around them. When those materials are clean, traceable, and held to real standards, everything in their daily life becomes safer.
We exclude any material that introduces unnecessary risk to a petās long-term wellbeing or to the indoor environment they depend on. This includes but itās not limited to:
That's why:
We donāt avoid these materials because they are trendy to avoid ā we exclude them because clean-label principles demand it.
Why it matters: Every eliminated irritant is a reduced burden on your petās skin, lungs, and long-term health.
Yes ā and ācertifiedā matters. Our organic consumables are 100% USDA Certified Organic. Not āorganic-inspired,ā and don't use loopholes often seen in imported goods.
The USDA Organic certification ensures:
This standard applies to our:
One customer told us her senior catās digestive issues eased within weeks of switching to our organic cat grass. Clean inputs lead to cleaner outcomes ā biologically and behaviorally.
Why it matters: What your fur children consume shapes their immune system, gut stability, skin health, and resilience over time. USDA organic certification isnāt aesthetic ā itās protective.
Certifications eliminate ambiguity in an industry overflowing with unregulated terms. The standards that genuinely safeguard pets include:
For a deeper breakdown, visit our pet supply certifications page.
Why it matters: Certifications turn marketing language into measurable truth. They allow you to verify, not trust blindly.
Sadly, across much of the pet industry, manufacturing happens behind a curtain. Raw materials shift without disclosure. Critical raw materials change based on cost. Synthetic coatings may appear in one batch and disappear in the next. When production is outsourced overseas, the pet parent has no meaningful visibility.
Toe BeansĀ® was created to bring that visibility back.
By directly manufacturing more than 95% of the products sold on our website in the United States, we control the factors that matter most: what materials come into the workshop, how theyāre processed, which chemicals are excluded, and how the final product is inspected.
Small-batch production is our clean-label backbone ā it lets us verify, not just trust, that every item entering your home meets the standards we set for our own pets.
Why it matters: When you eliminate the unknowns of mass overseas manufacturing, you eliminate the health risks that hide inside them.
Local production gives us what overseas facilities cannot provide: real-time oversight.
That means we can validate incoming materials, document air-quality standards during finishing, audit chemical-avoidance protocols, and maintain traceability for every batch. Nothing moves forward without documentation and compliance.
This clean-label manufacturing approach is reflected in the organic ingredients we source for our entire line of USDA organic pet supplies, where certification pathways require verification at every stage ā from the soil the plants grow in to the packaging that leaves our facility.
Why it matters: Youāre not relying on assumptions. Youāre relying on a system designed to prevent shortcuts.
While most of our products are made in-house, we also partner with specialized artisans whose expertise complements our own.
Each must meet strict clean-label criteria, including material integrity, controlled manufacturing environments, ethical labor practices, and transparent documentation. Sometimes we even provide our own raw materials.
For example, the organic herb growers behind our Momma Knows BestĀ® Organics line follow certified agricultural practices that align with the same standards we apply to our manufacturing floor.
Why it matters: Aligned partners mean consistent quality ā and consistent safety.
Particleboard is inexpensive because it's built from chemical binders, synthetic veneers, and mass-produced adhesives known to release VOCs.
These materials degrade, off-gas, and lower the air quality in the spaces where your pet naps, plays, and breathes.
We replace them with certified-safe materials, controlled finishing protocols, and documented clean-label standards ā the same principles guiding our chemical-avoidance approach in categories like our dog grooming supplies, where every brush, balm, or tool must be free from unnecessary additives or irritants.
Why it matters: Better materials mean cleaner air, safer rest, and fewer hidden risks in your petās everyday life.
Sustainability starts long before a product reaches your home. It begins with the materials we choose, the coatings we reject, the certifications we maintain, and the small-batch processes we use to keep waste low and transparency high.
Every Toe BeansĀ® product design begins with a simple question: āCan this be made safer ā for pets, for people, and for the planet?ā
That philosophy is reflected in our use of plant-based ingredients, certified organic botanicals, and gentle finishing methods. It also influences everyday essentials, from our USDA certified organic dog shampoos to our organic balms and botanical-based grooming supplies that honor both your petās skin and your homeās air quality.
Why it matters: Cleaner ingredients support healthier living ā for the fur family members who trust you and the environment you both share.
Synthetics often rely on petroleum, dyes, and chemical finishes designed to last ā but not necessarily designed to protect.
Bio-based materials feel different. They breathe better. They age with grace. And most importantly, they keep microplastics and unnecessary toxins out of your petās immediate environment.
Youāll see this philosophy in categories like our dog balms, where every ingredient is selected to nourish without relying on synthetic preservatives or fragrances. Also in our cat grass collection where 100% of the product is recyclable. We reinvented how pet parents bring indoors the outdoor enrichment of cat grass by developing a product that eliminates the need for planet-polluting plastics while providing a 100% organic experience for their beloved fur children.
Why it matters: Nature-made materials protect both your petās comfort and the integrity of the home they live in.
We operate on a principle of thoughtful production, which includes:
Why it matters: Waste reduction creates a lighter environmental footprint without sacrificing performance or safety.
Each brand within the toe beansĀ® family has a distinct purpose ā but all share the same clean-label philosophy: transparency, traceability, and ingredient integrity.
Why it matters: Different needs require different materials ā but every single product still adheres to the same clean-label standard.
āNaturalā is one of the most overused and misapplied words in the pet industry. This is a dangerous proposition as unscrupulous sellers use it to sell anything to the US pet parent under the ānaturalā disguise.
It can mean anything ā including products made with unverified dyes, pesticides, or imported ingredients with undisclosed origins. Momma Knows BestĀ® was designed as the antidote to this.
Every consumable and botanical in the line adheres to organic certification pathways and is supported by the same clean-label framework behind our USDA organic pet supplies.
From the growing standards to production techniques, everything is documented, certified, and traceable.
Why it matters: Truly organic ingredients support your petās health without introducing hidden chemicals into your home.
EarthCareĀ® blends artisanal work with safe bio-based material choices. Instead of nylon or synthetics, or chemical-dense composites or veneers, it prioritizes clean finishes, breathable components, and small-batch craftsmanship.
Each piece is designed to protect both your fur babyās air quality and your homeās environmental footprint.
This same design philosophy shows up across other categories, including dog toys, where our dog rope toys are made from biodegradable 100% certified biobased materials and chemical-safe US-grown cotton.
Why it matters: Safer construction leads to cleaner air, clean play time, and products that reflect real care ā inside and out.
It all stems from our vision: We want to be the world's #1 most trusted company for safe, non-toxic, planet and health-nurturing dog and cat products made in America.
This vision isnāt a slogan ā itās the standard that guides every brand we build.
To achieve it, every brand under the toe beansĀ® umbrella ā EarthCareĀ®, Momma Knows BestĀ®, American ArtisanĀ®, LanoraĀ®, and any future brand ā is developed on the exact same clean-label foundation. No exceptions. No alternative rules. No parallel standards.
We refuse to let any product line operate with different suppliers with different ingredient thresholds, or different safety expectations. Whether weāre sourcing certified organic botanicals, crafting grooming tools, or producing everyday essentials, every item must meet a unified set of requirements:
This unified standard ensures that a pet parent selecting an item from any toe beansĀ® brand is choosing something built with the exact same integrity and safeguards found in our USDA organic pet supplies or any other collection.
Why it matters: The pet industry is overwhelmingly fragmented. With millions of brands following their own definitions of āquality,ā leaving well-informed, health-conscious pet parents to sift through marketing claims, hidden ingredients, and inconsistent safety standards.
It shouldnāt take hours of research to protect the animal you love.
A unified philosophy eliminates that burden. When every toe beansĀ® brand operates under the same uncompromising clean-label framework, you gain a single, reliable expectation you can trust ā no second-guessing, no mixed standards, and no compromises across products or categories.
Education is one of the most empowering tools a pet parent can have.
Thatās why we break down complex topics ā from ingredient transparency to hidden manufacturing shortcuts ā into clear, accessible guidance. Our pet blog turns clean-label principles into practical, everyday knowledge so you can make confident, well-informed choices based on real evidence ā not marketing language.
Why it matters: We like to think of ourselves as a pet parent education company that happens to sell certifiably better dog and cat products. We believe better information leads to better decisions ā and a safer life for the furry companion who depends on you.
We explore wellness, safety, sustainability, nutrition, and behavioral insights among other topics ā all through a clean-label lens. Rather than repeating the same generic advice circulating online from non-authoritative sources, we go deeper into how materials, certifications, and production methods affect your petās health. As well as yours as collateral damage.
For dog parents, articles like My Dog Wonāt Stop Licking: Is It a Problem? explain how environmental triggers, product ingredients, and grooming materials can influence behavior and wellbeing.
For cat parents, pieces such as Do Cats Like Other Cats? break down emotional wellness, environmental stressors, and the role of safe enrichment.
Why it matters: We believe well-informed pet parents make better decisions. When you understand the why or what behind a behavior or a product, you gain control over what enters your petās world.
We teach a clean-label approach to reading and interpreting product information:
These skills help you quickly distinguish between genuinely safe products and those that only sound safe.
Why it matters: A few simple checks can prevent long-term exposure to hidden chemicals and low-integrity materials.
Because clean-label manufacturing only matters if pet parents understand what theyāre protecting their fur children from.
The pet industry is filled with vague claims, borrowed terminology, and āeco-friendlyā marketing language that rarely explains anything meaningful. When brands rely on unverified jargon or surface-level buzzwords, pet parents are left without the context they need to make safe, confident choices.
We refuse to participate in that āconfusion-by-designā strategy.
Education is built into every Toe BeansĀ® brand and product because we believe informed pet parents are empowered pet parents.
When we teach how materials are selected, how certifications work, how toxins hide in common products, and how manufacturing shortcuts affect the health of everyone at home, we give families the clarity the industry has long failed to provide.
This commitment to clear, accessible information also shows up in our accessibility page, ensuring every pet parent ā regardless of ability, device, or background ā can learn without barriers.
Why it matters: When education is part of the product experience, trust becomes effortless. Pet parents donāt have to guess, interpret, or hope ā they can understand exactly what enters their home and why itās safe.
Yes ā all U.S. orders ship for free, with no minimums, no spending thresholds, no bundle requirements, and zero fine print.
Whether youāre ordering a single balm or a full set of grooming tools, shipping is always on us. Our shipping policy explains everything clearly and transparently.
As you may know, this approach is rare in the pet industry.
Most major retailers advertise āfree shipping,ā but only if you reach a predetermined spending threshold ā a structure that often nudges pet parents into adding extra items they donāt truly need. Itās a clever retail tactic, but it doesnāt serve your pet or your wallet.
We believe shipping should follow the same values as our products: clean, honest, transparent and free from hidden conditions. No gimmicks. No psychological pressure. Just genuine free shipping ā every order, every time.
Why it matters: True free shipping restores your freedom of choice. It lets you buy what your pet actually needs ā not what an algorithm wants you to add to your cart. It keeps your budget in your hands and your peace of mind intact, reinforcing our commitment to making safe, conscious pet care easier, not harder.
We ship safely and quickly because we control the entire process ourselves. Since we manufacture almost all our products in the U.S. and keep inventory in our own fulfillment space, 95% of our orders ship same day ā with no overseas delays or third-party warehouses involved.
Every item is hand-packed with clean, recyclable materials and receives a final quality check before shipping.
Most pet-supply websites canāt offer this level of oversight. Many function as simple storefronts: no U.S. operations, no inventory, and no team behind the products. Orders are often drop-shipped by anonymous overseas suppliers the ābrandā never sees or touches.
You can often spot these ghost brands by checking their social media presence: thousands of followers but no real engagement, or a nearly empty feed with posts that feel like placeholders.
At toe beansĀ® we do the opposite. We design, manufacture, inspect, and ship everything ourselves ā from northern Virginia ā so you always know exactly who handled your order.
Full details are listed in our shipping policy.
Why it matters: Fast shipping only matters when itās safe, inspected, and trustworthy ā and thatās only possible when a real team stands behind every product that leaves the building.
We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, 30 days no questions asked return policy. Our return process is designed to be simple and frustration-free.
We outline all instructions and conditions in our return policy, which emphasizes fairness, clarity, and an easy customer experience.
Whether you ordered the wrong item or your pet needs a different size, we make returns straightforward.
Why it matters: A clear return process gives you the freedom to explore new products without worry.
Refunds follow the same transparent philosophy as our manufacturing and clean-label standards. We issue refunds quickly once the returned item has been received and verified, with all details provided in our refund policy.
Why it matters: Fast, direct handling ensures youāre never left wondering when your funds will be returned.
Our giveaways are a way to give back to the community that trusts us.
Each month, we feature thoughtfully curated bundles ā often including items like our organic botanicals or clean-label grooming essentials ā and anyone 18 and older residing in the United States can enter for a chance to win.
Past winners and current opportunities are shared transparently on our facebook page.
We keep the process simple: no forced sign-ups, no hidden conditions, and no āextra purchaseā tricks. Just an honest intention to give pet parents a chance to explore safer products.
Why it matters: Giving should feel good, not complicated ā and certainly not transactional.
We believe the people who serve our communities deserve recognition ā not just in words, but in meaningful, practical ways.
Thatās why we offer dedicated hero discounts for military members, veterans, first responders, teachers, medical professionals, and more.
These savings are available year-round through our hero discounts program.
There are no hoops to jump through, no rotating codes, and no gimmicks. Just simple, respectful support for the people who protect, teach, serve, and care for our communities every day.
Why it matters: Heroes give so much of themselves. Making safe, non-toxic products more accessible to them is one way we can give a little back.
Our rescue partnerships reflect our clean-label values. Instead of sending generic bulk items, we donate supplies that are genuinely safe for sensitive pets ā including organic botanicals and non-toxic grooming tools ā along with practical discounts that help shelters stretch their resources further.
We highlight many of these efforts on our rescue partnerships page so pet parents can learn how their purchases help support animals still waiting for a home.
Why it matters: Shelters operate with tight margins. When support includes clean, safe materials, it protects the pets who need it most.
Everything we donate or give away is intentionally chosen. We donāt hand off excess inventory or discontinued products ā and we never use donations as a marketing tactic.
Instead, we focus on items that nurture wellbeing: organic herbs that calm anxious cats, safe brushes that wonāt irritate shelter dogsā skin, and thoughtful care items that make daily routines easier for overworked staff.
We also make sure our educational resources ā including supportive articles on our blog ā are freely available to pet parents, fosters, and volunteers who want to deepen their understanding of safe, clean-label care.
Why it matters: Community support should feel meaningful, not performative. When generosity aligns with values, everyone benefits ā especially the pets who need it most.
Accessibility isnāt an afterthought for us ā itās a core part of our clean-label philosophy. A safe product doesnāt mean much if the path to understanding it is confusing or inaccessible.
Our website is built with clear structure, readable fonts, descriptive alt text, and intuitive mobile-first layouts designed for all abilities.
We outline our full accessibility approach on our accessibility page, and we update it continuously as our product lines evolve.
Why it matters: True transparency means removing barriers ā so every pet parent, on any device, can shop with clarity and confidence.
We prioritize clarity across every part of the site. That includes plain-language explanations, carefully structured pages, and easy-to-understand policies like our terms of service.
While many pet websites rely on complex, boilerplate text borrowed from generic templates, we write our policies intentionally ā in human language ā so nothing feels vague, legalistic, or hidden.
Why it matters: When information is easy to understand, you feel respected, not overwhelmed ā and trust grows naturally.
Customer care at toe beansĀ® is direct, personal, and U.S.-based.
When you reach out, youāre talking to a real human who knows the products, understands the materials, and can help you choose whatās safest for your pet. No outsourced scripts, no automated replies, no offshore call centers.
Our contact page makes reaching us simple, and our typical response times are fast ā because we believe support should feel like a conversation, not a ticket number.
Why it matters: Pets are family. When you need help, there should be a caring human on the other side ā not an algorithm.
We apply strict data-minimization principles: we only collect the information needed to fulfill your order and provide support.
Nothing is sold, shared with marketers, or circulated through data brokers. The details are outlined clearly in our privacy policy.
Why it matters: Your personal information deserves the same level of care and respect you expect for your pet ā safe, protected, and never misused.
All payments are processed through Shopifyās PCI-certified, encrypted checkout system, which prevents unauthorized access to your financial data.
Additional monitoring helps maintain security throughout the entire transaction. You can find more information in our terms of service.
Why it matters: Strong payment protection keeps your financial identity safe and your shopping experience worry-free.
We use customer data solely for order fulfillment, support, and essential website functions. We donāt track you across the internet, build advertising profiles, or use hidden third-party tracking tools.
If you ever want to view, edit, or delete your information, our privacy policy explains how to do so easily.
Why it matters: Your online experience shouldnāt follow you everywhere ā or turn into targeted ads you never asked for.
Our terms of service is intentionally written in plain, approachable language. It explains how orders are processed, how the website operates, and what protections apply to you as a customer. No vague clauses. No hidden fine print.
Why it matters: Clear terms protect your rights ā and help you understand exactly how your purchase is supported.
