Natural Zinc-Free Sun Cream for Pets 50g

• Natural sun protection for your pet (cats and dogs)

• Zinc-free

• SPF 15 protects 94% of the UV lights

• Safe if ingested

Apply to the nose, ear tips, skin surrounding the lips, and any area where skin is exposed to the sun, particularly pink skinned areas. Re-apply after swimming.

Cats need sun protection too. This natural, Zinc-free Sun Cream is perfect for those sun loving cats as Dr Zoo uses edible oils along with Titanium Dioxide to provide sun protection as an alternative to Zinc, which is toxic for cats. Cats that have light coloured noses, thin or missing fur, or that just love to sun-bake are most in need of sun protection because pets can get sunburnt just like us.

The perfect companion to your cat adventures when you are training your cat to walk on a harness and leash outdoors.

Can my cat get sunburnt?

Yes, even when fur and pigmented skin act as a natural barrier to sunlight and the harmful effects of UV radiation. White cats with pink skin and some cats with naturally thin fur are more at risk. Mainly the nose and ears can be affected by sun damage on any cats. White cats have a higher incidence of developing dangerous tumours, cancer (squamous cell carcinomas) as a result of excessive exposure to UV and it is important these cats are kept mainly indoors during the middle of the day when the sun is strongest.

Is this Sun Cream broad-spectrum? 

Yes, Dr Zoo use Titanium Dioxide which is considered broad-spectrum. 

When packing our orders, we use FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified Managed Plantations tissue paper that is 100% biodegradable, compostable and acid-free.

When we ship your harness we use compostable mailers for all of our orders. Hero Packaging 'HEROPACKS' are made from mainly corn starch and PBAT (a compostable ingredient which bonds the renewable ingredients together). 

To date, Hero Packaging have saved over 16,000,000 plastic mailers from entering the planet and we are proud to be a part of that statistic!

We also use a direct thermal printer to print all of our shipping labels, meaning no ink or toner! Our labels are also compostable (including the adhesive being non-toxic, so safe for your pets to sniff!)

Our Hero Packaging Mailers have a reusable strip, so be sure when you unwrap your parcel to cut nicely along the dotted line in case of return, you can reuse the mailer bag.

For every order we include a set of Instructions as well as a Thank You Card. We use Canva for our print orders, meaning every order we place with Canva, they plant a tree – it is a simple idea with a big impact.

By the end of 2022, Canva will have planted 3.5 million trees in the ground, focusing on native restoration which mimics what a native forest would do. Tree planting sites are selected based on the degree of deforestation and poverty in the region. Canva is committed to working alongside local villages and communities to achieve a successful and longstanding reforestation effort. By creating jobs such as Planters and Site Managers Canva also help to generate social benefits for the local communities.

We put our money where our mouth is, meaning we donate $1 for every harness sold to WIRES for the good of the Australian native wildlife.

Every year, WIRES receives thousands of calls for advice concerning interactions between domestic pets and native animals. Sadly, this is a common cause of injury in suburban areas and if the injured native animal is not immediately taken to receive veterinary care, the consequences can be fatal. Luckily, there are some precautions that can be taken to help minimise the risks of wildlife being injured, and to avoid unpleasant situations for your family pet. WIRES strongly promotes responsible pet ownership which is key to a safer environment for wildlife and for domestic pets. You can learn more through the link here.  

WIRES have many initiatives including National Grants, Emergency funding, Landcare Alliance, Specialised projects (more recently Koalas and Native Animal Disease Research), Conservation projects and the Water for Wildlife initiative.

Through social media, there is even more visibility with the reality that cat rescue groups are facing. As a charity, cat rescue groups depend on community support to cover the costs of running the rescue. The costs include professional care and advisory staff; veterinary expenses including health checks, desexing and any necessary treatments or surgery; vaccinations; microchips; kitty litter as well as costs to promote their adoptions and welfare work plus administration costs.

Cat Harness Australia makes regular donations to a variety of cat rescue groups within Australia. We also exclusively wholesale to rescue groups and small businesses. By rescue groups having being a stockist of our products, their profit allows them fund the costs of their rescue.

If you are the owner of a licensed cat rescue group within Australia and you would like to become a stockist of our products, please reach out to us via the link here.

We understand the stress of ordering online and not knowing when your package will arrive. Rest assured we will be dispatching all orders within 24 hours of being placed and provide you will full tracking details as well as open support for any queries you may have on when your order will arrive.

We hope you love your Cat Harness Australia purchases. However, if you're not entirely satisfied with your purchase, we're here to help you.

For all shipping and deliveries information 

Our Hero Packaging Mailers have a reusable strip, so be sure when you unwrap your parcel to cut nicely along the dotted line in case of return, you can reuse the mailer bag.

What happens to our exchange size harnesses?

Ever wondered when you exchange an item where does it go? We have made sure that if return shipping isn't a viable option that we put the trust in our customers to donate the incorrect size to a local cat rescue group. This recycling initiative helps make sure the barely-used cat harness is going to a good home and also encouraging future cat pawrents to walk their future fur babies. Once you have donated the harness onwards we will refund you your harness cost so you can place an order for the correct size.

If there are no local cat rescue groups near you, no worries! You can always return back to us at Cat Harness Australia HQ and we will do the donating on your behalf.

The current rescue group receiving our HQ returns are Kitten Sanctuary. If you are a rescue and would like to sign up to be apart of our harness donation program, please email us at hello@catharnessaustralia.com.au
