Flags-12 points in all

3 flagged ingredients.

Avoid first. Each flag costs points in the score above; where a flag has an entry behind it, it links to the evidence.

Caution-4

Synthetic fabric

Synthetic fibers shed microplastics, and a pet lies on this fabric and many lick or chew it; what that means for a pet's health is still an open question, and cotton, hemp, linen and wool avoid it.

Caution-4

Undisclosed material

The maker doesn't say what this part is made of, so there is nothing to look up; the flag is about the missing name, not a known hazard.

Caution-4

Repellent finish (chemistry not named)

A water-, stain- or oil-repellent finish whose chemistry the maker doesn't name. Finishes like this are often fluorinated, so it may contain PFAS; the flag is about the missing name, not a finding.

CTransparency

Best Friends by Sheri

Donut-shaped beds and blankets for dogs and cats. Graded from the 3 products of theirs in this catalogue, not from an audit of the company.

Names vegan polyester and poly filling on its Shag Fur donut bed, but its Lux Fur donut and Shag Fur throw say only "faux fur" and "vegan fur", without the fiber. The C grade takes 5 points off this product's score.

No independent testing on file.

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.

This page was corrected once.

  • Oct 26, 2026 Panel Score 83 → 79: added a caution for Synthetic fabric. The panel lists “Faux fur”, which is synthetic by definition. Since October 26, 2026 a synthetic fiber in the cover of a bed or in a blanket, the fabric a pet lies on, kneads, licks or chews, reads as a caution of its own, Synthetic fabric: synthetic fibers shed microplastics, and what that means for a pet’s health is still an open question. The filling’s fiber still isn’t named, so the caution for Undisclosed material stays, now for the filling alone, and so does the caution for Repellent finish.
