Flags-4 points in all

1 flagged ingredient.

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.

Hepper

Cat beds, bowls, scratchers, toys and fountains. Graded from the 2 products of theirs in this catalogue, not from an audit of the company.

Not enough to grade: we hold 2 panels of theirs. Both name the molded EVA foam shell and the poly fabrics; the Pod's legs and rubber pads are not named. The C grade takes 5 points off this product's score.

Independent testing & contaminants

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.

We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data.

What we look for

This page was corrected once.

Oct 26, 2026 Panel Score 91 → 87: added a caution for Synthetic fabric. The panel lists “Poly fabric laminated to both sides of the shell” and “Sherpa fleece liner (poly)”. 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 EVA foam shell inside isn’t counted.

Holding the package and it reads differently? Disputes come straight to us, and any score we change is logged publicly on the corrections page.
