Flags-8 points in all

2 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

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

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.

The brand behind it.

BTransparency

Tuft + Paw

Wet cat food and tofu litter, alongside cat furniture, beds and blankets. Graded from the 10 products of theirs in this catalogue, not from an audit of the company.

Names the meat in both cat foods and every litter ingredient, and says each food batch goes to a third-party lab; one of the two foods carries a natural-flavor catch-all, and its cat bed, window hammock and blanket leave the foam, the felt, the faux fur and the suction cups unnamed. The B grade takes 2 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.

This page was corrected once.

  • Oct 26, 2026 Panel Score 90 → 86: added a caution for Synthetic fabric. The panel lists “Faux shearling wool cover” and “Ultrasuede base”: faux shearling is synthetic by definition, and Ultrasuede is a microfiber suede. 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 foam’s polymer still isn’t named, so the caution for Undisclosed material stays, now for the foam alone.
