In-Depth Review
Why Paws & Planet is the Ethical Choice for Your Home
If you’ve recently switched to a plant-based lifestyle, you’re likely scrutinizing every product in your home. Paws & Planet was created by a veterinarian and a chemist to fill the gap between high-performance cleaning and pet safety. Their Dish Soap & Tablet Duo is a two-in-one solution: a liquid soap for hand-washing and a pack of dissolvable tablets for your dishwasher. The liquid soap is made from coconut-derived surfactants, organic aloe vera, and chamomile extract, so it’s gentle on your hands and safe if your dog licks a plate. The tablets are phosphate-free, chlorine-free, and contain a bio-enzymatic booster that cuts through grease without leaving residue.
The packaging is plastic-negative: every bottle is made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, and the tablet refills come in compostable paper tubes. Paws & Planet offsets 200% of their plastic usage through Plastic Bank partnerships. They are a Certified B Corp, but we’re still waiting on the official certification (they applied in 2024).
This duo is especially popular on Amazon as a ‘Movers & Shakers’ product in the Dish Soap category, with a 4.7-star average from over 1,200 reviews. Users rave about the lavender-chamomile scent that doesn’t linger on dishes, and pet owners love that it doesn’t cause vomiting or skin irritation in their animals.
| Feature | Detail | |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid Soap Volume | 16 oz (makes 8 bottles when diluted? No, ready-to-use) | |
| Tablet Count | 30 tablets (plastic-free, individually wrapped in PVA-free film) | |
| Scents | Lavender & Chamomile (also available Unscented) | |
| Pet Safe | Yes – certified non-toxic by Pet Poison Helpline | |
| Plastic Packaging | 100% PCR bottle, compostable paper tube for tablets | |
| Carbon Offset | Climate Neutral certified, 200% plastic offset |
Paws & Planet sources their coconut oil from a smallholder cooperative in Sri Lanka that pays fair-trade wages. The aloe vera is grown in Mexico by a women-owned farm that uses regenerative agriculture. All ingredients are Non-GMO and vegan. The company donates 1% of revenue to the ASPCA.
How to Use
- Liquid soap: Use as you would any dish soap – a few drops on a sponge. Safe for hand-washing, not for dishwasher.
- Tablets: Drop one tablet into the main detergent compartment of your dishwasher. For best results, use with a rinse aid (Paws & Planet sells a pet-safe vinegar rinse).
Editor’s Note: This is our top pick for homes with pets or children. The liquid soap is also great as a hand soap and can be used to wash fruits and vegetables (rinse thoroughly). The tablets work well even in hard water—no film left on glasses.
Pros
- ✓Pet safe – no vomiting or skin irritation reported in dogs or cats
