It’s National Dog Day—Let’s Celebrate with a Cleaner, Safer Home
Every year on 26th August, dog lovers across the UK and beyond come together to celebrate National Dog Day, a day dedicated to honouring our four-legged companions for their unconditional love, loyalty, and boundless joy.
Whether you’re a proud pet parent to a bounding Labrador, a snoozing Spaniel, or a rescue pup finding their forever home, there’s one thing all dog owners can agree on: dogs make life better and messier. From muddy paw prints to slobbery bowls and fur-covered dog beds, life with a dog is full of love and cleaning challenges.
That’s where Bio-D comes in. Our cleaning products are 100% safe to use around dogs, containing no harmful chemicals or artificial fragrances. They’re also plant-based, vegan, and biodegradable so you can clean your home without worrying about your pet’s health or the environment.
This National Dog Day, show your pup some extra care by creating a fresh, hygienic space they can thrive in.
Why Pet-Safe Cleaning Matters
Many mainstream household cleaning products contain harsh chemicals like ammonia, bleach, and synthetic scents, which can be harmful to pets. Dogs have more sensitive respiratory systems than humans and are known to lick floors, bowls, bedding, and paws, making chemical residue a serious health risk.
Symptoms of chemical exposure in dogs can include:
That’s why choosing pet-safe alternatives, like Bio-D’s natural cleaning range, is crucial. Our products are:
How to Clean Dog Bedding Safely
Dog beds are cosy havens, but they can also harbour dirt, fur, odours, bacteria, and even fleas if not cleaned regularly.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide:
Pro Tip: Use a protective dog bed liner to reduce the frequency of full washes and make weekly wipe-downs easier.
Cleaning Dog Bowls: Keep Germs and Slobber at Bay
Dog bowls may look clean, but they can harbour bacteria like E. coli and salmonella, especially if you feed wet food or raw diets. Regular cleaning is vital to prevent illness.
For Daily Cleaning:
Weekly Deep Clean:
Soak bowls in hot water and Bio-D All Purpose Sanitiser, which is BS EN 1276 accredited and highly effective at neutralising bacteria without harming pets. Rinse thoroughly before refilling with food or water.
Dog Friendly Floor Cleaning
Dogs spend most of their time on the floor, playing, snoozing, even licking surfaces, so it’s important your Floor Cleaner is pet safe.
Use Bio-D Concentrated Floor Cleaner to mop hard floors and wipe down skirting boards. It cuts through dirt and grease and is free from synthetic fragrances and harsh chemicals. Plus, it’s available in 7500ml and 5L sizes, perfect for refilling and reducing plastic waste.
How Often Should You Clean Dog Items?

| Food & Water Bowls | Daily |
| Dog Bed Covers | Every 1–2 weeks |
| Toys (soft) | Monthly or when soiled |
