We’re Here to Kill Fleas…Not the Environment

Receiving and applying your Itch flea treatment monthly, all year round, is absolutely essential to ensure that your pets are flea free, forever.

So, it’s important that we package our products as sustainably as possible because we send out a lot of them!

Our new and improved treats pouches are now 100% recyclable, ink included! We’re also working hard to reduce the waste in our monthly deliveries. Your Itch goodies will now arrive either in:

a cardboard box which can be recycled at home and is made of recycled materials or
our brand-new mailer bags which are made from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and contain recycled materials. They’re fully recyclable, waterproof, strong, and of course – still personalised!

Our new bags are much smaller in size and weight than the cardboard boxes which means that we can fit more packages in our courier’s lorries. This means they have a more efficient journey to your doorstep, reducing our carbon footprint. They can be recycled at large supermarkets, or check your local council for kerbside recycling.

That's not all though...

If there’s a way to make our impact on the planet even smaller, you can bet we’re on a mission to sniff it out.

That's why we are now also asking that our team here at Itch play their part to minimise our impact on the environment in order to leave a better world for future generations (pup and human alike!) Read all about what we've been up to here:

OUR OFFICE
The Itch Green Team is on a mission to minimise waste and reduce our carbon footprint at Itch HQ. Here are some of our initiatives: strict recycling policies, eco-friendly office supplies, energy saving light bulbs, and much much more.
LOCAL CLEAN UPS
Spending time together while doing our part to help clean up parks, forests and beaches? We’d call that a win win.
ITCH MARKETPLACE
We’re proud to say we’ve just launched our own team marketplace where colleagues can sell, borrow or give items to promote a circular economy.

Get rid of fleas and stop them coming back!

Flea infestations can be a nightmare, but with the right approach, you can take control and rid your pets and home of these bothersome pests. Remember that fleas can be persistent, so patience and regular treatment will be your best friends! By addressing both your pet and their environment, you can ensure a flea-free and comfortable living space for both your furry companion and your family.

What Your Pet's Sleeping Position Really Means

According to our research, two thirds (65%) of British pet owners will share the bed with their cat or dog tonight. It’s understandable. It can be hard to resist those puppy-dog eyes, or that loving purr when our pet's come to settle in for the night.

But did you know that by observing our pet's sleeping position, we can tell a lot about the special pet-owner bond we share with them?

We wanted to know more, so asked 2,000 Brits to reveal the 10 most common sleeping positions we adopt with our four-legged friends, and enlisted the help of leading animal behaviourist, Professor Peter Neville to give us insight into their meaning.
