Ever since getting my little Rufus, I have been adamant about documenting cool & helpful finds in the dog world to help dog owners like me, and today I am back to talk about my newest discovery: Buddy Wipes! These wipes are a game changer & I am going to tell you all about the benefits I’ve personally experienced with Rufus, since using them.
Reason 1: Health Benefits
Most importantly, Buddy Wipes have been a great preventative measure to ensure my dog stays healthy. I didn’t realize how important it was to wipe my dog down daily to avoid certain health issues. This is because dogs usually lick to clean themselves, ingesting all kinds of dirt and toxins. Their formula is very safe as it is made of 100% natural ingredients. I no longer have to worry about the chemicals that can be found in other dog cleaning supplies. The wipes are also pH-balanced for dogs’ skin, making it the much safer alternative over baby wipes (which are made for human skin). In fact, the pH-balance of dogs’ skin compared to human skin is different.
Reason 2: Affordability
I was surprised when I saw how affordable these premium dog wet wipes are! Usually, products that are all-natural & this high quality come with a premium. However, you can buy a 4-pack for just $40, averaging out to only $10 per pack! All packs come with 100 wipes as well, providing sufficient quantity to allow you to wipe your dog daily.
Reason 3: Convenience
Finally, the packs that the Buddy Wipes come in are so convenient! I’m always running around, so having something so portable is very helpful! I can stuff it in a backpack, a glovebox, or even just carry it on walks with Rufus.
Overall, I have nothing but positive things to say and if you’re looking to keep your pet’s hygiene and health in check, all at a great price, this is the product for you!

What You Need to Know About Allergies
Allergies in your furry friend differ from allergies seen in humans. Generally, a dog’s allergies are triggered by dead skin, dander, pollen, and dust, which ultimately makes the immune system react abnormally. Environmental allergens such as pollen fall on your dog’s fur, ears, and the pads of their paws which then can be absorbed into the skin. As a result, your dog may turn to lick, chew or scratch themselves to ease the irritation, leading to itchy or watery eyes, runny nose, or rashes.
The Secret Weapon in Treating Your Dog’s Allergies
Taking care of a dog with allergies can be a long road but the first step is to wipe away any pesky allergens, like pollen, grass, or dust in the area. Lifestyle changes can be a burden on owners and their pets, that’s why Buddy Wipes always comes in handy! Make sure to look for pet wipes that have gentle ingredients such as aloe - it is also really important that they are hypoallergenic. Buddy Wipes cover all bases with a wipe that is hypoallergenic, all-natural & free of alcohol and chemical detergents. It is important to use Buddy Wipes after your dog comes in from walking or playing outside. This way you can get to any harmful toxins they pick up while at the park where they love to sniff flowers, grass, and even other dogs! Buddy Wipes’ soothing formula & gentle touch helps to target hotspots on your dog’s skin, by moisturizing and cleaning the area immediately. They also have the added benefit of maintaining a fresh smelling and shiny coat.
The Bottom Line
Handling your dog’s allergies is an ongoing process that requires consistent attention. Buddy Wipes are the safest way to avoid these allergens without frequent baths & visits to the vet!
Instead, using Buddy Wipes can provide immediate relief while controlling your dog’s discomfort.
My little Carla goes #2 A LOT. I’ve always tried to help her clean herself, especially around her bum, but I could never find the best supplies to use. At a certain point, I would just wait until her monthly bath, to clean it properly. This all changed at my trip to the vet where I was made aware that extensive buildup of fecal matter in the hair around her butt can cause severe health issues.
My vet warned that it is also very uncomfortable for my dog & can cause unpleasant smells. Like many people, I was not wiping his bum down daily. My vet recommended using Buddy Wipes for frequent, convenient cleaning everyday.
My story aside, I am sure you are all still asking; “Do I really need to wipe my dog?” “What’s the worst that could happen if I don’t wipe?”. These are great questions which I had for my veterinarian too. Aside from the fact that your dog is in fact dirty and you are going to have to deal with the smell, all that fecal build-up is incredibly irritating and painful for your pet. If you don’t wipe them down consistently, they may even develop anal-sac disease. The telltale signs for this is the red hot swelling around the anus.. If left untreated, your dog can get infected which is expensive to treat and very painful for your doggo.
The Big Picture
All these potential health problems frightened me, but ever since I started using Buddy Wipes I have to say that Carla and I couldn’t be happier. Carla smells nicer and seems happier. No more scooting her butt all around the house to remove pieces of fecal matter from the fur around her butt!
Now, at the end of everyday, I just pull out a wipe and wipe away any dirt or feces I see. The thickness & durability of the wipes make it so easy to capture any pieces without ripping. I owe it all to Buddy Wipes!
Baby wipes contain various alcohols & propylene glycol, a chemical that is not made for dogs’ skin. You see, human skin has a higher pH balance than dogs. Therefore, it is important to use products made specifically for dogs. Buddy Wipes are pH-balanced for dogs’ skin.
They are made with earthy, 100% natural ingredients and are far more durable, absorbent, and effective for dogs. It is the safest way to clean your dog.
It used to be hard to find something affordable to clean my dog without having to bathe him frequently, until I found Buddy Wipes. These wipes checked all of my boxes and seriously changed my life. Highly recommend them to anyone that wants to invest in their dog’s health.

The Dangers of Dirt & Toxins
The 3 most common toxins found in today’s environment are pesticides, parasites, and pollen. Pesticides & parasites latch on to dog’s fur, leading to redness, irritation, & potentially infection. On the other hand, pollen causes allergic reactions & the consequences of dog allergies. Worst of all, these toxins can be found anywhere! The most common pesticide that dogs pick up are Organophosphates which are organic phosphate compounds commonly found in lawn and garden products such as insecticides. Additionally, pesticides can easily contaminate soil and dirt, becoming home to parasites such as roundworms and whipworms. Dogs can easily pick up these pesticides in their coat and paws that may not be visible until your next grooming appointment.
What You Can Do to Prevent Your Dog from Eating Dirt
There is not enough time nor is it healthy to bathe your dog daily to wash off dirt. I found the most convenient solution was using pet wipes and the ones that worked the best for me were Buddy Wipes! Buddy Wipes work great to conveniently clean off all the dirt & grime on my dog’s coat.
Use these wipes regularly to remove toxins in your dogs’ paws, body, & surrounding sensitive areas. Buddy Wipes acts as the best precaution to keep your fur baby safe at all costs.

Hear it from our Pet Parents
“I have three dogs, all of which love to accompany me on my road trips. Pet wipes are always the key to keeping my car and my pups clean at all times. Before using Buddy Wipes, the pet wipes I used had a horrible lid that would make all the moisture spill out leaving me with dry wipes. It was extremely frustrating. Using Buddy Wipes has been a lifesaver! From the strong clasping lid, to the easy to pull out wipes, it is so easy to clean them and the wipes stay wet forever!”
“No more sticky lids that lose the ability to close the packaging a week in. The strong lid of Buddy Wipes ensures you can use each and every last wipe”
“Pet wipes have always been a necessity in my house to help out with the flaky skin on my golden retriever. I prefer taking them in a dog bag alongside some poop bags, but the wipes I was using before had obnoxious packaging that was too difficult and overwhelming to carry. My wife introduced me to Buddy Wipes which has the most compact and efficient packaging I have seen. All the moisture is retained and the wipes easily dispense from the pack!”

Walking our dogs is one of the cornerstones of all our daily routines. As much as I am sure we have all come to love this part of our day, let’s face it, sometimes things get messy. Your dog happens upon a muddy trail, goes for a roll in the dog park, or otherwise becomes covered in dirt. All the dirt and debris can be impossible to spot on your dog at times, or even after cleaning you just can’t ever seem to get it all off. When you cannot fully clean your furry friend, he will likely take it upon himself to get clean, licking the dirt away (gross...and dangerous). Doing this is extremely unsafe since these toxins are bad for your dog’s teeth, stomach, and overall, wellbeing.
Dangerous Dirt?
Dogs will sniff, dig, and roll about at each opportunity they get while walking outside and investigating their surroundings. As a result, dirt & grime accumulates in their fur. This build-up is often not dealt with until their monthly bath or next trip to the groomer. This is way too long to wait before cleaning your pet. In this time, parasites have the opportunity to cling onto your dog’s fur and breed. All that soil also includes poisons that are not apparent to the naked eye. In lieu of consistent cleaning your dog will try to lick himself clean, making it very easy for them to ingest these dangerous toxins. In the long run, it can also cause tooth and stomach damage, pesticide exposure, and intestinal problems.
How to Fix it?
My dog constantly gets dirty and it drives me insane. That is, until I discovered Buddy Wipes to keep my pet clean and healthy. Using Buddy Wipes daily allows you to remove the dirt build-up and prevent the temptation for them to lick themselves clean. This all-natural cleaning solution can remove even the finest dirt remnants from your dog’s coat, making him shiny & clean.
