Our Story


Petkin Inc. is an innovative California based consumer products company founded in 1989 on the key principle of making better products that are easier to use. Every product Petkin develops must pass two very simple yet important tests before ever being sold: one, is the quality of the product the best it can possibly be and two, is the product easy to use. Currently, Petkin offers an extensive line of easy to use pet care products all designed with quality and ease of use in mind. Here is where we began:





1988

It all started with our concept to create wipes for pets. We came up with the idea to combine the words "pet" and "napkin" and hence Petkin was born. Now that we had the name time to source and create the products...

1989

Our first product, individually wrapped single-use pet wipes are introduced. Further emphasizing convenience and ease of use, these instant bath wipes became a big hit with pet lovers.

1995

We expanded the line of Petkin products and freshened our look starting with offering the original brand of pet wipes in larger, easy-to-use containers.

2007

Just like our passion to keep pets clean and fresh, it was time to clean-up our look! We introduced our modernized cat & dog along with an updated package design and new Petkin logo.

2011

One of our proudest moments came with the introduction of our new line of 100% organically grown bamboo products. These eco-friendly and sustainably harvested products are good for your pets and good for the planet!

2012

We are dedicated to providing the best product for you & your pet's needs and have designed these easy to recognize symbols to communicate our commitment to quality!

2015

We've continued to expand our line of easy to use products over the years and now offer a broad range of products from shampoos and fragrances, dental care products, waste clean up products & more!

2017

We expanded even further by developing full lines with multiple products. One of the first was Milkbath available in wipes, sprays and shampoos!

2018

We continued to add to our natural bamboo line offering eco-friendly brushes, shampoo, wastebags and more! We also launched a full line of Big n' Thick Petwipes in a variety of scents and benefits.

2019

New look and some great new products. We cleaned up the packaging to focus on the benefits, to do this we designed these fun easy to read icons and also added a line of value sized shampoos.

2020

To keep pets even more clean we launched a line of Germ Removal shampoo and petwipes, in a convenient travel size and all the way up to 200 count value packs.

2021

Modern life can be overwhelming – even for our furry friends. That's why we introduced PETKIN HEMP, our line of soothing pet care products. Infused with Hemp Oil (100% THC-free), these shampoos, sprays, and wipes come in calming lavender and soothing vanilla scents. A natural way to clean, condition and help your pet feel relaxed and refreshed.

2022

Our commitment to sustainability grew, so did our innovation. Introducing our PLANT-BASED PETWIPES – where effectiveness meets environmental responsibility. USDA certified plant-based fabric delivers the strength needed with the gentleness pets deserve. Every wipe represents our belief that caring for pets shouldn't come at the planet's expense.

2023

Our DOO-OVER line uses yesterday's plastic waste to create today's pet care products. Made with recycled plastic, these products tackle the less glamorous side of pet ownership while giving plastic a second chance. It's our way of cleaning up after our pets while helping to clean up the planet.

2024

We've expanded and enhanced our Dental Care line with easy-to-use, higher performing products that keep a pets mouth cleaner and healthier. We've revolutionized pet care products with our ground breaking Fingertip and Glove Wipes. We've put the power of grooming at your fingertips – literally. Slip on these ingenious wipes to gently clean ears, eyes, teeth, and body. Sometimes the gentlest touch makes the biggest difference.

Some messes need a bigger solution, and we deliver that with our BIG N'THICK PET WIPES. These heavy-duty, oatmeal-enriched wipes are best at cleaning dirt and odor. Scents in vanilla, lavender, or unscented, each wipe tackles tough clean-ups with ease. We doubled down on convenience with our 2-pack keeping you prepared for life's messier moments. When it comes to a fresh, clean pet, we believe in going big or going home.
