Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Amphoteric surfactant) carries the heaviest documented hazard profile in this formula and sets the ceiling for the ingredient score.
Clean Wise scores conservatively where a printed ingredient has no reference record yet. This is a Clean Wise research gap, not a manufacturer failing.
Softeners are designed to deposit a cationic film that stays on fabric. Dog bedding holds that film against skin and coat.
Pods, sheets, wipes and concentrate bottles are swallowed by dogs. Storage matters as much as the formula.
Transparency measures how much of the formula the maker publishes, not how good the formula is. A fully disclosed poor formula still earns full transparency points.
Clean Wise has not located a current safety data sheet or technical sheet for this exact product.
Product data was captured from the manufacturer's own product page rather than a reseller listing.
No relevant independent product certification is on file.
American Contact Dermatitis Society (peer-reviewed systematic review) classifies Cocamidopropyl Betaine as Allergen of the Year 2004. This identifies a hazard and does not by itself establish the risk from this finished product. Risk depends on concentration, route, frequency, dilution, rinsing, residue and use.
Reduced the formula score by 3.1 of 50 points, weighted by its position in the published ingredient list.

The dissolving film used on laundry and dish pods. Inert once dissolved, but an intact pod is a swallowing hazard.
A natural clay used to carry softener onto fabric. Very low toxicity.
A plant starch carrier. Food-grade and inert.
A coconut-derived foam booster. Mild, though a known contact allergen for some animals.
The carrier for most liquid cleaners. No exposure risk on its own.
A gentle water softener and pH buffer derived from citric acid.
A plant-derived humectant that softens and holds moisture.
An inert silicone that adds slip and shine. Not absorbed, but it does not biodegrade.
A mild plant-derived acid used to cut hard-water scale and adjust pH.
