Critter Care
We have 9 dogs here at Golden-Aire Farm. They all have their purpose and definite function - from hair producers, love bugs, ball catcher, driveway alert, herder, therapy pet, lap sitter (45 lbs), Mawmaw aggravator, garbage get-r-inner, etc. You get the picture? They deserve to have naturally, nourishing soap and body products too.
​
Our Horses also deserve to be treated and pampered as they have served many over the years.
​
We also have cats - barn mousers, leather couch scratchers, and bed warmers. Their unique metabolism and nervous systems are challenging and do not tolerate essential oils.
