As a “Compassion and Care” sponsor of The International Judges Association (IJA) Rescue Me Rodeo Competitions, we’ve donated Canine Calm® sprays to every US event since 2013. The goals of the Rescue Me Rodeo are to help rescue dogs relax and feel pampered, to create a positive grooming experience, and to help the dogs find permanent homes.

IJA president, Vivian Nash, brought the highest standards of safety and compassion into the competition arena for rescue dogs, who haven’t been exposed to the extensive grooming typically involved in pure breed and creative competitions. From staging to the awards ceremonies, the groomers use Canine Calm® spray to help the rescue dogs stay calm in this unusual and potentially stressful environment.

Because the list of threatened and near-threatened plant species continues to grow, we joined Airmid Institute in 2020. Our financial contributions help support their mission to offer global education and sustainable management of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs), and to the protection of their use in indigenous communities.

Executive Director and Founder of Airmid Institute, Dr. Kelly Ablard, along with Airmid Directors and trained Ambassadors, develop conservation, research and educational projects to address the restoration and ethical harvesting of threatened plants around the world. Their work helps us understand the many problems that essential oil- and carrier oil-bearing plants are facing, and how both manufacturers and consumers can make better, harmonious choices when sourcing plant materials.
