Fetch Naturals

Fetch Naturals is the first and only one in the country to create a complete Pet Care System entirely out of 100% Neem Extract.

The store’s creation was based on a story when one of their dogs named Khal Drogo got a lot of hot spots as published on their website. They tried everything they can to cure the dog’s condition, but it was still recurring, so they decided to go on in extensive research and consultations from the experts in the fields which successfully led them to the discovery of ‘neem’.

Neem extract is primarily used to repel fleas and other parasites and to treat insect bites and skin conditions like mange. It is also known for its moisturizing & anti-inflammatory properties. Aside from Neem, they also have Jicama (singkamas) variant that helps brighten the coat and boost skin moisture. It also helps in skin regeneration.
