At PetPlate, celebrating diversity is at the core of what we do. That’s why we’re wrapping up Pride Month by celebrating an LGBTQIA+ owned business that’s also built on that foundation. kin + kind creates awesome bathtime and wellness products for dogs of all sorts, along with the people who dote on them. After all, what unites us more than a shared adoration of animals?
And while a month of awareness is a great jumping off point, it’s even more important to support businesses like kin + kind year-round. Check out the following resource for finding LGBTQIA+ run companies in your community.
kin+kind was born out of some simple remedies and the belief that minimal, earth-friendly ingredients work better than steroids, chemicals, and harsh interventions. Founder Thomas Ling took his childhood obsession with pets and transformed it into a full line of fur and skin care and wellness products now sold around the world.

kin+kind was born out of some simple remedies and the belief that minimal, earth-friendly ingredients work better than steroids, chemicals, and harsh interventions. Founder Thomas Ling took his childhood obsession with pets and transformed it into a full line of fur and skin care and wellness products now sold around the world.
He's joined by a team of clever humans that include veterinary, formulation, and plant experts who create advanced plant technologies from the ground up. Together, they're on a mission to clean up pet products by embracing natural ingredients and safe and effective design.
To ensure the highest quality and ethical production, kin+kind hand mixes everything in its own certified organic factory located in New Jersey with employees paid a living wage. The company is proudly LGBTQIA+ owned and operated, with an ethnically diverse staff in every division.
