About Cardinal® Laboratories
Founded in 1948, Los Angeles-based Cardinal® was originally a health and beauty product manufacturer, a segment of business that the company continues today. Pet care products were added almost from the beginning when salesmen realized that many women were grooming their show dogs with products supplied by their beauty shops – or beauty salons were actually grooming dogs in the back room with the same products they used up front!
Cardinal®'s research and development labs produce technologically advanced grooming products. Cardoplex™, introduced in 2006, represented a breakthrough in grooming shampoos. Cardoplex became the basis for exciting advancements in dog shampoos that wash, rinse and dry faster than others, meaning less stress for pets and more time and money for groomers!
