Evaluation Summary
Company Insights
We like the design and utility of DockATot’s products. We think there is some potential for the brand when it comes to their ingredient safety and sustainability practices as the intention seems to be there. Unfortunately our research didn’t turn up much information about these topics. As a result, the company didn’t score very well on any of the criteria in our evaluation categories. We hope to see more from them as they continue to grow. It looks like they’re transitioning their product offering since our review as it appears that they have shuttered their previous website.
