We’re eco-friendly, and our pets should be too
Posted by Jason Green on Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 8:30 AM
We try so hard to make eco-minded decisions for ourselves that we forget about man’s (and woman’s) best friend!
-Typical dogs produce 274 pounds of waste each year, and each pet litter bag take up to 100 years to biodegrade!
-We wouldn’t eat low quality foods, so why should our pets?
Be Part of the Solution
Next time you go to your favorite pet store, look for eco-friendly items:
-Biodegradable doggie waste bags or litter box liners! Ask for Bio Bags made of 100% biodegradable and compostable corn!
-Natural and organic food! Try one of these safe, high quality brands available at many stores including online at http://www.naturapet.com/ or better yet, make your own homemade pet food.
-Organic pet treats! Even Newman’s Own is getting into the Eco-pet craze.
-Natural Shampoo! Do you have a stinky dog? Try a natural or organic shampoo or treat your dog to Tampa's Green Dog Wash.
-Eco-friendly pet toys! Look for toys made of Earth-safe dyes and recycled materials.
-Holistic Veterinarian! Treat your best friend to acupuncture or holistic Chinese Herbs. Visit Dr. Greg Todd at Animal Hospital of Dunedin. Your pet would do it for you!
