Dog Gone Green: 5 Ways You (And Your Dog) Can Help Save The Planet PupLife.com has long supported earth friendly practices (we recycle 100% of our boxes and use recyclable packing materials). We support earth friendly causes, and from day one we have offered a wide selection of eco-friendly dog products. But for many, the concept of “going green” is still new. So, for the new dog owner, and those of us in need of a refresher course, we are pleased to offer these five simple ways that you (and your dog) can “go green”.
Organic. Natural. Recyclable. Today, pet owners want to do their part to help preserve our planet’s natural resources, and fortunately, there are plenty of options. No longer relegated to the back aisles of health food stores, organic dog products are now readily available. In fact, there are so many Earth Friendly Dog Supplies on the market, that the options can seem overwhelming.
1) Switch To Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags
Many dog owners still use plastic grocery bags to pick up their dog,s waste. The problem with plastic grocery bags is that they do not biodegrade or decompose. Plastic grocery bags overwhelm landfills, where they remain for years, harming the environment. Switching to paper grocery bags is a great first step. Opting for biodegradable, compostable waste pickup products is the next step.
PupLife.com’s compostable BioBag Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags are the perfect solution for conscientious dog owners. BioBags use no polyethylene in the production process and are fully certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute to be 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable. They are a great choice.
2) Replace Old Dog Toys With New, Earth Friendly Alternatives
PupLife.com offers a wide assortment of Eco-Friendly Dog Toys. The Huck, Hurley, Tux and Zisc dog toys from West Paw are made from a non-toxic, recyclable Zogoflex, a safe alternative to vinyl. New Hucks, Hurleys, Tux and Zisc dog toys are also made from (you guessed it) – old dog toys. West Paw recycles old, damaged Hucks and Hurleys into new toys – a perfect example of the recycle, renew and reuse philosophy. Zogoflex dog toys are very durable, but if you have a super-duper chewer, West Paw will recycle and replace your destroyed dog toy free of charge. Simply mail your damaged toy back to West Paw, and they will send you a free replacement. Awesome!
3) Choose An Earth-Friendly Dog Bed
How earth friendly is your dog bed? The sad truth is that there are many poor quality dog beds on the market today, and most are made from materials that are not good for the environment or your dog. PupLife.com features a wide selection of Eco-Friendly Dog Beds, including some of the best brands available, like Big Shrimpy, West Paw and Bella Dogga. These beds are not only super comfy, they are good for the planet.
