Natural Pet Products
To "Green Up" Your Dog!

---

Natural pet products are making a buzz.

Eco friendly, organic, natural, earth friendly, biodegradable, chemical free, sustainable, recyclable, environmentally safe, human grade, locally grown, made in the USA etc., etc. I don't know about you, but these are buzz words that I've been hearing more and more in news items about the environment.

Nowadays a lot of these same terms are being used to describe natural dog products. And that's good news for a spoiled dog - he's getting more attention!

Think about it, with all this awareness about the impact of our carbon footprint, it stands to reason that sooner or later we'd get around to considering the carbon pawprints of our dogs.

Sometimes we're not very analytical about our buying choices - that's OK we're human. It's not out of indifference, it's just that we're not always aware of our options. But deep down I think we'd all like to minimize our impact on this beautiful planet, in whatever ways we can.

Until recently, there weren't a lot of natural pet products to consider for our dog, but thanks to increasing awareness, this picture has changed. Now, with a little help from us, our spoiled doggies can make their contribution to a cleaner world. Let me be a bit more specific.

Among the eco-friendly, organic and natural pet products now available are...

• Organic dog beds, mats and blankets made from recycled and organic materials.


• Natural dog foods, many made with human-grade and locally grown ingredients.


• Organic dog shampoo and conditioners made with biodegradable, natural plant materials, herbal extracts, essentials oils and free from potentially harmful surfactants. These natural dog products will go a long way in keeping your dog eco-friendly, as well as fresh as a daisy!


• Collars leashes and harnesses made from organic hemp, cotton or recycled fabrics.


• Flea Collars and Flea Sprays made without toxic chemicals that pose health threats to pets.


• Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags that degrade in days, not centuries!


• Toys made with recycled materials that can again be recycled when your dog has had his way with them.

And if you're a proud American, you'll be glad to know that the majority of these products are made right here in the USA. This is important, because some countries do not adhere to the same manufacturing standards that are followed here.

We can't deny that the existence of dogs, just like humans, does have an impact on the planet. By contrast, what they contribute to our lives comes very close to striking a fair balance. It turns out that if we don't try to fool Mother Nature, we can help out our doggies with organic and natural pet products to help minimize their impact.

In the coming weeks we plan to highlight these products on this website. Actually, many of them are already featured here and there around the site, but now specific "green" categories will be added to make them easier for you to find.
