Green Pets

(This pooch is wondering how he can be more green.)

As our pets and pups are verifiable family members, it only makes sense that our green consciousness would extend to the lifestyle of our pets.  With all the new products for eco-friendly pets, your best friend (I’m referring to your pup) can become eco-friendly and perhaps even greener than you (they use less water, after all, and live more naturally.)

Many green options include feeding your pet sustainably-produced and organic foods, using green pet products, and buying only eco-friendly toys (when I was growing up, our St. Bernard was quite happy with a large stick, actually it looked more like a branch, that we or he, found in our yard - that was eco-friendly, wasn’t it?)   

There are a bevy of web sites about greening your pet, but here are few to get you started:

Great Green Pet

Great Green Pet is a shopping blog devoted to the green, eco-friendly, pet owner. They comb the web and find the most interesting environmentally friendly products for you and your pet.

Bark Natural

Natural and organic Pet Food, pet toys made with organic cotton and other green pet products.

The Green Pet

The Green Pet blog on National Geographic’s web site has an informative and extensive article on everything you need to know about the chemicals in pet-related products helping to make sure your pet is as green as possible.

What green pet ideas are you already doing?
