Eco Tips 〰️

While owning pets is not considered to be very eco friendly, how many of us would actually not own a pet because of it? We definitely would not be without our dog! However, there are things that you can do to be more eco friendly as a dog owner. Here are 5 of our top tips!

1) Walk your dog to places instead of getting in your car to drive them somewhere you want to walk. This will help reduce the carbon you are emitting into the air while driving your car.

2) Choose dog food in recyclable packaging to reduce landfill waste and plastic intake. Many companies now make food in recyclable and plastic free bags, biodegradable tubs or recyclable tins.

3) Choose recycled plastic, organic cotton, hemp, bamboo or natural rubber products instead of buying single use plastic products, such as toys, beds, collars etc.

4) Choose biodegradable or compostable poo bags instead of single use plastic ones. Did you know you can also compost dog waste? Check out our other blog ‘Can you compost dog waste/poop?’ for more information.

5) Make your own toys from old clothes, towels etc. You can make tug toys, snuffle mats and more! we’ll be sure to do a blog on this soon!
