Pets Going Green

April 21, 2009

Earth Day is tomorrow.  What better time than now to consider ways that you, as a pet owner, can go green!

It may seem like you’ve heard this before, but one way pet owners can make a difference is to spay and neuter their pets.  Animal shelters around the world are over-crowded by millions of unwanted pets. 

Pick all-natural pet products.  Leashes, collars and harnesses made from organic material ease the load on our natural resources.

Select eco-safe, biodegradable cat litter products.  The traditional clay litter is obtained through strip mining and it doesn’t break down naturally, leaving landfills full of soiled cat litter.

Use biodegradable pet waste bags or boxes to clean up after your pet.

Buy Rover bedding and toys made out of recycled products.

Grow your own catnip.

There are many ways to adapt green living techniques into your daily life.  Above all, be sure to keep in mind where things come from…and where they go when you are finished.

In or around the Denver area?  Join PSI at the Magnolia Hotel, where feature speakers Lisa Faust and Kathy Deitsch will explain simple ways to integrate earth-friendly practices into your pet’s everyday routine.
