Natural Organic Dog ProductsUse natural organic dog products to protect your dog's health and the environment.
We have all heard about reducing our carbon footprints to save the environment. As responsible dog parents, we should also try to help our dogs reduce their "carbon
pawprints".
You may wonder, as an individual, what you can do to help protect the environment and, at the same time, enjoy having the company of a dog (or two). The best way to
reduce your dog's direct impact on the environment is to be mindful of the environment in every aspect of your dog's life. In fact, there are many things that we dog
parents can do.
For instance, we can:
Choosing Natural Organic Dog ProductsAs dog parents, we all base our choices of dog food, treats, toys, and other dog supplies on what is best for our dogs. As "green" dog parents, we should also base our choices on what is good for our environment. Products and the companies that make them are "green" when they help the planet in one or more ways. Natural Organic Dog Products - Food and Treats
Of all the natural organic dog products, perhaps natural organic dog food and treats should be the first to be considered. Natural organic foods are good not only for the
dogs, but for the environment as well. Natural food and treats are made without harmful chemicals such as artificial flavors, colors, chemical preservatives, etc. Not only
are these additives bad for your dog, they are also bad for the environment, as each synthetic ingredient is produced with its own carbon footprint. Keeping the ingredients
list simple helps keep the environmental cost of producing the food down, for a smaller carbon pawprint.
In addition, organically grown food ingredients are certified to have been produced without any synthetic additives like herbicides, pesticides, hormones and
antibiotics. All these chemicals not only have a high cost in terms of environmental impact, but also in terms of our dog's health!

Natural Organic Dog Products - Toys and Beds
Dog toys and beds are also products that are "musts" for our dogs, so it is important that we "go green" on these products as well!
Look for toys and beds that are made with organic materials (like organic cotton, or hemp fabrics).
Dog products like dog beds and toys made from sustainable crops like hemp help the environment greatly, as hemp is produced with little or no pesticide use. Conventionally
grown cotton accounts for about half of all the pesticides used worldwide. Choosing products made from recycled fabrics, hemp or organic cotton is another way to help reduce
the global impact of pesticide use.
Besides the product itself, also consider the packaging of the product. Less packaging means less waste; packaging made from recyclable materials ease our landfill burden. If
the product itself is also made from recycled materials, so much the better!
Here are suggestions of some organic dog toys and dog beds:

A Final Thought on Using Natural Organic Dog ProductsFeeling overwhelmed? You are not alone! I am sure many dog parents who would like to go green will feel overwhelmed having to consider all the options for how to protect the environment as a consumer, dog parent and planetary citizen. Remember, you don't have to do everything all at once! You can show your awareness, intention and commitment to a greener lifestyle by making one green choice at a time. When everyone takes one small step forward, our efforts are multiplied.Related Topics Natural Organic Dog Food All Natural Dog Treats Natural Flea Tick Remedies TOP of Natural Organic Dog Products |
