Pick up after your dog. Not only is it neighborly and courteous, picking up your dog's waste keeps bacteria and other by-products of dog waste out of our water supply. Flushing your dog's poo is even better!
Use biodegradable bags. If flushing your dog's poo isn't an option, make sure to use biodegradable bags that are easily decomposed in landfills.
Use environmentally-safe flea control products. Before you spray your backyard, learn more about the chemicals you are using. Boric Acid is one safe alternative that has a minimal impact on the environment.
Buy recycled or organic toys for your dog. Look for products that use sustainable fibers and materials such as organic cotton. These products have the added benefit of being safer for your dog.
Feed your dog natural and organic food and treats. These are now available at most major pet stores and health food markets; just check the labels!
Stay in tune with Mother Nature by keeping our planet clean. We play an important role in the sustainability of our resources.
