10 Eco-Friendly Products That You and Your Dog Will Love
Being kind to your dog is easy. Being kind to the environment is also easy, but most people simply have no idea just how easy it actually is. Perhaps you buy organic or carpool to work. Perhaps you turn off the lights when you leave a room, and you would never even consider allowing the water to stay on while you brush your teeth (and good for you for having that sense). But did you know that you and your dog can work together to make the environment a bit friendlier? That’s right; you can buy eco-friendly dog products that will make your life easier, your dog’s life easier and the environment a lot healthier. And while some eco-friendly pet products aren’t wallet-friendly or even really that good, these actually are. So they’re not just ‘appropriate’ buys; they’re actually good buys.
The world is a place that we have to keep healthy and clean for many more generations, and that requires us all doing our part. And if we can include our pets in that, too, it’s even better. Dogs should learn to be a bit more environmentally friendly, and that’s why these products are great. From biodegradable bags for dog waste to collars and beds made from only recycled and sustainable materials, there is a little something for everyone on this list. And it’s going to make you and your dog feel as if you are doing your part for the environment, because you are. And that’s why we’re recommending you consider these 10 awesome eco-friendly dog products in your life.

This is the coolest bowl around for a dog – or even a cat if you prefer. It’s a bowl with a completely biodegradable refill that allows you to just remove it, toss it and replace it with a new refill, new water and/or new food. This allows you to feed and water your dog without ever feeling the need to clean the bowl again, and it’s going to leave the earth a better place rather than filling it with junk.

EOyss Pet Grooming Products
These amazing grooming products are made without any chemicals or harsh products, and they’re great for your dog and the environment.

This is a collar made of recyclable materials and used for dogs that want to do their part to keep the environment fresh.

When you throw this bag in the trash, you can rest assured that it will be completely gone inside of 28 months in a landfill.
