5 Basic Green Pet Tips
I went to Petco the other day to pick up my flufferbutts’ cat food, Pet Promise. Hanging in front of the food display, I found a unique information card with “Petco’s Pledge” written on it:
<
If you aren’t able to read the bottom, it says: “This seeded card is made with 100% recycled and post consumer paper and soy-based inks – and embedded with annual and perennial wildflower seeds. Soak the card in water for a day, then plant it outside under 1/4 inch of loose, well-drained soil. Keep evenly moist until seedlings are well established. Germination time is 1-4 weeks.”
If you flip the card over, there is a list of some basic green pet tips I thought I would share.
- Buy a natural pet food made from pure protein sources raised without growth hormones or antibiotics, and that doesn’t contain animal byproducts, rendered meat or chicken meals. (Like I said, I recommend Pet Promise.)
- Use all natural cleaning products free of toxic chemicals.
- Choose eco-friendly pet grooming products made without phosphates, sulfates and other chemicals.
- Pick eco-friendly pet toys made from organic or recycled materials.
- Purchase alternative forms of kitty litter made from recycled material such as newsprint and use biodegradable poopbags for your daily walks.
