5 Eco-Friendly Essentials Every Pet Owner Needs

Sustainable pet parenting comes with a lot of learning curves. And finding companies and products that will put your pet first, as well as the planet, can be tricky.

If you’re just starting to navigate this lifestyle, it’s okay. Even if you aren’t quite on the zero waste dog track yet, there are plenty of other ways to make your pet more sustainable without totally going zero waste.

From sustainable options for their bed, food and cleaners, these eco-friendly pet products are paws-itively good for your buddy and the planet.

Pet Beds

Your pets deserve comfort! So instead of beds filled with plastics and synthetic fibers, opt for beds that use organic and recycled materials. Our Amai Pet Bed is made with plush faux fur and wrapped in easy-care suede. It features orthopedic foam to provide support as well as a super cozy nestling and burrowing space for cats and dogs.

Pet Bowls

Feed your furry friends in an eco-conscious way with Beco Pets. Made using organic materials like bamboo, cornstarch and rice husk, this Food & Water Bowl is tough and hard-wearing. Available in a range of prints and patterns, your pets can eat in style while helping the environment.

Pet Food

Looking for sustainable pet food? On a mission to provide carnivorous pet food that’s a little lighter on the planet, Yora Pet Food created sustainable insect pet food. Their eco-friendly pet food is designed for your furry buddies to enjoy, as well as the planet. By using these cleaner ingredients they’ve managed to save 7.1 million kg of CO2 emissions.

Compostable Bags

How can your daily walk be more sustainable? Made with USDA-certified bio-based material, the BeyondGreen Dog Waste Bags are compostable and stronger than plastic bags. They’re a great non-toxic option, using corn, vegetable oils and water-based inks and make picking up after your four-legged friends a little greener.

Pet Cleaning Products

To clean up after those little furry tornadoes, sustainable pet cleaning products ensure a safe pet environment, both in your home and the earth. 

The best eco-friendly pet cleaning product is one you can make yourself out of white vinegar and baking soda. While the vinegar may not smell the best, this is not only inexpensive and pet safe, but gets you closer to being zero waste.
