Go Green With Natural Pet Products

Friday, October 2, 2009

If you like the idea of natural pet products then you are most probably concerned not only about the safety of your pet, but also the environment in general. Great!

On the other hand you may have only just heard about organic, earth friendly and natural products for dogs, and would like to learn more about these helpful alternative choices. Believe me, once you do, it will bring new meaning to the idea of "spoiling" your pets. Plus, Fido will be able to brag that he's doing his bit to go green!

But that's only half of the story. Once you get into protecting your dog from from harmful substances, it just naturally spills over into almost every area of your life. You'll find yourself looking for similar earth friendly products for your home and your family's personal care. The good news is that simple steps like these can really make a difference in helping to protect the beautiful planet we call home!

Okay, now to cut to the chase, I'm here to give you the low down on the how, what and where of eco-friendly dog products so that your pet's impact on the planet can be minimized.

Right off the bat, you'll be glad to know that there's quite a wide range of products that fit into the natural pet products category. Just to give you an idea, you will find them in the areas of dog food, skin care and grooming, flea prevention and control, dog beds, dog collars, waste and clean up, dog toys, pet clothing, and even more.

A great many of the products qualifying for the "green" label, have been made possible by using materials that in the past were thrown into landfills and stayed there forever. Recycling these waste materials is now the name of the game and is what I am referring to. In addition to this, the development of biodegradable materials that break down quickly and can even go in with your compost, has also made a positive impact.

When it comes to your dog's food, during the pet food recall a couple of years ago, a lot of people's eyes were opened to some big name products that contain very questionable and oftentimes downright harmful ingredients. Thankfully, we have entered a new generation of all natural dog food that is home grown, nutritionally rich, free of low grade fillers, chemical additives and so on. You still have to be picky and read labels, but now your dog can live a more vibrant life thanks to some wholesome, human grade food choices.

As for the grooming area, even though your dog may not enjoy his routine bath, at least now his master can get the job done without endangering his health thanks to the option of natural and botanical choices now on the scene. So, just as you may have switched your own personal care products to avoid toxic chemicals, now you can do it for your treasured pet too.

But, buyer beware, the potentially harmful shampoo ingredients such as SLS, lauramide DEA, methylchloroisothiazolinone, coloring agents and the like are still out there in many pet products.
