Green living isn’t just for humans anymore. From organic food to hemp collars and hemp blankets, several companies offer eco-friendly pet products, allowing your pet to do their part in helping the environment and stay healthy.
Earthdog is a company that creates pet supplies out of hemp, the soft fiber made out of cannabis that is increasingly being used to make products. For about $30, Earthdog sells hemp collars, harnesses and leashes. In addition, the company makes hemp blankets, pillows and beds for dogs. The company admits that the hemp toys for canines are not as attractive as their counterparts, but your dog will enjoy chewing on the stuffed toys and rope. Visit the Earthdog website at www.earthdog.com.
Not to be outdone, your feline friend can have her own hemp collar for $10 from the Only Natural Pet Store.
For food, organic can be the way to go. Jake’s Dog House (www.jakesdoghouse.com) sells Gourmet Carrot Crunch Organic Dog Biscuits. A case of 24 runs $19.95. Made out of all organic ingredients, the treats are high in protein and low in fat. And there’s no reason to not stay healthy for your dog’s birthday. Thanks to good-doggie.com, your four-legged friend can enjoy an organic birthday cake for $27.
