When it comes to hygiene, it's best to use products that are as eco-friendly as possible. Choose all-natural shampoos and conditioners, as this may reduce the amount of unsafe chemicals washed down the drain.
Just as there are a number of recycled product options for humans, there are plenty of green toys, collars and leashes for your pet. Buying recycled products can help keep your pet's carbon paw print in check. Of course, if you don't want to purchase more products, you can always reuse what you already have. Old socks, string or sticks make excellent toys and won't cost you a thing.
Although it's certainly no one's favorite part of being a pet owner, picking up your animal's waste is very important. If you leave poop in your yard, it might get washed into sewers or nearby waterways and can harm aquatic life. Not only does waste release harmful pathogens, the decomposition process uses oxygen vital to the livelihood of fish.
