[/caption]Nearly every day we get emails and questions about how to help your pup go green. And we love helping pups and pup lovers learn new and different ways they can have a healthier, happier dog and environment.
Because you can actually save money by living a more eco-friendly lifestyle. We don't think being green is expensive, as a matter of fact, we think we save money by being more green. How?
We utilize and re-use many of the items in our house for other purposes, like making dog toys out of old socks and towels, shipping boxes are turned into play toys, old blankets are sewn into mats and beds.
We have much less health care expense because we live a healthier lifestyle.
We compost to help fertilize our garden, doing away with expensive (and dangerous) chemicals for our lawns and gardens. Also a naturally cared for lawn is not only safer for your pups, but requires much less water, saving on our water bill.
We don't purchase unnecessary paper towels or paper products for our home, we use stainless steel and safe ceramics for our foods, and old wash clothes for clean up rags. We practice turning off lights when not in use and unplugging unused appliances which actually save on our electric bill.
We don't purchase expensively pre-prepared meals, we cook our own. It's fun and us pups get some of Mum's meals, like eggs, vegetables, meats and more, saving on our kibble bill.
We use bulbs that are safer for the environment and much longer lasting. We grow some of our own organic vegetables, which saves us from buying from the store, are healthier, and they taste lots better too!
We very rarely buy a dog book. We purchase high quality hemp dog collars.
There are a multitude of ways you can go green, and save money. Readers? Take it one paw at a time, make a little change everyday, and before you know it, you'll be living a much greener lifestyle!
