Give Fido and Fluffy Good Green Living
Eco-products for our furry friends can be hard to find, but I managed to track some down at the SuperZoo pet convention this week at the Mandalay Bay. If you ever doubt how people splurge on their pets - you should go to one of these pet product shows!
Grooming products are always in demand. One company, called Earthbath, puts out bio-degradeable and chemical-free pet shampoos, lotions, potions and wipes. The products are people-tested and cruelty-free (although having a poodle-doo can be cruel, ha ha.)
Natural shampoos with ingredients like tea-tree oil, eucaplytus and peppermint and tango mango help moisturize dry skin and give your pooch a nice shiny coat. Their oatmeal flavor is the best for itchy or sensitive skin. There’s even a conditioner and bubbly cleanser for kitties made from cherries. Meowwww.
No time for a dunk in the tub, Earthbath has a variety of flavored spritzes to spruce up your pup’s fur and get the stink off until you get them in the bath. All natural wipes are great between baths, too and super for the St. Bernard drooler in your house. (You can even keep them around when your hubby’s watching the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders this weekend on TV) ha ha! They also have ear and eye wipes - cool. They’re the same ones the San Francisco Zoo uses on their new baby gorilla.
But maybe some of the best earth-friendly items I found at the show are made by a company called, West Paw Design, out of Bozeman, MT. They have some cool eco-toys for dogs and cats that are made with various amounts of pre-consumer and post-product waste and are totally recyclable. There’s the Tux, the Zisc, and the new Bumi (pronounced boomie) and when your dog is finished chewing and tearing them up - you can send them back to the company where they are ground up and used to make new toys! Priced at $10 to $15. Neat. There are fluffy kitty toys, too, made from recycled plastic bottles. Huh? Purr-fectly safe for your pet.
The Renitz doggie sweater is made in the U.S. from 100% reclaimed cotton. No pesticides, no dyes. They’re adorable and the small runs $34. And an awesome pet bed - called the Eco Nap - is made with a neat material called, “Intelliloft” that are fibers made from recycled plastic soda bottles. The tags on each item tells you how many bottles were recycled to make the product. Now that’s eco-cool. And I LOVE their website. Great pictures and explanations of products and shows pets <with> the products. Plus they have prices on everything. You’ll have to show some restraint in spending because you’ll want to buy it all.
