Green Paws: Earth Friendly Tails

If you use the Astronomical calendar, summer officially begins on June 20, 2021. According to the Meteorological calendar, summer begins on June 1. And if you’re a lifelong northerner like we are here at Pure Earth Pets, summer starts as soon as it gets warm.  You know what I’m talking about...our shorts, tank tops, and flip-flops replace our parkas and boots. Grilling season begins, and we get more and more daylight with each passing day. 

No matter what day summer begins, we love this season, especially all the outdoor fun that we can have with our dog Dover! Because of our love for summer, this blog post is all about sharing fun ideas to do with your dog now that summer is here, both at home and out and about. We have also shared some basic safety tips for having fun with your pup during hot weather. 

We are all in this together, every human, every animal, from the largest whale down to the smallest microorganism. And so, we are very excited to write about World Ocean Day, why every day should be world ocean day, and how you can make a difference in the health of our oceans.

While our dog’s health is certainly a high priority, so is the planet’s health. That’s why you want to make sure your dog shampoos contain ingredients that won’t damage our water supplies, the soil, or your dog’s health!

Luckily for us, there are plenty of green alternatives for your dog due to higher demand from consumers and conscious pet owners like you. Hooray! Environmentally friendly dog shampoos can be found online and at a local health or pet-supply stores. 

And as with any product, it’s essential to make sure that everything is biodegradable, including the packaging as well! Although, sometimes, it’s hard to tick all the sustainable boxes, so just do the best you can!
