Green Paws: Earth Friendly Tails

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! 

Our boxes here at Pure Earth Pets are not your run of the mill box. When we started Pure Earth Pets, we knew that not only did we want our products to be eco-friendly, but our behind-the-scenes practices to also be kind to the earth. That is why the boxes in which we ship your Pure Earth Pets subscriptions and retail orders are from Eco Enclose, an eco-friendly manufacturer of boxes and shipping materials. 

Each Pure Earth Pets box is made of 100% recycled materials and is specially sized for your order so that we do not ship excess air or to include excessive packing materials. They are also readily accepted as part of curbside recycling, so that you can recycle them easily. And finally, they are printed with soy ink, which is made from soybeans instead of petroleum. 

With Earth Day 2021 just around the corner, it’s time to decide how we, as dog owners, can participate in this annual event that globally celebrates and supports environmental protection. This year’s Earth Day theme is “Restore Our Earth,” which we thought was incredibly fitting, but in all honestly, they always nail their theme.

This year, we wanted to approach the “restore our earth” narrative from a perspective that includes our furry best friends! The actions we take as dog-owners should be proactive in the effort of protecting our planet.
