With all
the attention and love we give our furry four-legged friends, it just makes
sense that we weave sustainability into their lives as well. Over the past
decade, eco-friendly options for canines, felines and other pets have burgeoned
to cover shampoo, litter, flea treatment, toys and food.

It’s
easy to shrink your pet’s environmental paw print dramatically while also
helping it gain health benefits. Here are a few ways to green your pets and
give them an eco-friendly edge.
1)
Choose Eco-Friendly Supplies – Look for products made of biodegradable materials, that are free of
plastics, or that can be or have been recycled.
2)
Select The Least Toxic Flea Med Option – Check online for tips to fighting fleas without pesticides. If you must
use pesticides, opt for a topical, spot-on treatment instead of powders,
collars or sprays. If you live in a region that has a true winter, ask your vet
about limiting treatments during warmer flea season months.
3) Be
A Green Doggy Pooper-Scooper – Always clean up after your pet. Poop can make humans and animals sick when
it’s washed down storm drains into waterways. A great green move is to purchase
biodegradable poop bags that are flushable. Check for
eco-friendly kitty litter as well.
4)
Think Before You Toss – Shampoos, meds and flea treatments can all
potentially pollute water and soil when simply tossed into the trash. Call 800-CLEAN-UP for safe
solutions in disposing of these.
5)
Purchase Locally Made and Organic Pet Foods – Purchase “Made in the USA”
foods, using ingredients that did not travel far. Check what other
environmentally friendly practices your pet food company embraces. Here at
Evanger’s, we are proud to incorporate eco-friendly business practices in every
aspect of our manufacturing. From using local ingredients and packaging to
using recycled materials everywhere we can. Did you know that our facility
creates the equivalent of one 60 gallon family-sized garbage can of waste each
day?
Evanger’s also features a full organic line
of foods that are nutritionally complete and balanced. Ideal for cats, Evanger’s Organic Braised Chicken Dinner is a certified, holistic option that’s naturally
cooked in its own juices.
Grain-
and gluten-free, it’s a great complement to our Super Premium and Grain Free dry foods. It can also be mixed with Evanger's canned Vegetarian Dinner to make a complete, balanced and nutritious diet.
