Your pets can and should get in on the action too especially with the number of organic foods and cleaning supplies there are available now. Did you know that there is over 8 billion pounds of kitty litter sent to landfills each year? Besides the waste we should want our animals to be safe. Follow these simple tips to help your cat feel healthy and save the environment at the same time!
Use Natural and Organic Pet Food
Your pets should eat the same quality of food as you do and we hope that you area already bitten by the organic bug. There are many different types of organic, natural or holistic pet foods available and use protein sources that are raised naturally, without the addition of growth hormones. These foods also help your pet to create less waste to clean up later. Check the labels to be sure that the foods are nutrient and vitamin rich. Avoid any products that have any type of bio-engineered source.
Organic Cleaning and Grooming Products
Just because your pet isn’t eating it, doesn’t mean it wont cause their body any harm. Make sure you use organic cleaning products that are safe for your pets and the environment. Many cleaning supplies and pet shampoos now use plant-based cleansers and bio enhanced cultures to keep their coat shining and odor free. Products based on these cleansers are non-toxic and can even be used for flea removal.
Organic Pet Accessories
When we buy toys for our kids, one of the first things we do is check the label to make sure that it does not contain lead or other harmful products. Do the same for your pets. Lead is even more harmful to pets then it is to humans. Its often best to get creative and create toys from goods that you had planned to throw out already. There are also collars and blankets made from organic cotton that contains no pesticides or herbicides that your pet will thank you for!
