Green Your Pet!



Creating a healthy and enviromental home and lifestyle for you and your pet is an invaluable way to show your animal that you love and care for him or her. Here are some ways pet owners can help reduce their animal friends' exposure to dangerous chemicals and potential disease:


~*~ Go organic and choose pet food that is free of BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin. Avoid feeding your pet any foods that contain artificial sweetners, onions, chocolate, yeast, nuts, coffee and spoiled items.

~*~ Leave your shoes at the door. By wearing our shoes indoors we expose our pets to petrol, pesticides, herbicides, lead and other chemicals that we track into our homes from outside.

~*~ By pulling weeds from your lawn with your own hands and refraining from pesticide and herbicide use, you are preventing your pets from ingesting nasty chemicals that can cause nervous system problems as well as cancer.

~*~ Make sure your pet's toys are chemical free. Many pet toys are also made from plastics that may contain unsafe chemicals.
