Earth Day: A day to take a step for the environment and the health of your dog!

Today, April 22nd, is Earth Day, a day that marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement.

It's also a great day to make one more significant step in you and your dog's life for a healthier planet, a healthier you and a healthier dog.

This Earth Day, we want you to make just one more change to help your dog live a healthier, greener life, by....

• Filtering your dog's water to hydrate them the most healthy way possible.
• Reusing and recycling those dog food bags.
• Looking into adding raw, organic chicken necks and backs to your dog's diet.
• Researching and beginning organic lawn care practices.
• Instead of purchasing the latest and greatest toy for your dog, why not make one they will love with an old towel.
• Switching your dog's water and food bowls to stainless steel.
• Flushing your dog's poo if you live in the city, or build a dog poo composter if you live in the country.

These are just a few examples of little things you can do to help our environment and your dog's health. You can find many, many more great healthy and environmentally friendly ideas in the Learn to be Green section of our website.

And don't forget, get out there and enjoy our wonderful, wonderful planet Earth!
