You think you’re doing your job right? You walk your dog, you buy a litter box and you scoop the poop and swoosh, into the trash. That’s it right? That’s what I thought too. But if that bag you’re constantly swooshing poo or litter in is non-biodegradable it will spend thousands of years with you know what still inside. Yech. The good news is that instead of the trash, we can swoosh into the toilet. Flush. The bad news, kitty litter should never be flushed because it has a certain organism toxoplasma gondii that can cause disease in sea life and humans. Here are just some of the tips to going green with your pet.
-Make sure you know what meat source is used for your pet food and that it is gotten in humane ways.
-Try to buy food in packaging that is recyclable
-Don’t skimp on the toys. Badly made (but cheap) toys often just land up in a dump. So open that wallet a little wider, it’ll be worth it in the long run for all of us.
-Every pet needs exercise, so instead of revving up that engine to go to a park or pet store, put on some sun block and take a nice stroll. You’ll be killing two birds with one stone. ( Sorry to all you bird-lovers)
-Dispose of all mediation properly, they're chemicals too.
