They offer you unconditional love, don’t your pets deserve the best? By shopping wisely, you can treat your pets and feel comfortable that your purchases — from the bed to the toys you give them — don’t harm the environment or your furry friends. When you’re looking for green pet toys and products, consider these companies, which use renewable or recycled materials in their products.
Simply Fido
Simply Fido produces its toys using recycled polyester and all natural cotton, which is grown without the use of harmful pesticides. Additionally, by using nontoxic, low-impact dyes, the dye process for their toys uses less water and produces less contamination.
