For those of you who are ambitious and counting pennies you can go right in your pantry and find some of these eco-solutions from lemons to vinegar and baking soda are effective & will put Mr. Clean to shame. But for those of you who are really frugal you can always rely on Fido’s licks as the stand-by to mop the floor & do the dishes. Ta-Dah no crumbs in sight! 6. Lower your Carbon Paw Print by walking to the park, car pooling to that doggie play date, or jogging with Sparky up to the dog Bark-ery at the corner. Perhaps, if you are going to up-grade on a newer car choose a hybrid fuel efficient car or better yet peddle power is good exercise. 7. Be a pet Chef. If you want to know exactly what is going into your furball’s food dish, or your pet suffers from allergies, you can always make your own puppy chow with fresh organic produce, free range chicken or grass feed beef. Hey, If you‘re recipes are good you'll find yourself with your own food network show alongside Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals. 8. Recycle your pet food cans and take them done to your local recycling center. 9. Use Natural Flea & Tick sprays like Happytails Flea the Scene or Spot Organics Bug Off instead of the traditional alternatives. These products fight nature with nature and do not contain chemicals or toxins. 10. Give your dog a safe place to flop. When choosing that new bed there are many eco-friendly & pure options out there such as West Paw Eco Nap & Organic Bumper Bed or Bella Creature Comforts comfy Bella Bed.
