As a native Texan, my awareness of the Planet quickly came back into sharp focus two weeks ago as my family back home was left without power and water in the midst of
unprecedented winter storms across the southern US. As a millennial, I feel like I have always been environmentally aware, choosing to buy organic when I can, trying to buy in bulk or as local as possible, always looking for “eco-friendly” stickers on the packaging.
I wanted to do a bit of research into the eco-dog-friendly options available to our four-legged friends. Grain-free, GMO-free, sensitive skin, natural fragrances; we love looking at packaging to make sure that our pups are getting the best we can afford. The eco mindset doesn’t have to stop there though; the beds they lie in, the toys they cuddle with (or tear from seam to seam), should get a little attention too.
Fortunately, the brands have noticed the demand for more natural and sustainable products, from compostable poo bags to plastic bottles up-cycled into soft toy fillings, keep reading to check out some of the Pet Shops across Ireland which are now stocking Eco-Friendly Paws Friendly Products that can help to reduce your carbon pawprint.
