Sustainability for your pet
Written by tommy |
Nowadays, it is increasingly important to live sustainably and contribute to the environment. But what does this mean for our pets? Pets also have a substantial impact on the environment, so it’s important to consider sustainability when it comes to them. Small changes around your pet can have a huge positive effect on the environment. By choosing products with sustainable packaging and sustainable toys, you and your pet are contributing to a more sustainable world. Read this blog for more ideas on how to live a more sustainable pet life!
Diet
Be conscious when choosing your pet’s diet. Organic pet diets are becoming increasingly popular. And that makes sense, organic products are a lot more eco-conscious. Take a look at the brand Goood. They are all about natural, healthy and eco-friendly dog food. Even better: they sell world’s first climate-neutral dog food! The ingredients are processed into healthy, premium dog food in a 100% natural and transparent way. Yarrah is the go-to brand for organic cat food. They produce dog food and cat food with a 3-star rating from the Dutch Beter Leven (Better Life) Label.
Packaging
One of the biggest developments in sustainability for pets is the use of sustainable packaging. Pet food is often packaged in plastic packaging that’s not always properly recycled. Thankfully, there are alternatives that are much more sustainable. There are brands that package their food in biodegradable packaging and/or packaging from recycled materials. An example of such a brand is Edgar & Cooper. Their dry food is packaged in 100% biodegradable bags and their tubs and tins are super easy to recycle.
Daily necessities
Within the category of daily necessities there are several brands that are working hard to create more sustainable product lines. Will you take your dog for a walk in a harness or lead from the Hurtta Eco line? Or would you rather spoil your furry friend with a BE-NORDIC plush toy that supports Trixie projects for the protection of marine areas? You can also choose to use the eco-conscious products from BecoPets. The cute food bowls, toys, and poo bags are made from natural or recycled materials and are available in awesome colours. Dress up your garden with a LONA birdhouse or hang a fun chicken swing made from recycled bottles. In short, the sustainable options in the Vetsend assortment are plentiful. You can make a difference for every pet, so what are you waiting for?
