Order your pet odor eliminating candle from Eco Animal for $17.95.

If your kids get furious with your dog every time he runs off with the soccer ball and punctures it, then it’s about time he got his own. This Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff soccer ball lives up to its name and is tough enough for dogs to lick, chew and pounce on without too much damage. It has a 1 inch hole at one end to make it easy to grab hold of and when squashed just pops back into shape again. You can even pop dog treats inside for an even more fun game.

If your dog does eventually manage to destroy it, the ball is recyclable, so it scores on the eco-friendly side too. The ball can be popped  in the freezer in summer to help keep your dog cool at play time and it has a minty taste which appeals to most dogs.

Behavioral problems in pets are often caused by anxiety or stress. If your cat starts to urinate on the carpet he may be upset about a change in his routine. If your dog suffers from separation anxiety he may chew and destroy the furniture when you are out.While training is the answer to many behavioral issues, if it’s a case of anxiety causing changes in behavior, then finding a way to calm your pet may be all that is needed.

This pheromone collar mimics the pheromone produced by the mother to calm her pups or kittens.Your pet can wear the collar all the time or just when a stressful situation is anticipated. Whether it works or not depends on the animal and on the reasons for the behavior, but the collar is fairly cheap, lasts for a month and is worth a try if you think your pet just needs a little soothing to deal with the stress in his or her life!

The Good Behavior Pheromone Collar costs $10.99 from Only Natural Pet Store

Keeping hydrated is important for pets as well as humans, so when you’re out and about with your dog, it makes sense to take along water for him too. Now that plastic bottles have such a bad press, stainless steel is the cleanest and safest container to keep your water fresh and pure.

These stainless bottles are specially designed with a roller ball top, so that your pet can lick water straight from the bottle, which could be convenient when you don’t want to carry a bowl along too. These bottles look pretty cool and trendy and come in four bright colors.

Just make sure you don’t get your water bottle confused with his, unless you want to share doggie saliva!

If your faithful friend is getting old and incontinent, these re-usable dog diapers could make all the difference. You don’t want to spend your time getting irritated with him for those dribbles and messes he can’t help. This way they are contained and you can just wash the diaper and re-use it.

It’s not just old dogs that can use these. Pet owners also use them for dogs on heat, not just to keep the mess under wraps but also  to keep their females safe from unwanted male attentions!

These dog diapers come in a variety of sizes to fit most dogs. They are machine washable and dryable so a 2-pack should be enough unless you have a severely incontinent pet. They are not very cheap but would work out considerably cheaper than disposable diapers over a long period and are much better for the environment, so make a greener choice overall.

Dog Diapers cost between $21.99 and 47.99 depending on size from Only Natural Pet Store.

Winter walks in snow and ice aren’t much fun for some dogs, who get clumps of ice forming  around paws making them sore and painful. These biodegradable rubber dog boots could be the answer, protecting paws not just from the cold and wet but also from the chemicals used in road salt and any other irritations.

They are made from a biodegradable rubber, stretchy and waterproof. With no zippers they just fit onto the paws and stay on well, but are thin enough for your dog to feel the ground. They can be re-used a few times and then disposed of when they are worn out.

Available in several bright colors they come in packs of 12. While perhaps not the cheapest and greenest of options (they are biodegradable, but can’t be used more than a few times each), at least they make your pet more comfortable in bad weather conditions and any other times they need extra paw protection.

Costs between $14.99 and $18.49 for packet of 12 from Only Natural Pet Store.

The bed is hand made in Montana from recycled materials and has a cover in soft fleece fabric that is easy to wash. It is available in four colors, copper, thyme green, natural wheat, and sea blue and comes in various sizes from the enormous extra large (32” x 26”) to a petite small (12” by 9”).

Some owners find that these beds aren’t as thick and fully stuffed as some other dog beds but none of the dogs mentioned had any problem with that! So if you want more room to stretch out on the couch then get one of these for your dog. Not cheap but they are an earth friendly option.

If you’ve dreamed of getting rid of the litter box, this cat training toilet seat could be the answer. Apparently some cats take to it easily, though other owners had no luck with it. The idea is that you train your cat to use the seat at floor level with a litter box underneath and then graduate to your pet using the seat on the actual toilet, saving the use of litter ever after. For dedicated owners this could be a great way of helping the environment and doing away with all that used litter filling up landfill sites, but it does take quite a bit of effort to make it work and depends entirely on your cat whether it will oblige! Worth a try, though it is quite expensive if it doesn’t work.

The bottom of this bed is comprised of waterproof nylon which lets this bed work just as well indoors as outdoors. Perfect if you want to take your dog with you camping or boating. Your pup will stay nice and dry while the bottom of the bed keeps the moisture and cold away.

The bed is comfy and soft since it is filled with fleece fabric constructed from recycled plastic soda pop bottles. It is estimated by Bowsers that this particular bed helps eliminate up to 30 pop bottles from ending up in the landfill.

The best part is that the bolster and cushion cover can be unzipped and easily removed and thrown in the washing machine and dryer. This allows you to keep this bed fresh and clean for years to come. And we all know that purchasing a quality pet bed that can last many dog years will be the best eco-friendly decision a human can make. Zola says; “pass the cookies!”
