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.

A comfy, cozy dog bed is a must for your pet, unless you are happy for him to take over the couch! This bolster bed is wonderfully soft but still supportive with plenty of room to stretch out on.

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.

Costs from $99 from Fetch Dog

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.

Currently costs $72.59 at Amazon.com

Instead of buying a bulky dog bed, this sensible dog duvet allows you to make your own pet bed by stuffing the sturdy cover with any old clothes, pillows or blankets that you already have around your home. So instead of throwing away worn out T-shirts or scruffy old foam pillows, they can provide a comfy bed for your pet in a good looking cover. Have a spare duvet on hand and then the dirty one can just be thrown in the washing machine, making it easy to keep your dog’s bed hygienic and fresh. It comes in a wide variety of fabric designs and in small, medium or large.

Costs $30.82 for the medium size on Amazon.com

The following is a paid review:

For the treehugging doggy in your life. This stylish bed (which comes in three colors: Sienna (shown), Whistler Gray and Rainforest) is perfect for all dogs who lead an active lifestyle. I know my dog, Zola, would especially love the bolster on this bed. It lets him sleep but keep one eye open just in case a human may go near the cookie jar!

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!”

This is the best idea EVER!! I’ve bought so many dog beds over the course of my dog’s lifetime it is just silly! It doesn’t matter if they are expensive or cheap they still get nasty and need to be replaced. Molly Mutt, however, just changed all that with selling Doggy Duvets! The plan behind this brilliant idea is that you purchase one of the dog duvets (which come as square or round and small med and large) and then you stuff it with your old clothes, towels or blankets. When the bed get stinky (as you know it will) you just throw everything in the washer and viola! you have yourself a new clean doggy bed.
The fabrics are fabulous too!
Prices range from $20.00 to $95.00 at Molly Mutt

My dog Zola was recently the lucky recipient of some doggie treats from The Honest Kitchen. She thought the cookies and treats were great, so I thought I’d give a review to all my friends in GreatGreenPet-land.The Honest Kitchen is a private, family owned company located in San Diego, California. They are a company committed to quality canine and feline nutrition.

• All products and ingredients are 100% human food grade.
• All products are produced in an FDA approved human food producing facility.
• All meats are hormone and antibiotic free.

Zola got treats called “smooches” which are the cutest heart-shaped cookies that are chicken and cranberry flavored. She also loved the treats called “pecks” …these were little tiny treats (so Zola needed 4 or 5 at a time) and they were buffalo and blueberry flavored. They were a huge hit in our house and Zola is bugging me to buy her more ….. We found a big selection over at Only Natural Pet and also over at Amazon

In addition, every month, The Honest Kitchen donates a portion of their profits to a number of animal-welfare, humanitarian and environmental, charitable causes through the arm of their company called: Pawlanthropy.
