Taking care of “business” usually means a plastic bag. But these bags are made entirely from corn, so they take only 45 days to completely biodegrade. They’re also compostable. They do warn that these may tear easy, so you might not want your dog to carry them for you!
A pack of bags costs $5.99 from Muttropolis.
This ingenious septic-tank-style pet waste-disposal system is built to be installed in the ground. Pet waste is added (it’s big enough for the “output” of two large or four small animals), along with a non-toxic digester. Over time, the waste is converted into a ground-absorbed liquid.
The Doggie Dooley costs $49.16 from Amazon.com
Swheat Scoop litter is clay- and chemical-free and 100% biodegradable. Not only that, but it’s also the only litter on the market that’s certified flushable in sewer or septic systems (by the SGS U.S. Testing Company). It has wheat enzymes that help to eliminate unpleasant odors and it clumps firmly to avoid being dragged all over the house by little kitty paws! There’s even a multi-cat version for automatic litter boxes and owners with more than one feline.
Swheat Scoop is available from $13.00 at Buygreen.
Ever since Meet The Parents, the idea of a cat using the human loo instead of a litter tray has intrigued owners. This kit includes everything you need to teach your kitty to do just that: a seat that fits on most toilets, three colored training rings, a manual and a 30-minute DVD. Think of all the litter that would no longer end up as landfill. All you need to add is patience and encouragement! (And by the way – no, your cat probably won’t learn to flush.)
Available for $59.95 Amazon.com
