Eco-friendly dog supplies

  • Share on Facebook

Believe it or not, our fuzzy canine friends do their share of damage to the environment. There's the chemicals we use on them and their housetraining slip-ups, the eco-unfriendly toys and supplies we buy and toss, and the millions of pounds of poop that sit in landfills for just short of an eternity, wrapped in plastic bags.

Luckily, the way you shop can reduce your dog's environmental pawprint, and there are lots of eco-groovy, high-quality dog products on the market these days. Our reviews will help you decide what to buy, and what to skip.

hmm...this is a great point that I haven't totally though of before. There really are a bunch of things we do with our animals that muck up the environment. I do have to admit though that I really love the items at www.jakesdoghouse.com because they are so fun for dogs. I especially love the gourmet treats. It makes me feel like I am giving back just a little bit of the joy that the dog gives me.

  • PANCREATITIS IN DOGS

    MY BEAUTIFUL 10 LB. 3 YEAR OLD SHIHTZU (PIPPI)HAD PANCREATITIS A FEW WEEKS AGO. SHE SPENT NEARLY 3 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL. I WAS BESIDE MYSELF. THE VET DIDN'T KNOW HOW SHE GOT IT. PANCREATITIS CAN BE DEADLY. FROM ALL MY RESEARCH, THERE WAS ONE COMMON THREAD: IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN MIDDLE AGE AND FROM A HIGH FAT DIET WHICH BASICALLY MEANS TABLE SCRAPS. PIPPI HAS NEVER HAD TABLE SCRAPS. I ALSO FEED HER"HEALTH WISE" WHICH HAS NO PRESERVATIVES. HAS ANY ONE ELSE HAD A DOG YOUNGER THAN MIDDLE-AGE WHO HAS HAD PANCREATITIS? I AM STILL SO SCARED THAT I WATCH HER ALL THE TIME. LUCKILY I HAD PET INSURANCE SO MONEY WAS NOT A PROBLEM. (NOT THAT I WOULD EVER LET MONEY GET IN THE WAY.

  • Top Tips to Fuel Dogs Snow-Filled Adventures

    GET THE THRILL OF THE CHILL: TOP TIPS TO FUEL OUR DOGS’ SNOW-FILLED ADVENTURES (TEWKSBURY, MA and ANCHORAGE, AK) – With abundant snow and extreme cold temperatures gripping much of the country, this year’s winter is more challenging than usual to many of us, and for our pets as well. Whether it is the challenges of dog walking on the slush-filled sidewalks of New York City, or running the trails of the Alaskan wilderness, winter brings special concern for our pets. Eagle Pack® Staff Veterinarian and 20-year volunteer for the Iditarod® Veterinarian team, Dr. Al Townshend says pet parents need to take special care of their dogs’ diet and exercise. A winner of the highly regarded Golden Stethoscope Award for going above and beyond on the Iditarod race trail, Dr. Townshend also helped to develop customized formulas for Eagle Pack, the Official Dog Food Sponsor of this year’s race. His work with champion sled dog mushers helped to elevate the standard and quality of nutritional foods for not only canine athletes, but also household pets. “Even though it is cold outside, dogs still need to get out and exercise. Less activity in the winter can encourage weight gain, decreased muscle tone and problems with the skin and hair coat,” he said. “From chasing snowballs to skijoring, there are lots of winter activities you can enjoy with your pet.” Snow shoeing or trail running with your dog? The colder the weather the more calories a pet will need in order to stay warm and maintain weight. “A good idea would be to step up to a higher energy diet during the winter,” Dr. Townshend explains. “Eagle Pack Power is an ideal diet for those outdoor active athletes during periods of increased activity given its higher levels of protein and fat, providing maximum calories. Eagle Pack Original Adult Pork Meal and Chicken Meal Formula also contains increased levels of calories for those dogs that spend time outside in colder climates.” Similar to the demanding nutritional needs of an Olympian, canine athletes also require a particular diet for optimum performance. Eagle Pack prides itself on providing Nutrition in Action®, naturally meeting the nutritional needs of active canine companions. Eagle Pack formulas for dogs and cats are made with natural, nutrient-rich ingredients without fillers or artificial preservatives. Eagle Pack dry and canned formulas come in a variety of flavors and sizes and are available nationwide at independent pet specialty stores.
