Conscious Choices For Our Furry Friends

When it comes to our pets, there’s very little we wouldn’t do to ensure their health and safety. We often prioritize making sure they enjoy natural foods, indulge in luxurious baths with safe shampoos, or have regular check-in appointments with the vet. But our commitment to a safer, more sustainable lifestyle for them doesn’t have to end there.

We’ve compiled a list of brands offering sustainable pet supplies to both improve our furry friends’ lives and our planet’s. If you’re looking for natural bedding for your chinchilla, a responsibly made water bowl for your thirsty pup, or some safe-to-use CBD for your anxious kitty, this list has got you covered. It’s never been a better time to (sustainably) spoil them.
