Becoming Less

Pets - Part 1


Listen Later

Bizz and Emma chat about our pets and how we can still become less while being loving, doting owners. 

 

Things we talk about:

  • Grooming is important for health and reducing hair
  • Dog toys are consumable items
    • Try getting second-hand stuffed animals (if your dog destroys these, only allow supervised play. You don't want them swallowing the stuffing or eyes)
  • Real tennis balls are bad for dogs' teeth
  • Buy quality and/or natural materials - Check out:
    • West Paw Design (Durable, recycled rubber)
  • Honest Pet Products (Natural materials)
  • Kong (Durable natural rubber)
  • Harry Barker (Recycled and/or sustainable materials)
  • Beco Pets (Natural rubber, recycled cotton)
  • Cats generally don't need you to buy them toys. Find things around the house that might otherwise be thrown away. 
  • Dog clothing:
    • For warmth, try finding used, otherwise buy sustainable and/or good quality that will last.
  • For fun, the same, but remember to minimize the demand for new production. 
  • And that's all we had time for! Join us next week for Part 2!
  • Donate to support waste reduction at wastefree.ca or on Patreon
