🐶 Pup-Friendly Plastic-Free Options! Compostable Poop Bags & Natural Chew Toys
Do you have a dog (or dream of having one)? 🐕
Dogs are super fun, super snuggly—and guess what? They can be super eco-friendly, too!
Today’s Plastic-Free Challenge is all about helping our furry friends while also helping the Earth. Let’s go green with our pups! 💚
🦴 Why Dogs Need Plastic-Free Gear
Lots of dog stuff—like toys and poop bags—are made from plastic. But when we throw them away, they can:
End up in landfills or the ocean 😞
Hurt animals who might chew or swallow them
Take forever to break down!
That’s why it’s paw-some to choose better options for your four-legged buddy. 🐾
💩 Compostable Poop Bags
Yep, we’re talking about dog poop—because it needs to be cleaned up! But instead of plastic bags, try:
🟢 Compostable poop bags made from plants!
🟢 They break down in the soil (not in the ocean!)
🟢 Some even smell like lavender 🌸
TuTu’s Tip: Always bring one (or two) on your walk!
🦷 Natural Chew Toys
Dogs LOVE to chew, but many toys are made from plastic. Try these instead:
Rope toys made from cotton
Rubber toys made from natural tree rubber 🌳
Antlers or safe sticks (from the pet store—not your backyard!)
🐶 These toys are safe for dogs and better for the planet!
🧺 Bonus Pup-Friendly Swaps:
🐕 Reusable dog bowls for trips
🌿 Recycled collars and leashes
🛏️ Dog beds made from old T-shirts or blankets!
🐢 Did You Know?
Plastic chew toys can break into tiny bits that dogs might swallow—and those bits can end up in the water and harm other animals, too. 😢
🐾 Your Pup Can Be a Planet Hero, Too!
With a few simple swaps, your dog can go green right along with you. Let’s keep tails wagging AND the Earth clean! 🎉🌎
