Pet Care
Pets bring us joy and companionship, and caring for them can be both rewarding and sustainable. From what they eat to how they play, from grooming to waste solutions, innovators are making it easier to keep pets healthy and households lighter on the planet.
Healthier & Greener Pet Care
A sustainable approach to pet care isn’t just lighter on the planet, it’s healthier, safer and more enjoyable for our pets too. From natural diets and eco-friendly toys to better grooming and waste solutions, small shifts can make a big difference for both pets and people.
Food & Treats
Good nutrition starts with natural, clean ingredients that support your pet’s health while reducing environmental impact. Humane sourcing is key, and alternatives to conventional meat — like plant-based, insect-based or cultivated proteins — come with a fraction of the footprint. For cats and fish-based diets, sustainable sourcing certifications can help. Look for brands that prioritize transparency, avoid fillers and additives and use responsible packaging.
Toys & Accessories
Playtime and comfort can come with a lighter footprint. Eco-friendly toys, collars, beds and other accessories made from recycled, organic or biodegradable materials help reduce waste and often last longer. Look for products designed to be durable, safe and free of harmful chemicals — because pets deserve quality too.
Grooming & Wellness
Shampoos, conditioners and wellness products don’t need harsh chemicals or single-use plastic bottles to be effective. More brands are turning to natural ingredients, refillable bottles and biodegradable packaging, while also supporting pet health with supplements and holistic care. Look for options that are gentle on pets, kind to the planet and responsibly made — helping ensure their wellbeing while reducing their pawprint.
Pet Waste
Managing pet waste is a daily reality, but it doesn’t have to mean more landfill. Compostable bags, natural litters and even pet waste composting systems are making cleanup cleaner. Look for options that safely break down waste, minimize plastic and support healthier homes and communities.
