12 Days of Greener Giving: Day 7 - Planet-Friendly Pet Care
The holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate the people (and pets!) who appreciate comfort, great design and choices that tread a little lighter on the planet.
Greener pet care makes a thoughtful gift because it elevates everyday essentials into something more intentional — offering safer materials, durable construction and more responsible approaches to sourcing and production. From recycled-content toys and adventure-ready gear to planet-friendly bowls, beds and treats, these picks bring together function, joy and lower-impact design for our four-legged family members.
Scroll below for some of Seeing Green’s favorite planet-minded pet brands to explore, and check out our video for a quick overview of today’s selections.
