Is your dog or cat a "recycled" pet? Mine is.

What is a recycled dog or a recycled cat, you ask? Recycled pets are simply "rescued" pets, according to today's earth-friendly lingo.

If you are thinking that a cat or dog would make a good addition to your family, think about finding a recycled pet whose life could use a little love. You'll never regret it." Source

Now ask yourself this...
Is your dog or cat "green"? Better yet, are you a green pet owner?


How To Be A Green Pet Pet Owner

#1 Perhaps the easiest way to be a green pet owner is to choose a "recycled" dog or cat.

The green pet owner will rescue and rehome a displaced dog or cat rather than buy one. (Don't Shop... Adopt!)

#2 Whether you've rescued a dog or cat, or found your beloved pet through some other means, the next best way to be a "green" pet owner is to spay or neuter your pet. Doing so, means that you are taking an active role in helping to control the pet population.

A few other things you can do to raise a green dog or cat...

#3 Buy pet foods that are all-natural or organic.

#4 Purchase toys and other pet products that are made with natural, organic or recycled materials.

#5 Think of all the things you look for when you're buying green products for your home or office (...buy close to home, purchase products that are sustainable, require less manpower, and don't have to be replaced often). Apply those same principles to products for your pet and you'll make an even bigger impact on the environment.

Think green. Future generations (...and your pet!) will thank you.
