Earth Friendly Pet Products & Businesses!

Staff at American Pet Professionals

Happy Earth day!  We love to shine a light on our members of American Pet Professionals who have eco-friendly pet products and services.  

The Bike Tow Leash® – Official Website is eco friendly.  All Bike Tow Leashes are sustainably manufactured and shipped utilizing solar power for electricity and heated water as well as geothermal for heat and air conditioning.   The company also use minimal and recycled packing materials.  And you can bike to where you need to go with your dog – saving on gas and electricity. 

Is your pup in need of a bath after a bike ride with you? Two companies that we love are:

Eco Dog Care’s line of earth friendly products are a Green America Certified Business that uses plant-based ingredients that safely cleanse, moisturize, soothe and protect our dog’s skin & coat without toxic or synthetic additives. Their choices respect our dog’s well-being and our own and that of the Earth. They cross-check ingredients against the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Skin Deep database to better understand impacts on people’s health and on the Earth’s groundwater. (The pet care products industry doesn’t have similar standards; we’ll be first in line when there are.) None of their ingredients rate above a 5 on the EWG 1-10 scale and none of our products have alcohol, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, synthetic fragrance or color. See their website for the full line of products.

South Fork Pet Company began in 2015 with the idea of creating a better dog treat—one made with all-natural local ingredients that would be free of grains, chemicals, artificial flavor, coloring and preservatives, but full of irresistible flavors that taste great even to the most fickle of dogs.  Today, their ingredients continue to be sourced right here in the U.S. The meats that we use are selected by a certified butcher, the cod skins are repurposed from local fishmongers, and the vegetables, fruits, and herbs come from suppliers within a 60-mile radius. All of our products continue to be prepared by hand in our custom kitchen facility.  Keeping it local, helping the community businesses and reducing shipping of ingredient sources – all helps in being eco-friendly.
