Being eco-friendly is all the rage these days, but we know that's not why you do it. You want to provide your furry family members with sustainable, green, high quality pet products because being good to Planet Earth is important to you. At the Barkery, it's always been our mission to provide options for pet owners with the highest-quality & safe ingredients when it comes to food, treats, toys and more. Earth Day is celebrated around the world on April 22nd as a day of education about environmental issues, protecting the world's resources and taking action toward a more sustainable future. When it comes to making more conscious decisions related to our furry family members, there has never been a better time to spoil your pets with eco-friendly products that are as beneficial to the Earth as they are to your pet!
Sustainably Yours Cat Litter
Not only is this litter odor-eliminating and easy to clean, but it's better for the planet. After years of experimentation with a wide array of plant-based products, the Sustainably Yours team hit upon a unique solution based on the combination of corn and cassava, two sustainable and renewable crops. Then by trial and error, created a cat litter that had outstanding odor control and formed exceptionally firm clumps for easy scooping. Sustainably Yours is now available at independent pet stores throughout the country, including Brookside Barkery & Bath. Helping cat owners take better care of the environment without sacrificing performance was a simple promise - one that the creators of Sustainably Yours delivered.
Molly Mutt Eco-Friendly Pet Beds
The Molly Mutt bed is a durable, washable & pre-shrunk dog bed duvet cover - simply stuff your molly mutt bed with your old clothes, pillows, blankets, or even old dog beds. Molly Mutt products are custom-designed and give your old stuff a new purpose. In other words, upcycle your life! Molly Mutt duvet covers are available in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes. Our recommendation is to purchase the duvet cover along with the "stuff sack" to easily remove the duvet cover for washing. Curious? Watch how it works! If you and your pup are still on the fence, consider this: every year, the average person recycles or donates 12 pounds of textiles, and the EPA reports that only 15.3% of those textiles are recovered after use - which means the rest goes directly to the landfill. For every single pound of clothing you use to stuff your dog duvet instead, you can save 20x that amount of carbon from going into the atmosphere.
Let us break it down for you: these bags are certified compostable! Earth Rated knows that when it comes to helping the environment, every detail makes a difference. From the vegetable-based bag down to the recyclable core, these compostable rolls do it all. These bags are 100% leak-proof, BPI-approved, and meat the ASTM D6400 guidelines to be disposed of in a municipal compost environment where pet waste is accepted. Tough on poop, easy on the planet!
