What makes a product earth-friendly? By using alternatives to promote and sustain the environment, brands create earth-loving products that make the most from used materials. At Healthy Spot, we partner with companies that value the earth and our communities by using biodegradable, recyclable, and eco-friendly methods. Check out these excellent brands and how they keep your pet happy and the environment healthy.
Healthy Spot Poop Bags
Created with the earth’s wellness in mind, Healthy Spot Poop Bags do more than just scoop poop. Our bags are made with Totally Degradable Plastic Additives (TDPA) and d2w. TDPA was developed by EPI Environmental Technologies Inc. in efforts to degrade plastic at a controlled rate, whereas d2w converts everyday plastic products into materials that are biodegradable and don’t leave toxic residues or fragments of plastic.
Traditional plastic bags don’t break down on their own, harming and polluting our communities and the wild, such as marine life. In fact, plastic bags can sit in a landfill for 1,000 years – if they haven’t been picked up by animals.1 We tend to forget about our trash once we throw it out, but our trash travels a long way after our use. While Healthy Spot poop bags are strong and leak-proof for scooping up waste, they were designed to deteriorate and dissolve after their use.
Housecat Club Toys
This small brand does more than bring joy to your kitty. Housecat Club offers a wide variety of fun cat toys – all made with vegan, recycled materials and stuffed with USDA certified locally-grown, organic catnip. What does it mean when a product is recycled? It means that these toys are created with fleece and post-consumer plastic bottles. With Housecat Club, you’re offering your pet a 100% natural toy without pesticides or chemicals. We’re proud to have a wonderful brand such as Housecat Club be a partner, where they prove a product can still be stylish and trendy, while still caring about the earth.
Pure + Good Shampoo and Conditioner
Passionate about pet and environmental health, Pure + Good offers natural wellness in a bottle! All their formulas are free of any chemicals, detergents, sulfates, phthalates, parabens, mineral oils, preservatives, and fragrances. They are pH-balanced to keep your pet’s skin and coat healthy, clean, and comfortable. How do they give back to the earth? They use local, naturally sourced ingredients and recyclable packaging, and work with small businesses to form valuable relationships within communities.
Healthy Spot’s Grooming Salon uses Pure + Good products because of the brand’s simplicity and dedication to the earth, something we highly respect and value. They come in a wide variety of scents, such as Grapefruit, Lemongrass, Lavender, Peppermint, and more – with every scent containing different beneficial ingredients based on your pup’s needs.
Planet Dog Toys
As the pet industry’s leading brand in social responsibility and value-based products, Planet Dog provides the very best to pet owners and the earth we live on. Since their founding, they have used sustainability as the core to design and develop eco-friendly products. Their commitment led them to become a founding member of the Pet Sustainability Coalition (PSC), an industry-wide collaboration to provide tools and education to accelerate environmental and social sustainability.
Their Orbee-Tuff® toys are created with Orbee-Tuff® material, Planet Dog’s innovative discovery designed without the chemicals. This material does not contain any latex, Phthalates, or BPAs that other toys may contain. Instead, Orbee-Tuff® contains non-toxic white Olefinic oil to soften the toy, as well as a small amount of essential Peppermint oil to create a unique experience for your playful pup. Planet Dog’s Orbee-Tuff® toys are eco-friendly, 100% recyclable, made in the U.S.A., and created with FDA approved non-toxic ingredients. Help us make this planet a better place with the power of play!
