Whenever I shop for my pets, I try to seek out products that are non-toxic, chemical-free, free of artificial ingredients, natural, and eco-friendly. The same holds true for holiday gift-giving. That can be a lot to ask for and sometimes a challenge to find, so I've compiled a list of some of our favorites that fit the bill. If you haven't yet shopped for your pets consider these green gifts:
Dogitalis Natural Dog Shampoo is a natural clarifying shampoo that will promote a healthy, shiny coat and sooth your dog's skin naturally. It is formulated with pure essential oils and gentle, natural cleansing agents. It is suitable for all breeds. The light citrus scent leaves your dog's coat smelling fresh and clean. Eco-friendly, this shampoo is made using only pure, natural ingredients–no paragons, sulfates, dyes, artificial fragrances or chemicals, and is made in the USA.
Digitalis Natural Dog Shampoo comes in a 16 oz recyclable PET bottle.
The AquaFarm is a three-gallon fish tank that makes a perfect home for a beta fish. It has a vegetable and herb grow-bed atop the tank that contributes to a closed-loop system. In other words, the waste from the fish provides nutrients for the plants, and the plants clean the water for the fish. No way! All you have to do is feed your fish!
Wheatgrass and basil seeds are included with your AquaFarm, but you can grow other leafy greens and herbs, as well.
