If you’re like me, you have found yourself addicted to searching the Adopt-A-Pet.com website since the Coldwell Banker Homes for Dogs Project launched, looking for that special one to bring home. But one thing not to overlook is all of the new products and toys you’ll have to purchase for your new family member, and hopefully those will be eco-friendly items. Check out these green products for your four-legged friend.
Krebs Recycle manufactures these dog leashes out of upcycled climbing rope.
Cycle Dog is a company based out of Portland, OR, that uses recycled bicycle tubes to make these awesome dog collars.
PoopBags indicates they are the only dog waste bag manufacturer to earn the USDA Certified Biobased label and uses natural ingredients such as corn to produce their doggie bag product. Brilliant!
Harry Barker has all types of eco-friendly doggie beds and blankets made from recycled plastics.
I loved this list from Phyllis DeGioia with DogTime.com because we all know “natural” ingredients don’t always mean the good stuff. In her review of Earthbath, she indicated that it rinsed quick and her dog Ginger’s fur smelled great.
Athena Snow
Senior Manager, Public Relations & Giving for Coldwell Banker. Grew up in Sarasota and attended college at Western Carolina University. Athena wanted to wake up in that city that doesn’t sleep so headed to Madison Avenue to start her marketing career. She has been with this awesome brand for more than 15 years and can be found generating buzz about CB in every way possible. Athena helps to grow the brand’s position as the most storied real estate company within the industry and has led many high-profile endeavors; she was at the forefront of the brand’s pioneering smart home campaign, raised $6 million in two years to build 130 Habitat for Humanity homes, and led the Homes for Dogs program in partnership with Adopt-a-Pet.com that resulted in tens-of-thousands of dogs finding their furever home. She currently leads the CB Supports St. Jude program, which encourages the Coldwell Banker network’s 96,000+ real estate agents to make donations to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital for every real estate transaction they represent. In her spare time, you can find her either digging up a new area in her yard for another flower bed or planning her next travel adventure. She's the proud mom of three cats Jolene, Ziggy and Lucy.
