Making living with our pets more sustainable, one paw at a time
We can all choose to buy pet products that are making full use of recycled or eco-friendly materials. There is an increasing choice of environmentally friendly alternatives so now it's up to us pet owners to change some of our daily habits and take a small step in the right direction.
For the past few years, Australians have fallen in love with Hemp Collective’s organic hair and body care range and now, your four-legged friend can too!
At the start of 2021, Hemp Collective launched their Pet Balance Oil, Pet Balm and Pet Shampoo Bar, so your best friend can thrive from head to paw.
There’s so much emerging research surrounding the benefits of hemp for our pets, including immune support, digestive support, healthy skin and coat, plus it contains the ideal ratio of Omega fatty acids.
Hemp requires minimal chemicals to grow, sucks in carbon and helps to replenish the soil. Hemp Collective have a sustainable and zero waste focus across all their products.

For almost two decades Dog Rocks have been allowing the seemingly impossible dream of green, urine patch free lawns for dog parents around the world.
A paramagnetic rock, naturally forming and straight from the earth, Dog Rocks are chemical-free and 100% safe for use by all animals.
A simple solution to a long time conundrum, placing the Dog Rocks in your dog’s water bowl causes an ion exchange where the excess nitrates, tin and ammonia found in drinking water then bond with the surface area of the rock.
The removal of these impurities from the water make for no urine burn patches when your dog pees on the lawn, they also provide a purer source of water for your dog.
Dog Rocks is a completely natural product with sustainable packaging. A proud product of Australia.
RRP: $12.99 (200g) available from most vets, pet shops and garden centres in Australia.

The EnsoPet Waste Composting System from Bokashi is an in-ground animal poo composting system which is environmentally friendly.
The most popular method of collecting pet waste from parks, beaches, nature strips and footpaths is using plastic bags and disposing these into landfill. Composting pet waste with EnsoPet would successfully reduce tonnes of plastic bags and pet waste ending up in landfill.
The EnsoPet is a bottomless composter which is buried, leaving the lid exposed. The EnsoPet Starter mix uses bacteria and enzyme cultures to accelerate the composting rate of the animal waste. It’s easy to use by simply picking up stools with the tongs provided and placing them inside the system then sprinkling the EnsoPet Starter mix on top.

When deciding to add a four-legged member to your family, please visit your local pound or rescue shelter first to find your purr-fect match? Not only will you help to reduce the huge problem of homeless dogs (and cats), but this will also have a lasting impact on the environment.
Ensuring your pets are desexed helps to control the growing population of dogs and cats and prevents more of them ending up euthanised in shelters.
