" Did you know you can help your pets go greener by purchasing eco products like organic pet food, toys made of recycling and comfy hemp beds. New generation of stories like My Pet Naturally have all that and more. Neil, I have my eco-friendly shopping list and I'm hoping you can help me put some stuff together. I'd love toCoolSo a hemp bed, how is that better for the environment as opposed to your everyday, run of the mill, dog bed? Well, mostly because hemp is a natural material, it's a fiber that is grown, it's a renewable resource and the stuffing in there would otherwise be headed to the landfill so they use those to fill the beds. They are unbleached cottons that are recycling. I notice you have some organic toys here. I do, I have an organic here that's made with organic fabrics and natural dyes. And that's the biggest point, is that it's natural dyes. It won't get into your dog, because they won't ingest it. Because a lot of dogs tear these apart and they do swallow them, and when they do, you don't want anything that's going to cause them any affects over the years. So being organic you have no pesticides, or anything that's harmful, and the dyes aren't bad.That's such a great point. That's something that I don't think I would have thought of is harmful dyes in pet toys. Absolutely, here's another great product, here's hemp rope, which means it's very strong, you can see how it's tied, these things will last for a very long long time and it's a renewable resource. It makes a great great toy.What other toys do you have that's made out of recycled material? I have these great toys here, they're made out of soda pop, or filled with soda pop bottles that would normally go to the landfills. This one looks like a fire hose, and I'm seeing that it's because it is one. It's recycle fire hose, it's very very durable. A lot of these toys are great because they are made from recycled materials. But I understand that you have other toys that are recyclable. That's correct. These are a rubber toy that are strong, or a rubber plastic feeling type toy. These are printed on a recycled paper as far the packaging goes. When this toy is done and the dog is no longer interested in it, you can take these and send them to the recycler and they can be recycled and made into something else."
" Another item on my shopping list is organic pet food. Can you recommend anything? I can one up on that. I think even better than organic pet food, it any of our raw diet food. This is made out of 75% raw meats and 25% vegs. Your vegs are 100% condetive free, no grain what-so-ever in this diet. This is made in a human facility and I think this is what nature has intended for our cats and dogs. Alright, my cats better be appreciative of all that we are doing for the environment.They absolutely will. Thanks for having us Neil. Anytime."
