If you want to live a zero waste lifestyle but find it difficult because you have a dog, there are ways to make it better! Pets in general can cause a lot of waste, but if you think about keeping them in a zero waste lifestyle, it can not only benefit the planet, but you’ll probably save a lot of money along the way.
Toys
Although it’s always fun to buy our furry friends toys, you will save a lot of money and resources if you buy second hand. This actually isn’t as hard as you think! You can find them at yard sales, online, and even things that aren’t nececesarily a toy can be repurposed for your pup.
Poo Bags
Stop spending money on bags to pick up your dog’s poo when there are so many other options. You can use old pieces of paper, plastic bags you find on the street, or even old newspapers! All of this can help be more consciousness of waste.
Food
If you buy your dog food in bulk, you will normally save a lot of money and waste! Although the big bulk bags can be heavy, if it lasts your dog several months, it is really worth investing in. You can also then use the bag for trash or recylcing!
