The days of a world that is trying to be environmentally friendly are here, and most people are trying hard to do their part to ensure that they comply and reduce their own carbon footprint on the earth. Believe it or not, caring for your pet may be stopping you from being as green as you want to be. If you think about it, even taking your pet to the animal hospital in Harwood Heights can be greener if you walk, not ride, and if the vet is green minded the same way that you are. If you are wondering how to go green with your pet care, read on below to find out.
Talk to Your Vet
When you take your pet into the animal hospital in Harwood Heights, talk to your vet about environmentally friendly options for your pet. From cat litter to food, your vet is probably environmentally friendly himself and will be able to give you the best advice for you to become that way in your pet care as well.
Bring Your Cat Indoors
Preventing your feline companion from hunting the sensitive prey of the earth is a great way to help the environment. At the least, keep a bell on your cat’s collar so the prey can hear them coming and have a chance to get away.
Don’t Keep Wild Caught Exotic Animals
Not only is it illegal in many states, for every exotic animal that is trapped and brought here, another one dies during the trip. On top of that, their environment suffers the loss as well, and that is bad for the environment for you and your domestic pets.
These are just a few of the ways that you can be green in pet care. For more information, contact the vest at Portage Park for advice.
