Eco Product: Bamboo Dog Chuck Toy

I'm sure if you have a dog you have seen various ball chuck it toys around. I was shopping at one of my favorite Houston stores, Kuhl-Linscomb, several months back and spotted this bamboo and cork chuck toy. We had been debating getting one for our sweet boy, Rothko, for years. Once I saw the eco version, which I didn't know they made, I decided to pick it up. It is made by Planet Dog. Two bummers with the toy are 1. the tennis ball has to be in there just right or else it won't stay in 2. It is made in China. Seeing as Planet Dog is based in Portland, Maine you would think they would source their products here in the US, but they don't. All in all it does its job and we are all happy with it, especially Rothko.

Made in the USA: Bison Dog Collars

I bought this made in the USA dog collar for my sweet boy, Rothko,  at Petco several months ago. I love the colors in it and it seems to be comfortable for him. It is from a company called Bison, which is located in Colorado.

My Furry Baby and Eco Shampoo

Today it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day in Houston. My sweet baby, Rothko, LOVES laying out in the sun. Today was the perfect day for him because it was sunny and not too hot. 

Also, we love using this eco dog shampoo by Mrs. Meyers. I thought I would continue with earth week showing off some eco products I really like as Earth Day started off the week on Monday.

Dog Parks in Houston

Dogs need to get out and play. Consider taking your dog to a dog park. It is a great thing to do for you and your pet. Be sure to bring your own biodegradable bags to clean up after them. 


Here is a list of dog parks in the Houston area: http://www.doggoes.com/parks/texas/houston 

Dog Walking

Most dogs liked to be walked. If you are the type that just lets them run around in the backyard, instead of walking them than try something new. We are all guilty of doing this when we think that we don’t have time, but truth is we all do we just have to make time. One thing that my dog, Rothko, loves to do is go on walks. Whether it is just down the street or to a dog park try doing something with your dog that you normally wouldn’t do with your pet, they will love you for it. Check online to see if your city has local dog parks/runs nearby because most do.
