Next time you shop for dog apparel, why not consider going green? With a variety of on-line shops and design-savvy collections out there, it’s never been easier for you both to be eco-chic!

“Organic” continues to be a big buzzword. And while there is debate over which products should rightfully be called organic, it is nonetheless a word that we see on food, beauty products and clothing. But, what about your dog’s clothing? Sckoon offers 100-per-cent certified organic cotton dog t-shirts and kimonos, as well as dog toys.

Products made of eco-friendly hemp continue to be favoured by the environmentally savvy. Earthdog, a carbon-neutral company, uses hemp (which is stronger than cotton) to make collars, leashes and more! Earthdog products are available on-line or check out some Canadian stores that carry their products.

But living green is also about reusing and recycling, which is exactly what Eco-Pup offers. Eco-pup is a Canadian company that offers dog apparel made from natural, organic and recycled materials. And as a bonus, the collection is adorable!

Another option for those who prefer to reuse is Reknitz sweaters, which are made out of reclaimed cotton fibres. These cozy and cute sweaters are available on-line through West Paw Design® or you can pick up their eco-friendly products at Pistachio.

Being green never felt (or looked) so good!
