How Pet Owners Can Go Green — Even If Your Favorite Pet Store Isn’t Fully There Yet

As more of us shift toward greener lifestyles, many pet owners are asking: How can I make more eco-conscious choices for my pets? The truth is, even if your favorite pet store (like us here at House of Paw) doesn’t yet carry fully eco-friendly lines, there’s still a lot you can do to reduce your pet’s environmental pawprint.

Let’s explore simple, impactful ways to be a more sustainable pet parent — and how we’re working behind the scenes to bring more eco-conscious products to your shopping cart.

5 Easy Ways to Be an Eco-Friendly Pet Parent Today

1. ♻️ Reuse When You Can

Old t-shirts can become tug toys. Glass jars make great treat containers. Get creative by upcycling everyday items — your pet won’t mind, and the planet will thank you.

2. 🧼 Make Simple Swaps

You don’t need a full eco overhaul overnight. Start with small swaps, like biodegradable poop bags, reusable pet wipes, or DIY pet shampoos made from safe ingredients.

3. 🛒 Shop Mindfully

Buy what your pet actually needs — and choose durable, high-quality items that last longer. That’s why we’re proud to offer a curated selection of thoughtfully made pet products at House of Paw.

4. 🌱 Support Sustainable Brands

Even if we don’t stock them yet, we love brands that care about the planet — and we’re planning to bring more of them into our store soon. Stay tuned!

5. 💡 Share and Inspire Others

Talk to your friends about sustainable pet care, or donate unused items to local shelters. Every small action adds up.
