Environmental aspects of dog ownership

1. Nutrition:

Choose environmentally friendly, natural dog food and grooming products that do not contain harmful chemical additives. Pay attention to the composition of the feed and provide your four-legged friend with appropriate and healthy nutrition.

Check if local ingredients are used in feed to help reduce your carbon footprint. Supporting local producers contributes to the development of a sustainable and ecological economy. Finding alternative sources of protein and other ingredients in your area can also help reduce the environmental impact of transportation.

In addition, pay attention to certifications that confirm environmental standards and compliance of products with safety regulations. Choosing products labeled "organic" or "eco-friendly" will help ensure your dog a high standard of quality and support environmental sustainability.

2. Walking:

Use biodegradable bags to collect waste when walking and taking the dog. This is an environmentally conscious choice as these bags are naturally biodegradable, reducing the impact on the environment. In addition, they can be used to remove organic waste and create compost.

Actively teach your dog to use designated "toilet" areas. Regular training and positive reinforcement will help in forming the right habits. Gradual introduction of commands and praise for correct behavior will help your dog to become aware and responsible.
