Cleveland Greener Living: Best organic beds for your pets
Subscribe
I know you’re working on creating a healthy home environment for yourself and family: less harmful cleaning chemicals, decreasing use of paper products, planting a vegetable or contain garden and reducing your electricity and water usage. However, have you thought about your pet’s needs?
Why should you allow your dog or cat sleep on synthetic pet beds, when greener options are available? I know you’re thinking, “but my furry friend already sleeps on the couch or bed with me, why would I get a separate pet bed?” There are 2 reasons 1) pet dander and hair is not healthy for you, your significant other or your children, especially for those who suffer from allergies or asthma, and 2) your 4 legged friend should not have imminent domain over your furniture. Provide an eco-friendly pet bed made from organic kapok filling and an outer layer of organic cotton or hemp.
Just as we are allergic to certain fibers, which can cause rashes or other reactions, dogs and cats can also develop allergies and rashes. Provide a greener choice for your beloved pet whether it’s a firm organic filled bed or an organic cotton or hemp blanket on the floor. Your dog or cat will appreciate having a green bed without harmful chemicals or filling and you will consciously feel better about living green for your pets health and welfare.
Where do you buy organic pet beds and bedding? Several online options are available including GoGreenDogBeds.com, Earth Dog, Natural Dog Beds as well as specialty Cleveland pet shops such as the Furry Nation located in Lakewood, OH.
