Dogs love chewing on old water bottles, so there's no doubt they will also love chew toys made from recycled water bottles, right? Helping the environment starts at home [1], with things like wool dryer balls [2] and re-usable water bottles [3]. And while us humans are doing our part to save the planet, don't forget about your dogs [4]! Our furry friends can get involved in the eco-friendly movement too, by switching to sustainable dog toys [5] that are just as colourful, chewy, and fun, while helping preserve our natural resources at the same time. Who knew a bone could have such a big impact?
From tugging toys to chew toys [6] — and super cute bouncy balls! — there are plenty of green options to choose from that are totally dog-approved.
