Greening Up The Family Pet

Posted in:

Is your family pet going green with eco-friendly pet care products?

Green pet care products are healthier choices for your family because they’ll likely be less toxic for your home, your pet and the environment.   While buying organic food and treats is easy, it can be challenging to source other eco-friendly pet care products.

Recently, I’ve discovered Marmalade pet care, a pet product design firm that emphasizes renewable/recyclable materiality.   The firm addresses ‘good design’ practices with “domestic sourcing; sustainable materials; efficient production and eventual recyclability of the product.”

If you’re a cat owner, you might fancy the company’s stylish Marmalade Cheeky Chaise (below) and Marmalade Sweet Lounge (above).

“Marvelously modern Cheeky Chaise offers your cat a true modern furniture piece to call their own,” says eConsciousMarket.com, an online site selling Marmalade pet care products.  “The Cheeky Chaise celebrates pure and authentic materials, its texture and form is entirely intuitive to cats.”

The chaise and lounge contain:

  • “Cardboard corrugate provides appropriate materiality for scratching and sleeping.”
  • “Ergonomic curves designed and scaled especially for use by cats.”
  • “A long-term solution to scratching problems.”
  • “Ecologically friendly materials: Recycled cardboard, 35-percent-minimum post consumer, hardboard end-panels, 100% recyclable at the end of its lifecycle.”
  • “High quality materials for extra durability.”
  • “No added catnip or artificial attractants.”
  • “Non-toxic adhesives.”
