Choosing kitty litter is a tough decision! There are so many options out there, and changing litter types can upset your cat and cause naughty "elimination" behaviors. Many users shy away from the traditional clay or silica gel varieties which can contain carcinogens and burden landfills, and choose more eco-tastic styles instead.

Fish is a popular, special snack for some lucky cats but it's not always easy to tell if the products you buy are sustainable. Not the case with these treats, as The Honest Kitchen's new Wishes (Made From Fishes) consist of 100 percent Icelandic haddock, which is more sustainable than haddock in US waters. The stock has risen dramatically in the past five years around that country, which means more fishies for kitties, but they are "wild caught" — hook, line, and sinker — so it's less invasive thus more eco-tastic to catch them that way.
The treats will be available starting April 16 online and in shops for $8 — if North's reaction to Smooches is any clue, your kitties will go crazy for the dried fish bits!
I'm a huge fan of the eco-tastic stuff sacks from Molly Mutt: Instead of shelling out for a cushion, especially with pets prone to potty accidents, these are filled with old towels, clothing, or whatever to take the place of the pillow. In addition to the new round designs (that I introduced in October), the company just launched Molly Meow for your feline friends!
Whether you fancy round or square, each cat bed comes with a matching catnip bag that can be stuffed with the appealing green treat and placed inside the duvet, too.
Never fear, doggie owners, if you like this new pattern — La Vie En Rose — it's available for the canine set as well.
Get excited for this new eco-tastic find! The Bergan Scratch Lounger is 100 percent recycled — it's a pulp material (think, a huge egg carton) that felines can scratch and sleep on 'til their furry heart's content. There are no dyes, glues or chemicals making it safe for pets' tongues and teeth, but the best part? The price. Pick up one of these recliners for just $9.
Live it up a bit greener with these six tips to think earth-friendly while also focusing on pet-friendly. From cleaning house to cleaning Fido, incorporate these little steps into your wild life!

I first learned about Jon Wye during my chat with The Lazy Environmentalist — although they're best known for a line of leather belts, he also offers some super-unique doggie collars by FREDFRED. Priced at $35, the leather is 100 percent full grain (no composite here) and all designs are hand-dyed with numerous layers to get the rich hues and shades in each item. They've got a bunch of unique patterns and designs, but I've gotta go bananas — monkey see, monkey do. No matter what pattern you choose for your pup they're all coated with the same treatment that covers your car's leather upholstery. So no matter the messes he gets in, the pretty piece's protected.
