Having a cat can be amazing, but your day-to-day life can be a bit of an ecological disaster if you don’t make the right choices. Welcoming International Cat Day, which is celebrated on August 8, we’ve put together in this article some of the most sustainable suggestions on sale in stores focused on more conscious production and which, of course, are part of Peggada’s list.
1. Smart Pellets Agglomerating Sand, at Do Zero
This alternative to conventional cat litter is made from pieces of wood and can be flushed down the toilet without the risk of clogging.
2. Pet brush, at Green Beans
This brush is made of beech wood and nylon bristles.
The packaging is 100% recyclable paper (you can put it in the blue recycling bin) and, at the end of the brush’s lifetime, you can cut the bristles or pull them out with a pair of pliers and put them in the yellow recycling bin. The wooden part is 100% biodegradable, so you can put it in the composter.
3. Shampoo Bar For Animals, at Frasco a Frasco
Cats aren’t usually fans of bathing, but if they need it, there is a more environmentally friendly option.
Made from honey and chamomile, it contains safe ingredients and is made with 70% vegetable oils that moisturize the skin and keep it healthy.
4. Anti-odor spray for cats’ fur, bedding and litter boxes, at Ecological Kids & Family
This spray is made with 100% natural ingredients and without toxic products.
It has antibacterial properties, which help to eliminate bad odors from litter boxes and prolong their lifetime.
