While most of us don’t think much about our pets and the environment, there are hundreds of pet product manufacturers who do. They don’t just have an Earth Day concern, but a year-round awareness about what affect more than 225 million pets are having on the world around us. There’s a reason to be concerned. The number of pets in America is rapidly approaching the number of registered automobiles in America - 268.8 million. And if cars are impacting our environment, what do you think our pets are doing? Celebrating Earth Day this month, maybe it’s time to think about how everyday can be earth day by using eco friendly puppy pee pads and other dog care products.

Congratulations on your newest addition to the family! Bringing home a new puppy is a huge responsibility, but when you go into it with patience and organization, it can be the greatest decision you’ve ever made.

What is Crate Training

Crate training is the process of teaching your puppy or adult dog that the crate is his own little cozy den. This is his safe spot where he can curl up and take a nap during the day, or if you’re traveling, his crate will feel like a home away from home! While you may think you don’t want to undertake crate training a puppy, it’s something we recommend for anyone bringing home a new puppy.

Bringing a new puppy home is more than exciting, but if your relationship is going to be successful you definitely want to take the time to plan ahead. For any one bringing home a new puppy, step one is to make sure you have secured a veterinarian and know all of the vaccinations and medical requirements recommended to care for your dog properly. Step two is making sure that you purchase some of the must-have essentials (use the new puppy checklist below) that your new fur pal will need. That way you’ll be able to focus on settling your puppy into his new home instead of rushing out to grab things at the last minute!
