Most poop bags are single-use plastics that take decades to decompose. If you want to shift to zero waste pet supplies, try one of these brands.

Luckily, many of the independently-owned brands operating today are as dedicated to minimizing their environmental impact as they are providing your pup with the best food possible. Dog food companies are creating their products using sources that are not only sustainably grown, but that will provide cats and dogs with the nutrients they need to be healthy.

They are without the added fluff of wheat, soy, or other potential food allergens found in conventional meat-based dog foods. Vegan dog food is also bereft of hormones, offal, and other potential pathogens.

Halo Pets makes meat-based though sustainably-sourced dog and cat food. The company also offers vegan dog products that you’d be glad to feed your pet with. Halo Pets' vegan formula for dry and wet food is 100 percent plant-based. It also contains none of the allergy-inducing proteins that affect dogs with sensitive digestive systems.
