Dogs may not be immediately concerned with saving the Earth, but today's dog owners should find themselves engaging in green responsibility and choosing biodegradable/eco-friendly pet products. Going green isn't just for people. Dogs as well as dog owners can help protect the environment we all share.

Small changes can add up. According to the American Pet Product Manufacturers Association, there were 74.8 million dogs listed in the National Pet Owners Survey of 2008-2009. That many dogs can make a significant impact on the environment. It only makes sense that pet owners include their furry family members in lifestyle changes that protect health and the planet we live on.

A few tips can have dogs happily going green:

Have pets spayed or neutered. Pet overpopulation takes up valuable resources and contributes to pollution.
Adopt pets from a shelter. Those who want a specific breed can find just what they're looking for at a breed rescue.
Pick up after the dog, using paper or biodegradable poop bags. Never use plastic, which does not break down in the landfill.
Feed dogs organic pet food that is free of hormones and chemicals that may be toxic to the canine body.
Recycle household materials for bedding. Some of the family's old blankets or towels work well as do old pillow slips stuffed with foam packaging peanuts.
Pay attention to packaging of pet items. Recycled, biodegradable, or none is best.
Use shampoos and other grooming products that are free of phosphates, sulfates, and other chemicals that can be harmful to the environment.
