Our pets bring joy, companionship, and love, but they also leave behind a surprisingly large environmental pawprint. From food and toys to all that waste, the choices we make as pet parents add up.

In this Seeing Green Podcast episode in the Greening My… series, we dive into how to care for our four-legged friends more sustainably -- without compromising their health or happiness.

We cover:

• Food & Treats: exploring plant-based, insect, and cultivated proteins alongside upcycled ingredients and smarter packaging
• Toys, Bedding & Accessories: choosing durable, natural or recycled materials to cut down on plastic and waste
• Waste: greener solutions for pet waste and litter, from compostable bags to eco-friendly litter alternatives

Along the way, we spotlight Solutionist brands showing that pet care can be planet care — Open Farm, Shameless Pets, Petaluma, Earth Animal, West Paw and many more.

The episode wraps up with three simple tips for greener pet parenting, reminding us that small swaps in how we feed, play with and clean up after our pets can add up to lighter pawprints — for them and for the planet.
