About this list:

Who else got on the bandwagon of organic dog food when the recall occurred? Well, I'm one of them. Of course, this led me to re-evaluate all the products I buy for them.

Doggie Dooley Pet Waste Digester System

First to recommend

Description

I don't know what I think about this. It's probably less gross than it is, but I'll have to ajust to the idea of accumulating dog poo.
"Automatically reduces pet wastes to a ground absorbing liquid that is harmless to pets, wildlife and the environment - will not damage grass or shrubs"

World's Best Cat Litter

4 people recommended this item

Description

I have not tried this litter and I worry about another use for corn, but it's got to be better than clay.
This litter is supposed to clump better and is safe for flushing (though California does not encourage flushing). No perfumes, clays, silica (bad to breathe) or other chemicals found in regular litter. Biodegradable. Long lasting. (via worldsbestcatlitter.com)

Feline Pine Cat Litter

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Strip mining removes the top layers of rock and soil with large pieces of machinary - essentially destroying that land. This is how we get our traditional cat litter! They detroy land so we can scoop out our cat's crap.

There are a few healthy alternatives to cat litter out there. I'm using one, but another that has gotten good review is this pine one.

It's all natural and biodegradable (and 100% renewable).
Available online or at PetSmart.

Recylable Nontoxic Dog Toys - Green Party Goods

First to recommend

Description

Though they don't say what number they are, these are recyclable. Non-toxic with no known bad stuff like lead, latex, rubber, phthalates, asbestos. I guess we forget that the animals we love chew up all this plastic, that have....what in it? Recommended for aggressive chewers, pullers and fetchers and most importantly, long lasting!

Swheat Scoop Natural Cat Litter

3 people recommended this item

Description

I've been using this for a few months now and I do not have ANY complaints, other than the fact that I don't have to worry about my kitty inhaling clay particles into her lungs. Tips: it's never good to put a thin layer of any litter down, load it up and it will clump beautifully. My cat never missed a beat (though she is not picky either) nor did I. Plus the box is paper, much better than the plastic litter containers. I have found it at many stores around town.

Why try it?? It isn't much more than traditional clay litters, it's purely processed wheat (a renewable source), it's 100% biodegradable and non-toxic, flushable with low dust.

Repel : Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent

First to recommend

Description

If you are like me - a world-class mosquito attractor, then you have searched high and low for a DEET-free spray. Well, while in Puerto Rico, we went on a night kayak trip to the biobay. The guides urged us to use this eucalyptus spray, saying it is strong (*whew! Indeed) and effective. DEET adversely affects the little glowing organisms (in addition, to us, as it is a probable carcinogen).

It's not easy to find though! Just shop around your city and you will eventually find it. Family safe and made from renewable resource (lemon eucalyptus). Would also be safe for pets, as dogs can get heartworm from mosquitoes.
