Eco-Friendly is IN!

This fall, a bone to pick made the business decision to add in a category of eco-friendly products. Over the last 6 months, we have steadily added to our repertoire of "green" products and are constantly looking for new "green" products. We are consistently reminded that we had a good idea in adding this category, as our customers rave about and pets love the products. Today the Washington Post featured an article on a local "green" pet shop in D.C., talking about green pet products and the recent, and hopefully, growing surge in demand for green products. To check out the article, click on this link: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/14/AR2007031400573.html.

Eco-Friendly Products Mentioned in Verdant Magazine's Next Issue!

Wow! We are truly excited over here at a bone to pick. We just received word yesterday that a bone to pick is going to be mentioned in the next issue of Verdant Magazine - a magazine dedicated to living "green" - with respect to our eco-friendly dog products.

Eco-friendly dog products are becoming more and more popular and, from our perpspective, more and more necessary. But what, you ask, are eco-friendly dog products? Well, let's start with materials.... All products must be made of natural, organic or recycled materials, or be biodegradable. That means that we sell all natural hemp collars, organic cotton toys, recycled polar fleece beds, and very soon biodegradable pet waste bags, for example.

For the natural and organic products, the dyes are generally natural as well - or they may simply remain undyed and in their natural state. The recycled polar fleece beds use scraps of fleece from companies like Patagonia, for example, to stuff the insides of their beds, and, therefore, reusing materials that would otherwise make their way to the local landfill. The pet waste bags we offer (by the end of the week!) are biodegradable.

What we've just described above is a very brief introduction to eco-friendly pet products. Come back soon, however, for details on how the eco-friendly collars, leads and toys are manufactured. And be sure to check out the next issue of Verdant Magazine (or check out their website at www.verdantmag.com)!

Our Appearance in Modern Dog Magazine

That's right, a bone to pick been featured in Modern Dog magazine! The current issue focuses on 120 of the coolest dog products and we're happy to say that Modern Dog chose a leather dog couch featured on our site as one of their fabulous products.

The couch is deserving of inclusion - it's made from genuine leather with a solid foundation and is perfect for any smaller pooch that just refuses to happily snooze on the floor or a classic dog bed. Better yet, the style of the couch fits into just about any room in the house - from a formal living room to a cozy den. There's no doubt your pup will love a couch of their own!
