Wool Eco-Friendly Dog Toys
Made of 100% sustainable wool from New Zealand, these simple dog ball toys have a texture and smell that pets love, and when they get super gross, just pop them in the wash—they’re machine washable.
You’ll feel good supporting this small, home-based business (and getting to know brand ambassador, Walter), and you’ll also have the peace of mind knowing that they’re 100% free of harmful or synthetic chemicals.

Find on AmazonTrail Buddy Treats by Cycle Dog
You know how they say when purchasing human-friendly food, you should know—or at least be able to pronounce—each of the ingredients on the label? The same goes for dog food, and these eco-friendly dog treats don’t disappoint.
Made from 100 percent beef, chicken, and lamb, there’s no question about what’s in the bag.
Shop on REIHurley Dog Toy by West Paw
What do you get when you cross a bone with a ball? The best sustainable dog toy ever, that’s what.

Find on AmazonPeanut Butter Little Stars Dog Treats
Right in Rover’s own Washington backyard, Wet Noses offers a ton of organic treats to choose from.

Not only are they tiny, but they’re completely organic with rye flour, molasses, cheddar, garlic, dill, crushed peanuts, canola, and water.
