Eco Dog: Healthy Living for Your Pet provides valuable information on how to care for your dog in a way that is good for your dog, good for you and good for the environment. The book offers tips on grooming, including recipes for making your own dog shampoo, as well as making non-toxic flea control. There's information on good nutrition and you'll learn how to read the labels on commerical dog foods as well as how to prepare special home-made meals. There are 25 home projects that you can do to replace conventional products with chemical-free, natural products.
Eco Dog will educate and inspire you to think about your dog's health and the products you use. All the choices you make for your dog will have an impact on their health and happiness. While there are many environmental factors that you can't control your dog's exposure to, you can control what you feed your dog, what kind of toys they play with, what kind of products you use to clean your house and what kind of products you use in your yard.
To learn more about the danger of pesticides to your dog, go to greenpaws.org. They have a comprehensive listing of all chemicals used in flea and tick products and tell you how dangerous each one is or isn't. While the EPA is still compiling information on the safety of spot-on flea treatments, educate yourself about the chemicals you're using because certain pesticides leave residues on fur that can damage the brain and nervous system of not just dogs and cats but people too.
