Pets benefit humans, so we are more than happy to shower them in love and happiness. When it comes to our pets, there’s little we wouldn’t do to ensure their happiness. We feed them human-grade foods, buy them luxurious furnishings, and indulge their cravings for Puppucinos. But our commitment to their health and happiness doesn’t have to come at the expense of our planet.
Sustainability and environmental consciousness have made their way into the pet industry, as consumers demand products for their four-legged and feathered friends that feature natural ingredients, come in recyclable packaging, and are made with sustainable processes.
As always, make sure to always speak with your veterinarian before introducing a new food or supplement into your pet’s diet.
Hemp Oil Pet Tincture
Hemp oil has been used by humans to treat anxiety, inflammation, and other health issues. Studies have shown it has the same effect on pets. This tincture is made from organically grown hemp and specially formulated for dogs and cats. Add a few drops to your pet’s food to induce calmness during stressful situations, such as storms, fireworks, and travel, or to relieve separation anxiety. $32/1 ounce, Oleyhealthandwellness.com
