Reduce your Dog’s Carbon Pawprint – New Designer Dog Collars Make Eco-Friendly Fashionable

PR Log (Press Release) – Jul 16, 2009 – In a time of growing concern over the human impact on the environment, many pet owners have also begun to wonder about the impact their furry friends may be having on the planet.  Pets contribute massive amounts of refuse to landfills every year, not only in the form of animal waste, but also as garbage from pet products.  Not to mention all the energy, raw material, and mileage that goes into the making of those landfill-bound products.  As one San Francisco Chronicle pet column writer puts it, the most important thing we can reduce is the “cheap plastic imported crap” that we are all guilty of indulging in for our pets.  BMBPET’s new Eco Friendly line is anything but cheap plastic, and is made right here in the USA.  These American made designer dog collars can help environmentally conscious pet owners reduce their best friends’ carbon pawprints -- with style.

A Chicago based online store called Dog Collar Boutique has started carrying BMBPET’s Eco Friendly line, including many beautiful styles like “Awakening” and “Compassionate,” made of comfortably soft yet incredibly durable  bamboo and cork in floral prints.  And for the more earthy dogs, “Bamboo-za” shows off the look of the un-dyed materials, and “Heartfelt” creates a look like leather using smooth brown hemp.  The line truly runs the gamut from pretty in pink pooch to crunchy outdoorsy pup, all using these simple, eco-friendly materials.

Bamboo, cork, and hemp are some of the lowest impact, best performing, and most biodegradable materials being used for clothing and other textile applications today -- you’ll find them in home construction, home fashion, and in clothes for humans too!  The materials in BMBPET collars are accented with organic dyes, or left unembellished to let the natural beauty of the materials speak for itself.

Dog Collar Boutique also carries the matching leads for each style of Eco Friendly collar, with antiqued brass hardware to match the chocolate brown buckles on the neckwear.  

Robert Taylor, president of the Boutique, had this to say about the BMBPET line:

“We wanted to offer something for the pet owner who is really concerned about their pet’s impact as well as their own.  Besides the waste factor from all the cheap dog products that have to get thrown out, the stuff that never ever biodegrades, there’s also the energy consumption factor.  The amount of energy put into making synthetic products and the amount of waste created by those processes is way worse than the impact of turning these natural materials, that need minimal processing, into something beautiful and durable.”

Like Robert was getting at, what goes in is as important as what comes out.  BMBPET Eco Friendly collars at Dog Collar Boutique are a solution that addresses both sides of the environmental impact of pet products, without sacrificing doggy fashion.
