Product Reviews

By Laura Oppenheimer

a. Fish for Cat

($8) WestPawDesign.com

Made from recycled soda bottles and filled with certified organic catnip, this toy will please your kitty with its hidden jingle bell.

b. Lani Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Spray

($15–$19) LaniDigYourDog.com

We can’t get enough of these all-natural, mostly organic doggie hygiene products. Your biggest decision is whether to choose the beach, wood, or grass scent, each of which smells good enough to use on yourself.

c. Veggie Life Chicken and Apple

($8) Dogswell.com

So many dog treats have a complex list of ingredients, but not these chicken and apple doggie snacks. No hormones, antibiotics, or animal by-products are used, and the chicken meat comes from humanely raised, cage-free birds.

d. Close To Naturenow Cat Litter

($9/10lb bag) TheOrganicFarmStore.com

This completely flushable, biodegradable cat litter clumps like the standard stuff, without any of the harmful silica or clay.

e. Live Well Dog Treats

($33/6-pack) BlueDogBakery.com

Carrots, spinach, broccoli, parsley ... although these ingredients sound perfect for a dinner salad, they’re just a few of the all-natural (and pronounceable) ingredients in these low-fat dog biscuits.

f. Natural Mill Pet-Friendly Composter

($399) NatureMill.com

This easily installed, compact composter is especially designed to handle pet waste, bedding, and litter. Put the gross stuff in, let the composter do its thing, and several weeks later, you’ll have ready-to-use compost. As an extra bonus, it also handles regular food scraps.
