Meet Eesha
This is Eesha, my sweet, curious pug who loves snuggles, sunshine, and rolling around on soft rugs. Over the last few months, I’ve been making her routine more sustainable — small swaps that cut plastic waste, reduce chemicals, and keep her coat shiny and healthy.
Going green with pets doesn’t mean making big sacrifices — it’s about simple changes that make a difference. Here’s exactly what’s working for us and how you can start your own eco-dog journey too. 
Bath Time – Plastic-Free & Gentle
Old way: plastic bottles filled with harsh shampoo.
Eco swap: refillable or bar shampoo with natural ingredients.
We’ve been using an antifungal natural dog shampoo that comes in an eco-friendly bottle — perfect for Eesha’s sensitive skin. It cleans her coat beautifully and leaves a soft scent without artificial fragrance.
Why it’s better:
- Less plastic waste
- Biodegradable ingredients
- Gentle on skin and paws
Try these eco options:
- Plastic-Free Dog Shampoo Bar – gentle & long-lasting
- Refillable Natural Dog Shampoo – made with aloe & oatmeal
Tip: Brush your dog before bathing to remove loose fur, and always rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue.
Grooming & Hygiene
A big part of sustainability is choosing tools that last — and don’t end up in landfill.
Our grooming swaps:
Bamboo grooming brush — compostable handle, perfect for short coats.
Reusable microfibre towel — dries faster and replaces disposable wipes.
Natural paw balm — keeps paws soft and safe from cracked skin.
These small changes help reduce waste and save money over time too!
Toys & Treats
Eesha loves playtime (especially tug-of-war), but most pet toys are made from cheap plastic that tears easily. We switched to:
- Natural rubber chew toys
– long-lasting and safe if chewed. - Hemp rope toys – biodegradable and durable.
- Homemade freezer treats – mashed banana + plain yogurt in silicone molds = zero packaging waste.
Avoid cheap plastics — they break quickly and often end up in the bin within weeks.
Walks & Waste
Even daily walks can be greener!
Our simple swaps:
- Compostable poop bags made from cornstarch.
Recycled leash & collar — stylish, sturdy, and planet-friendly.
Carry a small reusable bag to bring home waste or snacks instead of single-use plastic ones.
“Eco living doesn’t stop at home — it walks right alongside us.” 
Our Simple Weekly Routine
- Brush 3–4 times a week to keep shedding down.
- Wipe paws after every muddy walk.
- Bath every 3–4 weeks using eco shampoo.
- Rotate 3–4 durable toys to avoid constant buying.
Consistency helps keep her routine easy and sustainable — and she smells great!
Final Thoughts
Going eco with your pet doesn’t mean doing everything at once. Start with one or two swaps — like compostable poop bags or a natural shampoo — and build from there.
Eesha’s new eco-friendly routine makes life simpler, her coat shinier, and the planet a little happier.
