Eco-Friendly Easter: Hosting a Sustainable Dog-Friendly Egg Hunt

Easter is a time of joy and celebration, and there's no reason our canine companions should miss out on the fun. However, traditional Easter egg hunts often involve plastic eggs and treats that may not be suitable for dogs. This year, let's explore sustainable and dog-friendly alternatives to ensure our pets can safely join in the festivities.

Eco-Friendly Alternatives to Plastic Eggs:

Traditional plastic eggs pose environmental concerns and can be hazardous to pets if chewed or swallowed. Instead, consider these sustainable options:

Fabric Pouches: Craft small pouches from recycled fabric to hide treats. These are reusable and safe for your dog to interact with.​Vets Now

Biodegradable Paper Mâché Eggs: Create or purchase eggs made from biodegradable materials. They can be filled with dog-safe treats and decorated with natural dyes.​

Upcycled Containers: Use items like toilet paper rolls or small cardboard boxes to conceal treats. Ensure there are no sharp edges or harmful substances.​
