Non- Toxic Pets (not so much)-
Submitted by Non-Toxic Kids
The good folks at the Environmental Working Group recently launched Pets for the Environment, a website devoted to keeping pets (and people) safe from toxic chemicals. The website is a fun place for pet owners, is very cute, and has meaningful tips for lessening your pet’s chemical exposure. This is also a helpful read for the parents of young children, who contact many of the same chemicals in many of the same ways (on the floor, in their mouths).
The site includes ways to take action, a detailed body burden report of “Eddie” the spokesdog, and a blog devoted to Eddie. This poor mutt’s chemical load was significantly higher than his human counterparts. Visit the site to learn more about how you can protect your pet from toxic chemicals in our environment.
