National Dog Day – think environmentally friendly poop bags.

With National Dog Day (August 26) and Environmental Awareness Month right behind it in September, celebrating dogs also means taking care of the places they play. Did you know there are over 80 million pet dogs in the U.S.? That’s a lot of poop to pick up, and not doing so has a real environmental cost.

Dog poop doesn’t just vanish. It’s nutrient-rich (thanks to pet food), which disrupts ecosystems, spreads harmful bacteria, and pollutes waterways if left behind. One of the easiest ways pet parents can make a difference is by bagging waste properly, and choosing the right kind of bag matters.

That’s where Earth Rated comes in. A B Corp-certified brand trusted by over 4.5 million dog owners daily, their poop bags are made with 65% certified post-consumer recycled plastic, helping divert over 5 million pounds of landfill-bound plastic annually.

We have used these bags – they’re great not only because a roll of 20 carries easily on a leash, but they have a nice lavender scent that offsets you know what to a degree, AND especially because they containing a note as you are down to 3 bags left on the roll!
