One thing I’ve realized after discussing Pixar’s Up! with people is that it is really a movie for dog people, or that is if you are a dog person you will like it more than those who are not.  So with that thought in mind I decided to make today’s Etsy Pick of the Day one that is for dog people too.
The Modern Pet’s Basic Hemp Dog Collar is perfect for your cuddly friend because 1) it’s durable and bacteria and fungus resistant and 2) it’s good for the planet. Like The Modern Pet points out, “hemp is very easy on the land. It doesn’t need many nutrients, so it doesn’t require chemical fertilizers. Hemp out-competes other weeds, so it doesn’t need herbicides to thrive. Even hemp strains that are 100 percent THC-free produce their own resins that make the crop naturally pest-free, so unlike cotton, it doesn’t require toxic chemical pesticides. Hemp actually leaves the soil in better condition than before it was planted.”
I love things that are good for the dogs I love and the planet I love!
