How green is your pet? Here at The Ruby Scoop we love values-led businesses such as Planet Dog and West Paw. These companies demonstrate that having a green pet can be affordable, practical and very stylish!

In honour of Earth Day, here are some great tips on going eco-friendly when it comes to your cat, dog or other pet.

1. Adopt from a shelter
2. Spay or neuter your pet
3. Rein in your pets; protect native wildlife
4. Swap out the junk food
5. Clean up their poop
6. Give them sustainable goods
7. Use natural pet-care and cleaning products
8. Pets, not fads
9. Melt the ice, nicely
10. Tag your pet
