Simple things help keep our planet green: for our planet, our families, even our pets!
Every single person (and dog!) can make a difference. While none of us can heal the environment alone - each of us can help a little. Here at Golly Gear we've become more conscious of our impact on the environment - and the companies who rely on our support are making decisions to meet our needs. We're always on the lookout for pet products that are earth-friendly.
Keep in mind:
Every choice you make can make a difference!

AKC Green Planet Collection Toys
The American Kennel Club has licensed a collection of great Green Planet Toys for our little dogs! These fuzzy creatures are so realistic you'll think the outdoors has come inside. Each has a squeaker to entertain our best small friends. The Green Collection is environmentally friendly, contains recycled materials and comes on recycled packaging. Biodegradable Poop Bags
Go green with the 100% Biodegradable Dog Poop Bags! They're made with renewable resources to meet the ASTM D6400 specification for biodegradability. What renewable resources? A blend of wheat, potatoes, tapioca and corn. ASTM D6400? Basically, this means that the material is fully tested to ensure that it is shelf-stable and will decompose at a similar rate as an apple. There are no chemical additives to enhance decomposition. The bags biodegrade naturally when exposed to the earth's elements and micro-organisms in the soil. (Even the box is 100% recycled with a minimum of 55% post-consumer recycled content. Then the material is converted into a box with 100% wind power!) Eco Frog and Salamander toys
Join the eco-friendly movement! These soft cuddly toys from West Paw Design are made from recycled soda pop bottles in Bozeman, Montana! Some of the tags are even printed on recycled content paper. The frog is about 6 inches and the salamander is about 9 1/2 inches long - but there are lots of legs to hang onto! They're very light, they're super-soft, and they squeak. Hemp Carrier
The Hemp Carrier by Doggles LLC is loaded with extras! Not only is this carrier the perfect way to bring your little dog with you anywhere you go, it's made with a neutral brown and cream hemp canvas outer shell! The construction is durable denier nylon made of recycled water bottles. The UV mesh panels at the top, one long side and both short sides will provide protection for your little dog from UV rays while allowing air to circulate. Are you (and your dog) part of the solution?
