Perfect Products for Your Pet: Handmade, Organic, Non-Toxic, and Stylish

We all know that our animals are just furry extensions of our family. We would never willingly treat our dogs and cats with less than stellar care, sub-par products, or toxic toys. However, lately the stories of bad ingredients in pet food and toxic chemicals in toys are growing in abundance. Not to worry. We’ve rounded up a collection of the best handmade, organic, or non-toxic products to fill your dog or cat’s every need.

The Modern Pet offers a variety of stylish and handmade products for your dog or cat. Included among them are extra-durable handcrafted collars and leashes from recycled materials, organic shampoo, biodegradable waste bags, treats, and announcements (think birth announcements for your newest furry child). The Modern Pet also offers a pet collar recycling program and a shampoo bottle recycling program.

Featured here are the Vintage Rose Dog Collar ($28) made from durable pink cotton webbing and a selection of hemp dog collars ($24) made from hemp canvas and dyed with low-impact dyes.

BaconSquareFarm offers a classic looking handmade wrought iron feeding station for your small dog or cat. The feeding station ($18) has an iron stand and two stainless steel bowls. This mealtime essential will blend in perfectly with any contemporary or modern home.
Jake and Micah offer an adorable treat for your cat: a takeout box with three fortune cookie toys inside ($17.99). These cloth playthings are stuffed with 100% premium organic catnip and come with a real fortune too! The cotton fabric is also organic. Who couldn’t resist these lucky organic catnip toys? No cat should be without!

Eco-Me, the maker of the human-geared Eco-Me Body and Eco-Me Home Kits have lined up two new kits to keep your furry friends feeling green as well. Eco-Me Cat and Eco-Me Dog ($28 each) include everything you need to jump-start your pet’s sustainable lifestyle. The Eco-Me Dog Kit (pictured here) is 100% natural and includes all the essentials to get you started with flea and bug spray, cleaning wipes, powder shampoo, doggie essential oil mix, cookie recipes and cookie cutters, and a few pooper-scooper essentials.

Bodhitoys has a line of very modern and stylish playthings for your pooch. Inspired by the designs of India, China, and painters such as Matisse and Miro, Bodhitoys offers non-toxic durable playthings to keep your dog in a tranquil place. The namesake Om ball is decorated with a pattern inspired by West Indian tribal embroidery. Best of all, when bounced it actually plays the Om mantra, as recorded by kirtan master Bhagavan Das.
Purrfect Play has put a lot of time and research into developing their organic dog biscuits. This 2 oz tin of mini bones ($3.50) from Robbie Dawg is a travel essential on any walk or trip. Not only do these doggie treats make great gifts, but they come in a variety of flavors. Check out the doggie treats like peanut butter and carrots, turkey sausage and romano cheese, and four-cheese oatmeal. All the biscuits are human grade-quality and made from the finest artisan ingredients.


And finally, Fetching Tags is the place to go for your next dog tags ($30). These handmade metal dog tags (or cat tags, or rooster tags) come with customized personal inscriptions to make sure your pet’s ID is spot on.
