“Recycled” Pug gets around….

How can the plight of a pug, named Puglet help make a difference in the lives of other pugs and pets that are homeless?  Easy…..Puglet inspired his mom to share him with the world via post. The project helps bring awareness to people that “recycled” pets are just as good as “non-recycled” pets.

According to his mom, and fellow recycled K9, Dutch (the Dalmation) “Flat Puglet started out as just something to write about on the blog (Daily Puglet). Thought it would be cool to visit some of Puglet’s “followers” in other parts of the country”. As “the Flattie prototype” gained traction in public the light dawned that the “Flat Puglet might be able to do some good”. To date there are now 65 flat Puglets “getting around”.

I know I posted yesterday about Earth Day (April 22, 2010), but how can one resist a most engaging and adorable pug? Here’s to “recycled” pets and recycling….

There are so many ways to “GO GREEN”:

  • Spay and neuter.
  • Rescue and adopt.
  • Shop locally for pet supplies and research products.
  • Buy pet items made from natural or recycled materials.
  • Look for pet foods with “FDA Certified Food Grade” stamp of approval for the long term health and well being of your pet.
  • Purchase non-clay based cat litter.
  • Buy biodegradable poop bags for your pooch’s poop.
  • Remember EPA findings regarding spot-on flea and tick control products and purchase natural treatments.
