About Us
Our Story
Climate change is a huge issue, and everyone is looking at how they can reduce their carbon footprint. With this in mind, I started to research how my own family could make changes to reduce our impact. However, this got me thinking, what about the four-legged members of our family? How big were their carbon pawprints?
Turns out, pretty big!
With their meat-based diets, all the packaging from their individually portioned pouches, the destroyed toys destined for landfill, and let us not forget about all the poop! Our furry little friends are taking quite a toll on the planet.
The more I researched, the more it became obvious to me that it would be so much easier for eco-conscious pet parents if all this information was in one place. It would at least give all the green-minded pet owners out there a chance at making a difference.
And just like that, The Green Pet Guide was born.
Our Mission
The goal is simple. Provide a platform that answers all your questions about pet care, your pet’s carbon pawprint, and the best ways to reduce their impact on the planet. As well as helping you find the very best sustainable and eco-friendly pet products, all in one reliable place!
Think of The Green Pet Guide as your new go-to for all your eco-pet care needs.

It’s not just me working behind the scenes at The Green Pet Guide. Researching ways to reduce our pet’s environmental impact and testing eco-friendly and sustainable products is a lot of work, so I have enlisted the help of a very special task force to test out all things green!
