Great Goods for Your Pet and The Planet: Play Time
Daily exercise is essential for pets—even cats—to keep lymph flowing, remove toxins from the body and stay in optimal health. And what better opportunity for exercise than play time?
West Paw Design makes pet toys free of Big List contenders like BPA, latex and asbestos. Their Rocky Mountain High little bag of certified organic catnip goodness will keep kitty scratching, sniffing, snuggling and whatever else she likes to do with this stimulating plant. Relax, it’s legal.

To get moving with your dog, try Jax and Bones The Original Good Karma Rope Toy, an all-around chew, fetch and tug piece made of natural cotton thread that’s chemical free. The toys come in dozens of shapes and sizes, but we like the basic ring, which can double as an accessory (as seen on our home page). Yes it’s great that these toys keep your active buddy entertained for hours, but the best part is that the company donates a portion of each sale to The Rescue Train, a non-profit organization that rescues animals from euthanasia and suffering.
