As a professional dog walker and business owner along our beautiful Connecticut Shoreline, I get to spend my days enjoying the fresh air and stunning scenery with your wonderful pups. With all that outdoor time comes a responsibility to protect the environment, which is such a large part of our daily lives. That’s why I’m so excited to partner with GreenLine Pet Supply, a company that truly understands that caring for our pets and caring for our planet go hand in hand.
 Greenwashing in the Poop Bag Industry
As a responsible pet parents and dog walker, I diligently clean up after every dog in my care. Our team does as well. And, those plastic bags can really add up. Did you know the average dog owner throws away over 1,000 bags per dog per year?
To make matters worse, some of the “eco-friendly” and “sustainable” poop bags on the market don’t actually biodegrade and compost as they are marketed to do. Misleading marketing and subpar products frustrate me because they don’t do what they promise and usually cost more than a regular ol’ poop bag. A complete scam, if you ask me.
Fully Biodegradable Poop Bags
I learned about GreenLine Pet Supply‘s poop bags a while back. Some of my colleagues in the pet industry met GreenLine’s founder, Jennifer Blease, at pet sitting conferences years back. Many of my industry colleagues have used GreenLine’s poop bags and accessories with their staff for years. I recently loved learning that there’s a more eco-conscious option out there. And, was excited to partner with them to bring you promos and discounts for a product that truly makes a difference to our planet.
What makes GreenLine’s poop bags unique is that Jennifer developed a proprietary earth-friendly additive that is used to manufacture the bags. The additive allow these bags to break down in a landfill environment, which is where most poop bags end up. Other bags that claim to be biodegradable only biodegrade in sunlight and oxygen, two elements that are NOT present in landfills. Learn more about the end of life of a poop bag here.
