For some pet parents, the goal of becoming more eco-friendly is for the bigger picture, whether it is to ease climate change, reduce gas emissions, or lessen global warming. And for some, it is to protect your furmily and loved ones from toxic pollution. No matter where you belong, don’t forget to ask yourself these questions, why should you go green and how can I be an eco-friendly pet parent?
Becoming a more eco-friendly pet parent helps reduce pollution and increase the quality of life. With so many extreme weather changes, heatwaves, and large storms, it’s important to be mindful of the little things we do every day. Waste, plastic, transportation, electricity, and chemical fertilizers are common causes of air pollution. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), exposure to air pollution kills an estimated 4.2 million people per year.
Every single contribution to keep the Earth green counts. Below are some tips you can do to live a more green lifestyle with your little one.
You can create a puzzle or a comfy hide-out place for your fur kid with our shipping boxes. Giving your pet puzzle toys can help stimulate their brains, learn new skills, and keep them on their toes!
There are multiple ways to making a puzzle toy box, so let your creativity fly! A simple way to start is to use a utility or x-acto knife to start cutting out shapes in the cardboard! If you want the shapes to look more organized, mark them with a pencil or marker before cutting.
Make sure you cut the shape big enough for your pet’s paw to get inside. Once you are done making the shapes, it’s time to put in some toys, treats, or a little catnip. Have fun watching them pouting and playing with the box!
Cat owners also know that their feline companions love to snuggle up in a box. A cozy box makes them feel comfy and protected.
You can reuse the NHV bottle for many things after removing all the labels, washing the bottle, and drying them. You can use it as a small vase for flower buds or dainty blooms whether real or dried.
You can also use the bottles as storage for things like spices, sprays, or even homemade perfume. Organize your space with a unique style and eco-friendliness!
Since you will need to frequently stock up on food and litter for your furkiddo, look for bulk packages instead of single and small bags whenever you go shopping. It helps reduce the use of wrapping and cut down the packaging waste. Smart shopping is one of the most effective ways to help the environment and save your budget. Some pet stores even have the option to buy food and supplies without packaging if you bring your own containers.
As the world is drowning in plastics, using a composable doggy poop bag over a biodegradable one can greatly support the environment because it will decompose faster. It also doesn’t leave behind microplastics, which are the small plastic bits broken down from biodegradable products.
BHA, BHT, sweeteners, artificial colors, and ethoxyquin may cause allergies and even be cancer in pets. Look for natural preservatives that contain plant extracts, vitamin E, or vitamin C. Artificial colors and flavors may make the food look and smell better. But organic food with nutritious ingredients is naturally flavorful and tasty! Be sure to check labels to find the best food for your sweetie.
With fewer strays, local shelters can be less overcrowded and have more resources to take care of animals. Adopting pets that need a home can help manage your environmental footprint and reduce overpopulation. You also save an innocent life by accepting them into your loving home and may help reduce the demand for mass breeding practices.
To welcome a new pet home, we recommend our vet-formulated Puppy and Kitten Starter Kit to help with overall pet health, support their skin and coat, cut and scrapes, and aid digestion and nutritional voids.
Chemical cleaning products harm both you and your furkiddo’s health. Their curiosity makes them more likely to run into harmful substances. Watch out for ingredients that can harm your pet, such as alcohol, bleach, hydrogen, and any chemical compounds that contain “phenol.”
Try to keep your little one in another room when you are cleaning. Don’t leave cleaning products unattended and store them in a place that your pet cannot reach. When you are done cleaning, try to rinse with water to wash away residue and odors.
Opt for alternatives if you can, such as white vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice. There are also increasing numbers of less-toxic products in the market. Check to see if products have any eco-friendly or natural certifications. Be mindful of the ingredients when you buy new cleaning products, doing so helps keep you and your furkiddo live a healthier and longer life!
Traditional clay litter is not as composable as natural cat litter.
Traditional clay litter is not as composable as natural cat litter. With mass production and cheap cost, tons of clay litter go to the landfill every month. Composable cat litter made of recycled paper or wood can absorb liquids, is non-toxic, and is easily disposed of after use.
If you decide to switch to a new litter, make sure it is what you really want because it will take time for your pet to adjust. If your cat refuses the new litter, pick them up, put them into the litter box, and see their reaction. If they walk away, try again in a few hours or so. Slow and steady is key. Also, try to mix about 25% of the new cat litter with the old one and slowly increase the ratio until they are fully transitioned.
Consider making a homemade treat for your furkiddo if you have pet-friendly groceries left in the fridge, so you don’t need to waste them. We have a simple recipe for bone broth and salmon sushi you can easily make at home. Check out our easy recipes for pets to learn more about different recipes for your little one!
Depending on your pet’s health and background, different nutrients may be required to support their health and balance their metabolism. Our veterinarian Dr. Amanda offers personalized nutrition plans to help keep your pet healthy and happy.
You can help reduce carbon emissions by walking instead of driving. It is even more fun to do it with your pet! Besides, it is a good way to maintain and improve mental and physical health for both of you.
A calm cat and a relaxed dog are less likely to be aggressive. When pets are aggressive or stressed, they may be destructive and damage items that may end up being a waste. Proper training, stimulation, and support can help your pet cope with the underlying cause of their destructive behavior.
We suggest Matricalm for your cat and Lesstress for your dog. These two supplements are vet-approved to help with your pet’s anxiety and aggressive behavior. Matricalm can help calm aggression and can reduce agitation in cats. Lesstress can reduce separation anxiety and destructive behavior in dogs.
Pets are our loved ones, so we all want the best for them. Yet, we also need to consider what’s best for the environment to have a sustainable world for our sweeties and for us to live on. Hence, it’s important to consider how you and your furry companions can live a more green lifestyle.

Everyone knows what stress feels like, and we all know that too much stress can make us ill—high blood pressure, ulcers and even cancer can result from excessive stress. Like us, dogs can get stressed by numerous factors as well. Help your furkiddo relax into a long and happy life with NHV Lesstress - a natural dog stress support.

Like us, dogs can get stressed by numerous factors as well. Help your furkiddo relax into a long and happy life with NHV Lesstress - a natural dog stress support.
Natural Dog Stress Reliever Supplemental Support
With a heightened sense of hearing and smell, small events that seem mundane to us can be terrifying and stressful for your dogs. Sometimes the stress is from the ride to the office, or maybe they are missing their human companions. This all contributes to changes in behavior like excessive panting, drooling, sweaty paws, dilated eyes, pacing, excessively shedding, or just completely shutting down. Some dogs become so stressed that it may lead to fear and aggression.
Other forms of stress in a dog’s life include:
In addition to panting, excessive barking/whining, chewing on themselves, shivering (when it’s not cold), panicked tail wagging, or tense muscles, stress can also cause GI tract issues such as diarrhea or vomiting.
The key to a healthy pup is balance. Too much or too little activity can be harmful, as well as too much or too little socialization. A balanced, clean diet also helps maintain the body and the mind. If your dog is susceptible to stress, you can use calming herbs like those found in NHV Lesstress. This formulation gently acts on the nervous system and immune system to provide a natural dog stress reliever.
How NHV’s Natural Dog Stress Relief Eases Stress and Anxiety
For stressful experiences such as separation anxiety, the loss or addition of a furry friend, special events (eg. fireworks) and illness (stress can cause conditions to worsen), the natural (non-addictive) sedative properties of Lesstress gently relax the nervous system and endocrine system. Ingredients like Chamomile, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm work to calm nerves while ingredients like Reishi, Eleuthero, and Echinacea Angustifolia are very beneficial for helping the body adapt to stress and illness and stimulate healthy immune function.

If you’re a new pet pawrent asking yourself if there is an adopted puppy kit or kitten kit out there? You’re in luck! Our Shelter Pet Happy Starter Kit is formulated to help reduce stress and anxiety (e.g. destructive behavior), add nutritional supports and help improve their digestive health as they adjust to a new life.
Giving a rescued pet a second chance at life is a beautiful thing to do! So many young pets are rescued from terrible situations or surrendered to shelters, so they may experience a lot of stress going from one place to another. Small changes can feel incredibly stressful for animals which can present as destructive or aggressive behavior. Unfortunately for rescued pets, it is hard to know what environment they were in or what they were eating before coming home with you. Foodwise, they may have been eating low-quality processed food that is missing essential nutrients or maybe they were malnourished (from living on the streets). To help ease your new furry friend into their forever home, we recommend adding natural supplements to their daily meals after they have been vaccinated and weaned. This preventative care plan is beneficial for supporting their overall health and to help slow down or prevent chronic illness (which may develop due to age, genetics, or environment). NHV Shelter Pet Happy Starter Hit contains Matricalm, Multi Essentials, and Plantaeris. This bundle of natural supplements has been formulated to calm stressed and anxious pets, help fill nutritional voids, and support quick recovery from diarrhea (which is prone to happen in young animals). To learn more about caring for your new furbaby, read our post on simple steps for a healthy puppy or kitten.
Changes in your new puppy or kitten’s environment can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if they are super sensitive (some breeds of dogs and cats are more prone to stress) or have experienced trauma. To express this nervous energy, they may exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior. To help ease your fluffy friend into their forever home, Matricalm’s blend of herbs like passion flower, chamomile and valerian contain soothing properties that may relax the body and improve the feeling of relaxation while the smell of lemon balm may instantly calm your pet’s nerves. Multi Essentials is like a multi-vitamin for pets. It helps to fill nutritional voids (especially for malnourished pets) and supports essential processes like blood pressure and metabolism. Puppies and kittens have very sensitive tummies so if you’re trying out different foods for them, or they mischievously snack on things they aren’t supposed to, Plantaeris’ blend of ingredients help to relax muscle cramping and helps lubricate delicate intestinal mucosa to aid proper digestion and help restore healthy bowel movements.
Your furry friend’s health means the world to us! Providing your new furkiddo with natural support from the get-go may help prevent chronic illnesses and other health issues down the road. If your new pet needs a little extra support, learn how a personalized pet diet can help your new puppy or kitten live their best life!
