August is National Dog Month. It’s the perfect time to reflect on the joy and companionship that dogs bring humans. Dogs do more than fill our hearts with wagging tails and smile-raising antics. They reduce stress, lower anxiety and encourage people to participate in healthy activities. Let’s reciprocate their unconditional love with care that enhances their lives and share thanks for all dogs who make humans happier.
•    Consider organic-based lawn care methods to reduce toxic pesticides and foster safer connections between nature and playtime.
•    Select dog-friendly plants for home and garden to ensure that nibbles remain worry-free.
•    Use natural insect repellents to protect dogs and people without harming ecosystems.
•    Explore nutritious homemade dog food and treat recipes, or select eco-friendly or plant-based brands that promote sustainable resources and healthier eating habits.
•    Choose eco-friendly toys and biodegradable waste bags to reduce environmental impact.
