“It’s not about buying more, it’s about using less and giving back.”
~ Charlotte Fallon Smith, Owner and Founder of ePaw
Here at ePaw, we love finding new ways to solve problems innovatively. As eco-conscious warriors and as a renewable company, ePaw’s core values focus on sustainability and kindness.
For us, protecting our ecosystem while also practising fun but responsible pet ownership is paw-ssible!
With this mindset, we’ve been investing in using sustainable resources to create purposefully made eco-conscious products.
Sustainability is more than just our top priority, is our mission. We breathe, think, eat, and act in green ( yes, we do!).
And that’s why —inspired by a fast-approaching Earth Day — we wanted to share with you our top tips to help with your pet-owning life in an eco-friendly way.
There are small, rewarding choices that you can make that will make a huge difference in your local community, the environment, and also the wildlife.
At ePaw, we are all about loving pets and loving nature.
The following “green mindset” list will be a mix of products and solid advice with the environment in mind. These twenty ways have been chosen in love, care, and consideration. A paw-approved recipe!
When starting your journey towards pet ownership, or when simply thinking about making an addition to your pet tribe, adopting a rescue dog or cat is the way to go. There are plenty of paw-perfect pets waiting for a recipient of their unconditional love.
For us, every little (bite) counts. So, when looking for tasty treats to spoil your furry friend, think twice.
Thanks to the internet, now there are plenty of recipes ready for you to pick from. If you want to try a new pawed (approved) snacks, go and try these delicious banana treats.

Research shows that among the many benefits of exercising with your dog include having a stronger heart and a lower risk of depression.
To see the reality of many rejected pets is heart-breaking but it can also be rewarding. Have you considered the idea of giving back to our community?
Volunteering at your local shelter will equip you with a wider perspective on how to be an even more loving pet owner. Give it a try and let us know!
During the pandemic, shelters have struggled to keep up with their usual routines, so your contribution is more important than ever.

We understand your love for animals but when it comes to adding a new friend to your pet clan, you need research.
Wildlife is under threat at the moment and some exotic pets in the market are just fuelling the illegal trading. There are more sustainable ways to support wild populations such as educating yourself and others and donating to causes like Wild Welfare.
Whether is a homemade treat or a new adorable recycled pet bed…. you can do it yourself. Your four-legged friend and you will have lots of fun exploring different ideas like investing in this cheap bed to make.
Need more reasons to exercise? Harvard Medical School highlighted how important dog walking is. It’s also the key to living a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life next to your pet.
Your outdoor workout can be fun, engaging, and eco-friendly. Start by using your commute or simply walking 20 minutes a day. Research shows that being physical in a green environment is beneficial and positive for both humans and pets.
So, next time you want to drive to a remote walking area, use your local green space and get on your feet!
Shampoo time can be clean, fun, and eco-friendly. Just make sure that you as responsible as you can be by investing in chemical-free alternatives such as flea and tick sprays with d-limonene or linalool components.
Sharing is caring! There’s a whole new culture of toy rental and sharing. Your toys can be swapped around among your closest friends or simple re-purposed.
Connect with other pet-owner through your social media and spread the word. Are you starting a new dog-friendly meetup for your local community, let your friends and neighbours know!
