Buy Organic



Organic Pet Toys

August 23rd, 2006 | Category: Organic Pet Products

I’m not sure that I want to buy organic food for my two cats. They are both 17 years old and relatively healthy after eating a diet of regular canned food and dried food bought from the supermarket. They have never been sick in their life and have only had to go to the vet for their annual checkups and a couple of times after run-ins with cars. Maybe they have been lucky but they have managed fine with convention food, although in the last couple of years they have refused to eat anything but the most expensive brands or fresh chicken meat. I think if I was to get another cat (I’m not a dog person) then I would probably go for more natural products such as those provided by Eagle Pack. Maybe it’s going over the top but it seems healthier.

Aside from food I have seen some great organic pet toys. They look great and contain organic ingredients. I’m sure they would be great for keeping your dog or cat entertained.

Organic Dog Toys

Organic Dog ToysI think these Simply Fido organic dog toys are gorgeous. They are available as squeaky toys, soft animal toys, and dog bone shapes. They are made from organic fabrics which are unbleached and untreated. They have been dyed using natural dyes. I think they are great but I don’t have a dog so won’t be getting any.

Organic Cat Toys

Organic Cat ToysMy cats struggle to get off the couch, let alone chase after toys but you might be interested in these organic cat toys if you have a young cat. These organic catnip toys contain certified organic catnip. If you don’t know, catnip is a herb which attracts cats. Many cats love it (though generally not kittens less than 3 months old or senior cats) and will chew it or roll in it. It is kind of like a drug for them and it can drive some cats crazy - in a good way. It’s completely harmless and non toxic so there is no need to worry if you cat starts acting strangely. Plus the effects tend to wear off in 5-10 minutes or so. They can then become sleepy and take a nap. There is also this toy mouse which is filled with organic catnip. Either should be fun for your cat.

Update: Only Natural Pet Store does not deliver to Australia, sorry.

    Under the sub-heading, Organic Pet Toys it is advised that the Only Natural Pet Store ships to Australia.. This unfortunately is inaccurate.. I have just received an email from them in which they state that they don’t ship to Australia or Nigeria.

    I’m surprised because they told me they do deliver to Australia, although that was quite some time ago. That’s a shame because they have some great products.

    Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

    Pet Deli

    or
