I bought some all-natural pet toys at my local grocery store! They are very gross but my dog loves them. And now plastic! Also, I was nervous about using the bags that the pet store uses for bulk items. The lady at the grocery store told me they are 100% compost-able, so I threw it in my compost when I came home! yayyyy! Here is Dottie, my pup, super stoked about it.
