REFLECTION QUESTION
Pets Homemade Pet Food/Treats

Does making your own pet food seem like a habit you can keep up in the long term? What else can you do to reduce your use of plastic packaging that can come from taking care of your pet's needs?

Carrie Parker 7/10/2019 1:33 PM

Throw your pets poop in a bush instead of a plastic bag. Use metal water and food dishes instead of plastic one.
