Don't Forget - multi-vitamins are a great idea for humans, as well as your four-legged friend! Multi-vitamins can give a boost of natural nutrients we may not always get in our regular diet.



Flying Basset vitamins are a great eco-friendly option because they are made with organic and 100% human grade ingredients. Vitamins and supplements are available in varieties for daily maintenance, joint health, digestion support and more. Flying Basset formulas have been shown to improve eyesight, digestion, muscle, bone strength and more!



I love anything that promotes a healthy dog in a natural way! :) Keep up the good work, Flying Basset!

Recycled Plastic Eco-Friendly Pet Bed

*Buddy's Blog! Your guide to the latest in eco-friendly pet items, trends, tips and reviews - as dug up by your friendly Weimaraner, Buddy...& typed by his trusty human!*


January was a chilly month and February is sure to be full of more wintery days as well! ...I'm starting to think a cozy new bed may be in order...?



One of my favorite picks for eco-friendly pet beds, are made by West Paw Design. They come in a simple mat style, plush modern or bumper style bed! All of the beds are filled with an eco-friendly fiber that is made of recycled plastic bottles! How cool! They are machine washable and I have found many great reviews on them being durable as well!




Every bed made from IntelliLoft(TM) is saving space in our overflowing land-fills! What an awesome idea for an eco-friendly pet bed!


West Paw Design is offering fun new colors - I'm hoping for a size "L" "Eco-Nap" in the cool color "Lichen"!

The Bumi is also buoyant!


One thing my owner sure loves is that the Bumi is guaranteed to last! West Paw Design guarantees the durability or 1 free product replacement or refund! Now that is a deal I love! I'm gonna try my best to wear this toy down!! :)
