Celebrate Your Furry Friends: Top 10 Ways to Honor National Pet Day!
Pet Day is the perfect reminder to slow down and show a little extra love to the animals who bring joy, loyalty, and laughter into our everyday lives.
Ever looked at your dog sprawled out in the sun or your cat curled up in a laundry basket and thought, “You deserve the world”? You’re not alone. Whether your pet is a rescue mutt, a posh Persian, or a turtle named Speedy, Pet Day is a great excuse to pause and show them some love. But here’s the thing—how do you celebrate in a way that actually means something?
Let’s ditch the guilt about forgetting National Love Your Pet Day or not buying that overpriced toy. This blog is packed with simple, useful, and fun ways to care for your pets while doing a little good for the planet too. Yep, sustainable petcare is a thing, and we’re here for it.
What Worries Pet Parents the Most?
Here’s what we hear a lot:
- “Am I doing enough for my pet?”
- “Is this product safe?”
- “Why is pet stuff always made of plastic?”
- “Can I spoil my pet and still care about the planet?”
If that sounds familiar, keep reading. We’ve rounded up 10 real, doable ways to celebrate Pet Day that’ll make tails wag and hearts happy.
Upgrade Their Mealtime with Sustainable Tableware
Skip the generic plastic bowls. Try switching to durable, non-toxic tableware made from biomaterials or recycled stainless steel. It’s easy to clean, lasts longer, and looks good sitting in your kitchen too.
Bonus: You’ll be cutting down on plastic waste—win for your pet and for the planet.
DIY Treat Time (Without the Junk)
On National Love Your Pet Day, show your affection with homemade treats using real ingredients like pumpkin, oats, or sweet potato. No fillers. No weird preservatives. And your pet? They’ll know the difference.
To truly care pet the right way means choosing products and routines that support both their well-being and the planet’s health.
Tip: Store the treats in reusable glass jars or sustainable storage containers to keep them fresh and plastic-free.
Gift Them a Cozy Corner With a Green Touch
Pets love a nook of their own. Make them a comfy space using upcycled cushions or a blanket you no longer use. Toss in a plant in a fair trade pot (out of reach of course) to brighten the spot without harming them.
Look for: Indoor plants that are pet-safe like spider plants, areca palms, or bamboo.
Organize Pet Gear with Sustainable Storage Solutions
Leashes, toys, treats—it adds up. Tidy up with eco-friendly storage bins made from jute, upcycled fabric, or wood. They’re sturdy, kind to the earth, and way better looking than plastic bins shoved in a corner.
Go for a Long Walk—Off the Routine Path
Sometimes, the best gift you can give your pet is your time. Find a new trail or explore a pet-friendly park. Take the slow route. Let them sniff everything. On Pet Day, it’s their adventure.
Freshen Up Their Accessories (Without the Waste)
If your pet’s collar is fraying or their leash has seen better days, swap it for one made from recycled or plant-based materials. There are loads of options now that are durable, stylish, and biodegradable.
Give Their Bowls, Beds & Toys a Deep Green Clean
You’d be surprised what builds up in pet bowls and bedding. Give them a scrub using natural cleaning agents like vinegar and baking soda. No harsh chemicals, and way safer for their health.
Also: Switch to washable toys over cheap plastic ones. Less waste, more wag.
Celebrate with a Low-Waste Pet Party
Got multiple pets or friends with pets? Throw a mini Pet Day party! Use compostable tableware, keep decorations minimal, and skip balloons (they’re not pet-safe anyway). Hand out homemade treats in reusable bags.
Switch to Sustainable Petcare Products
Look at your everyday supplies: shampoo, wipes, litter, even poop bags. Chances are, there’s a sustainable petcare alternative out there—plant-based, cruelty-free, compostable, or refillable.
Simple switches:
- Biodegradable poop bags
- Refillable grooming sprays
- Compostable litter made from recycled paper or coconut husk.
Support Local & Ethical Pet Brands
Not all pet products are created equal. Some support fair trade, use upcycled materials, or fund animal rescue programs. This Pet Day, put your money where your values are. Every purchase makes a small impact toward a better world.

Whether it’s National Pet Day or National Love Your Pet Day, the idea is simple: show up for your furry, feathery, or scaly companions in ways that make sense, feel good, and do a little good too.
You don’t need to buy a dozen new things. Try one of these:
- Swap out your pet’s old plastic bowl for a greener one
- Give their space a cozy upgrade with things you already have
- Bake them something special
- Choose a pet toy made from reused or natural materials
These aren’t just little things—they’re love in action. And they help make healthier homes for pets and humans.
Visit eha’s range of sustainable pet bowls to choose, made with biocomposite materials using crop-waste such as rice husk, bamboo fibers and coffee husk.
