Trying to live a greener life in your pet-friendly apartments in San Mateo? There are many ways to live an eco-friendly existence in your daily life, including while you’re at the dog wash station with your favorite dog. Stay green while you’re grooming with these helpful suggestions.

Use grooming products that are free of harmful chemicals, which not only hurt the environment but can also be dangerous to your pet. Some of the ingredients to avoid include sodium lauryl sulfate and parabens.

Try natural products instead, like Paw Earth shampoo, Earthbath Grooming Wipes, and  Cain & Able KissAble Toothpaste. Just don’t pick up any products that contain Tea Tree Oil; though it’s okay for humans, it can be harmful to dogs and cats.

Don’t put your pet under the dryer. Head outdoors for the most natural way to dry off: in the air. If you do have to dry your pet, make sure the air is cool. If your dog sheds a lot, keep him well-brushed to avoid mats and tangles.
