Let Pup wear an Eco-friendly statement for all to see...
Recycled Plastic
Harry Barker Collars & Leashes
​
You'll not want for plentiful color and texture options from Harry Barker's vast collection of collars and leashes made from post consumer plastics. Touting leashes that put 20 plastic water bottles to good use, you'll feel good in helping to keep fewer plastics from entering landfills and oceans, while your pup can strut in style. Leather and recycled steel accents complete the look, serving dual purpose "green" and tasteful. Soft and smooth to the touch, one would not realize they were made of plastic, and, as an added bonus, many are machine washable, and dry very quickly - perfect for bath-time and rainy day walks.
​
Available in solids with piping (available to be personalized with a monogram), preppy stripes, gingham checks and tone-on-tone braiding, adjustable collar sizes range from small (8-14" by 3/4" wide) to medium (12-20" by 1" wide) to large (16-26" by 1" wide) and are generally priced from $24 to $26, depending on size, with leashes starting at $26. You can view the current collection on Harry Barker's website.

Bamboo
Wagging Green Collars, Leashes & Harnesses
​
Bamboo takes yet another form, this time as a webbing for durable, washable and Eco-friendly collars, leashes and harnesses. Available in a wide variety of solids and prints, collars can be ordered as a martingale (slip) or with a quick-release buckle, with sizes ranging from small (10-15") up to large (18-26") with a variety of widths (1/2" to 1") also available, depending on collar selected. Prices are ~$18-$20 for collars (dependent on size ordered) and leashes start at $26 - they even have a tandem coupler, perfect for those walking two pups at once (~$13)! If your pup is more of a distributed pressure harness type, there are several harnesses available, as well, ranging from ~$28 to $33 (small - 11-18" girth to large - 17-31" girth). Check out all the options via the Wagging Green website, where you can also read of all the good green initiatives they have going on~

Leather
Hund Rolled/Round Leather Collars & Leashes
Providing classic, classy and elevated dog-wear for nearly twenty years, HUND of Denmark uses naturally sourced leather, vegetable tanned and free of any harsh chemicals or irritants, also making their products biodegradable. Their stylish rolled/round leather collars and leashes feature inverted seams, which are as much functional (saving pup's coat) as they are fashionable.
​
Available in several standard colors such as cream, brown and black, they also offer statement making options such as red/black, pink/purple and blue/black. Collars are offered in two-inch increments from 8 inches to 18 inches, all 1/4 inch in diameter, and range from about $47 to $9 dollars. And who could resist picking up a coordinating Luxury 6-Way Rolled Leather Leash at the same time? Ranging from 1/4 to 1/2 inch diameter (select based on your pup's size), they're made of the same luxurious eco-friendly leather as the collars (and in the same colors), can adjust in length from 4 to 6 feet, be worn cross-body, and even absorb shock for the more rambunctious pups out there. Priced just under $100, they'll last a lifetime!
