Wagging Green Unveils First Line of Bamboo Fiber Dog Products
New eco-friendly pet company gives 5% of all sales to green causes
Melbourne, FL – August 5, 2008 – Saving the earth one dog at a time, national eco-friendly pet company Wagging Green is proud to unveil the first line of bamboo fiber dog products in the United States. Made from 100% bamboo fiber, the new Wagging Green pet collection includes collars, t-shirts, harnesses, dog tags and martingale collars and leashes.
Introducing the first line of bamboo webbing in the United States, Wagging Green uses all natural, undyed 100% organic bamboo to ensure that nothing but natural is next to the pet’s skin. Bamboo fiber, the greenest fiber on earth, is bio-degradable and contains no pesticides or fertilizers. Wagging Green bamboo fiber dog products are anti-bacterial, fast drying and odor resistant for more than 50 washes – the perfect solution for a smelly dog collar.

Using a creative twist to educate pet parents about important eco-issues, Wagging Green has selected 7 environmental issues to correspond with each of their 7 pet products. From expanding solar power and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to cleaning up our oceans ecosystems and saving the honey bees, each Wagging Green pet product is a visual walking billboard for eco-education.

Bamboo is growing in popularity as an alternative to other grasses and woods because of its many environmental benefits. Bamboo plants grow quickly and do not require fertilizers or pesticides. The plants thrive with minimal water and can survive both droughts and floods. It is a sustainable and fast growing. Bamboo also releases more oxygen into the atmosphere than trees.
Bamboo - hypoallergenic, highly absorbent, fast-drying, anti-bacterial and odor resistant -is being used to make collars, leads and harnesses. Wagging Green Bamboo products design collars for specific environmental missions – from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to saving endangered species. The company also offers t-shirts that are naturally odor-resistant and fast-drying, with designs that accompany the collars and leads.
