1. Choose pet food without the chemical preservatives BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin.
2. Vary cats’ diets to limit their exposure to mercury in seafood.
3. Choose organic or free-range ingredients rather than "by-products."
4. Use a reverse osmosis, faucet-mounted, or pitcher filter to remove contaminants before filling your pet’s water bowl.
5. Optional stain-proof treatments on couches, carpets, and car upholstery are loaded with toxic chemicals. For the sake of your family and your pets' health, it's best to avoid these.
6. An overheated nonstick pan can kill pet birds, and it gives off chemicals that may be bad for other pets and people too. Try cast iron instead.
7. Care for your lawn without using insecticides which may cause nervous system damage in pets that walk on the treated lawn, eat the grass, or breathe in the chemicals.
8. Use kitty litter made of plant sources like wheat or recycled newspaper.
9. Flea collars are generally ineffective and also a source of constant toxic exposure for your pet and family. Instead, vacuum often and thoroughly, bathe your pet regularly, and ask your vet or local pet store about safer flea treatments and repellents.
10. Pet product manufacturers are not required to list ingredients on labels. Some ingredients to avoid are those that include the terms "paraben," "-eth," "PEG," "urea," or "fragrance."
