If you've got an extra $2,200 to spend on your kid (or $650 for your furry kid), Modern Cabana offers mini-sized — but equally sustainable — versions of their prefab backyard "cabanas" so your little ones can be just like Mom and Dad. More

Why would anyone expect a dog to readily accept a tiny new pack member who hogs all the attention and generates weird smells and sounds? Countless dogs are given up by new parents worried about their baby's safety, and we didn't want that to be our story.

We know a lot of you have canine friends that live with you in small spaces. So, we're wondering: out of all the different breeds out there, which ones are best suited for apartment living? More

Do you buy locally for your pets? I may be late to the game on this one but I recently added "buying locally produced dog food" to my list of ways I contribute to reducing my carbon footprint. I had been shopping at Petsmart, which I guess is the Wal-Mart/Target of the animal world but recently happened upon a local dog goods store that sold me on a higher quality dog food made locally in Texas.

So we've all heard about chocolate. It's bad for dogs, even dangerous. But there are other everyday food items that you'll want to keep well out of reach of your dog to protect their health. Below, a short list, plus the reasons why. More

It's not everyday that you get to have an architect design a home just for you that's green, healthy, and attractive. And it's definitely not every day that the family pet gets such attention to detail for his home! But that is the case for Henri, the inhabitant of this eco doghouse: More

If, like so many of us, you are a cat owner, you have probably tried all manner of litter options in order to determine the best value/usage/environmentally-conscious combo. A few years ago Allie at The Greenists explored this eco alternative, and it’s practically free! More
