Keeping hydrated is important for pets as well as humans, so when you’re out and about with your dog, it makes sense to take along water for him too. Now that plastic bottles have such a bad press, stainless steel is the cleanest and safest container to keep your water fresh and pure.

These stainless bottles are specially designed with a roller ball top, so that your pet can lick water straight from the bottle, which could be convenient when you don’t want to carry a bowl along too. These bottles look pretty cool and trendy and come in four bright colors.

Just make sure you don’t get your water bottle confused with his, unless you want to share doggie saliva!

Costs $16.95 from Jake’s Dog House

Winter walks in snow and ice aren’t much fun for some dogs, who get clumps of ice forming  around paws making them sore and painful. These biodegradable rubber dog boots could be the answer, protecting paws not just from the cold and wet but also from the chemicals used in road salt and any other irritations.

They are made from a biodegradable rubber, stretchy and waterproof. With no zippers they just fit onto the paws and stay on well, but are thin enough for your dog to feel the ground. They can be re-used a few times and then disposed of when they are worn out.

Available in several bright colors they come in packs of 12. While perhaps not the cheapest and greenest of options (they are biodegradable, but can’t be used more than a few times each), at least they make your pet more comfortable in bad weather conditions and any other times they need extra paw protection.

Costs between $14.99 and $18.49 for packet of 12 from Only Natural Pet Store.

If you’ve dreamed of getting rid of the litter box, this cat training toilet seat could be the answer. Apparently some cats take to it easily, though other owners had no luck with it. The idea is that you train your cat to use the seat at floor level with a litter box underneath and then graduate to your pet using the seat on the actual toilet, saving the use of litter ever after. For dedicated owners this could be a great way of helping the environment and doing away with all that used litter filling up landfill sites, but it does take quite a bit of effort to make it work and depends entirely on your cat whether it will oblige! Worth a try, though it is quite expensive if it doesn’t work.

Currently costs $72.59 at Amazon.com
