Hey Alysiak, you are ahead of the game. Tina, in answer to your question, first of all I have FOUR pooches. Two Giant Schnauzers and two Laso Apso. The big guys are big poop producers, my God! I have a great gardener that picks up most of that stuff and takes it to a special dumping place. He likes to leave a little around the grass as fertilizer. During the night, the big ones sleep in the garage and if they have accidents, I pick up the poop and place it in paper bags (I never use plastic) and save it for the gardener in the green bin.

The closest thing to going Green with my dogs has been feeding them with organic food brands. It is much more expensive but worth it as it will save me vet expenses later. The brands are "made in the USA" and are certified organic. They are very healthy and happy guys. Water is very important so we keep always clean bowls. I also make sure they eat fresh, boiled organic yams (2-3 pounds per week for the large ones and .5 to 1 pound for the little ones). Once a week they eat the cooked skin of salmon and I get fresh bones from the local grocery store weekly. They chew on those for ever!

The main challenge is when we put the Frontline on their coat to protect them from fleas and ticks. This is a strong chemical and do not like to have it around my husband during the first 24 hours of applying it. We do not use any other chemicals around the home not even ants or other insect sprays. The gardener uses non-toxic things to prevent exposure to these toxins for my hubby.
