We know as dog owners ourselves that there are times when that poo bag just isn’t in your pocket …so we wanted to help provide a solution that supports dog owners in tackling this problem.
Helping you clear up after your dog…
We are proud to partner with Eco Green Communities to provide an environmentally conscious solution, to ensure dog waste is disposed of in a sustainable and planet-friendly manner. So while you're out on a walk keep an eye out for our Petplan dog waste stations which are located around England, dispensing 100% compostable poo bags ensuring an eco-safe and environmentally-friendly choice.
As a Petplan customer you can benefit from a 20% discount on 100% compostable poo bags and other eco lifestyle products. To find out more on this and a range of other customer offers login to your MyPetplan account here and go to the MySupport page.
Helping you to positively impact the planet….
If you don’t happen to be near one of our stations, look for dog poo bags that are labelled compostable or biodegradable, so they won’t add to the world’s plastic waste. Biodegradable bags are made from material that will degrade and decompose over time, leaving no polluting residues. Bags that are certified compostable are not only biodegradable, but should break down in as little as three months.
Is your dog’s poo normal?
Aside from being something you have to scoop up on walks, your dog’s poo can provide clues about their overall health. Here, Petplan vet Brian Faulkner reveals the different appearances that your pet’s faeces can take – and what each could indicate. If any abnormal symptoms or signs continue for more than a couple of days, it’s always worth paying a visit to your vet to get your dog checked out.
