Fun for pups and the planet
The Climbing-Rope Leash and Threads Dog Toy
Every year, an estimated 634 million pet toys—most made of plastic—end up in landfills. Experts estimate that pet food and treat packaging create 300 million pounds of plastic waste each year in the US alone. Plus, most of those packages are unrecyclable, meaning they end up in landfills.
Our partners find fur-tastic uses for discarded materials that have plenty of life left.

The Climbing-Rope Leash by YoColorado
Behind the goods:
Handmade in Golden, CO
We collected members’ retired climbing ropes and sent them to YoColorado. They removed any worn sections and made these durable leashes suitable for even the most adventurous pups.
