Corbett Marshall and Jim Deskevich

foreword by Thomas Mason

If the family is eating organic foods, recycling, and steering clear of chemicals, why shouldn't it be the same for Fido? Eco Dog is a comprehensive guide to nontoxic and planet-friendly dog care. It delivers information on the potential dangers of conventional pet food, grooming products, and accessories and then offers shopping tips and 25 homeprojects for all-natural alternatives. Rosemary Conditioner replaces chemical-laden flea collars while a Felted Dog Blanket recycles sweaters long past their prime. With cheerful photos of doggies enjoying organic treats, Eco Dog is a clear reminder that a healthy dog is a happy dog.

Corbett Marshall and Jim Deskevich are partners in Variegated, Inc., a manufacturer of custom bedding located in Catskill, New York.

Aimee Herring is a New York City-based photographer.

Thomas Mason, DVM, is a veterinarian in San Francisco.
