You've adopted a green, eco-friendly lifestyle. Why not pass the eco-consciousness on to your dog? Get Fido to go green this Christmas. Here are seven eco-friendly, green gift ideas for your dog.

Eco Slumber Bed
Available from: West Paw Designs
Price: $78 - $156 (size dependent)
What dog wouldn't want a new bed? Rest assured, you'll sleep easy (and Fido will too!) knowing this this Earth-friendly dog bed is made of nearly all recycled materials. The fabric contains 85% recycled fibers and it is filled with 100% recycled fiber fill. It uses West Paw Design's special IntelliLoft™ fiber fill. It's also been tested 100% eco-safe by third parties, so you know this is an excellent, green product. It comes in a retro-design of brown, blue, green, and orange squares, and has a zipper opening.

Hemp Adjustable Decorative Dog Collar
Available at: Earth Dog
Price: $20-$25 (size dependent)
Dog collars always wear out so fast, so get your pet a new collar this Christmas. These Earth-friendly, adjustable dog collars are made of 100% hemp canvas and feature quick release hardware. Everything at Earth Dog is made of high quality hemp materials, handmade in the USA, and 10% of its profits go to a non-profit dog neutering/spraying organization. 19 different styles are available, ranging from flowers, to stars, to dog bones - you'll definitely find the right collar to suit your dog's personality!

Orbee-Tuff Bulb Orbo with Treat Spot
Available at: Planet Dog
Price: $10.95
This Christmas toy from Planet Dog is just like a Kong, except it's eco-friendly. It's made of Planet Dog's signature "Orbee Tuff" material, which is completely non-toxic and the compound is 100% recyclable. Simply squirt a flavored spread or hide treats inside the Orbee and your dog will be entertained for hours. With its festive Christmas light bulb shape, it makes an excellent holiday gift for your dog. Available in red or green.

Organic Dog Biscuits
Available at: EcoAnimal
Price: $8.95
Dogs always love getting treats, and including yummy goodies with their gift is always an excellent idea. These organic-certified dog biscuits contain human-grade certified organic ingredients. Three varieties are available and special biscuits for older dogs are offered. Purchase in bulk (3 containers or more) and the price drops to $7.95 per container.

Christmas Dog Treat Gift Box
Available at: K-9 Confections All Natural Dog Treats
Price: $12
Looking at the picture, this looks so appetizing, you'll want to eat it! K-9 Confections offers an adorable dog treat gift basket featuring six all-natural, handmade Christmas doggie treats. Everything is made of organic grains and vegetables and free of corn, soy, and wheat ingredients. Three flavors are available - peanut butter, vegetarian, and pumpkin. Personally, I'd stay away from the peanut butter because I'd be tempted to eat it!

Recycled Material Toys
Available at: EcoAnimal
Price: $13.95
Dogs always love getting new toys for gifts. These soft chew toys are made of 85% post-consumer recycled soda bottles.

Cozy Hemp Harness
Available at: Planet Dog
Price: $29.95
If you have a very small dog, you probably need a harness when taking your four-legged friend on walks. Harnesses get worn out quickly, so treat your dog to a new one. This eco-friendly harness from Planet dog is fully adjustable, has chrome hardware, and features a comfortable and warm fleece lining. Best of all, the material is 100% hemp!

    Isn't this sad? I passed on someone's "What to buy the Husband for Christmas" and read your article instead! I seemed to be more interested in what to purchase for the pooch! Cheers.
