Dog Fitness Adventures
Green Initiatives

Pant & Wag (PAW) is dedicated to a healthy and safe environment. Clean air may be even more important for dogs than it is for humans; a dog's normal respiratory rate is 18-34 breaths per minute while an adult human's rate is only 12-20 breaths per minute. Since dog's take more breaths, they inhale more pollutants and more CO2. Additionally, the canine's primary cooling-down method of panting is known to not be as effective as human's sweating mechanism. As such, the warming of the earth could potentially have more adverse effects for dogs than for humans.

PAW has launched the following eco-friendly green initiatives:

• Paperless Communications - both internal and external forms, guides, bill payments/receivables, and instructions are presented in a paperless/electronic medium whenever possible.
• Biodegradable Poop Bags - Yes, dogs poop. And when they do, we are prepared! Our biodegradable poop bags meet ASTM D6400 standard, which means after they are used they will decompose at a similar rate to that of an apple core. While dog poop might sound like a small issue it is a major environmental concern.
• Eco-Friendly Dog Leashes - Pant & Wag uses the Premier ECO Dog Leash, made of 100% recycled Plastic Milk Cartons
• Canine Caravan - Your dog will be transported to and from his Fitness Adventure in a best in class fuel efficiency vehicle. Click here for more information.
