100% Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags

One of our goals at The Zen Pooch is to utilize products that not only benefit our pooches, but also help sustain the Earth.

We are proud to let you know that we exclusively use Certified 100% Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags from BioBag.

These are the ONLY poop bags that meet California law for biodegradable AND compostable products. You can even place them in the Green bins with other yard waste.



The following is some info from their website:

Our goal is to help divert all naturally biodegradable waste from entering our landfills. This includes food waste, yard waste, paper waste and pet waste. If any of these items are placed in an anaerobic (air-locked) landfill, their natural ability to biodegrade can be severely diminished.

The best solution for disposal of pet waste has always been to separate it from the bag or paper and flush it down the toilet. Using BioBags extends your options. The waste and the bag can be thrown in your backyard compost, where both items can decompose naturally; the waste and bag can be buried, where micro-organisms will quickly eat both; the waste and bag can be set at curbside with other yard waste where communities collect biodegradable waste for composting. Please check with your community for disposal options.

This is what biodegradable waste separation is all about. We thank you for being concerned, responsible pet owners.

Reiki for Animals

We are extremely excited to announce our partnership with long time friend Alison Acaster and her company:

Beaming Hands
Reiki and a Smile



WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is an ancient hands-on healing method that treats the whole person - body, emotions, mind and spirit - creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

HOW DOES REIKI WORK?
Reiki is a simple treatment, consisting of the calm, concentrated laying on of hands, with the practitioner focusing on healing and giving energy to specific areas of the receiver's body.

CAN ANIMALS BENEFIT?
Reiki works effectively on all living things.

ARE THERE ANY HEALTH BENEFITS?
Alison's cat Lucy has suffered from Feline Asthma her whole life. She spent 9 years having attacks and getting monthly steroid shots. Since first receiving Reiki in 2006 Lucy has not had any asthma attacks and has not taken ANY medicine since January 2007.


Rev. Alison E Acaster is an ordained minister and a fully insured member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals.
