Microplastics & Pets | Plastic-Free Products Every Pet Parent Should Know
Are your pet’s toys, food bowls, and everyday products exposing them to harmful plastics and toxins? In this episode of The Live Lightly Podcast, I sit down with Jennifer Roberge and Laura Dolgy, co-owners of The Kind Pet, to explore the hidden dangers of plastic in pet care and how sustainable choices can protect both our pets and the planet.
As advocates for eco-friendly and low-tox living, Jennifer and Laura share the personal journeys that inspired them to create a brand focused on reducing plastic waste and offering safer, more sustainable pet products. Together, we unpack the growing concerns around microplastics, plastic exposure, household toxins, sustainable pet care, and eco-friendly pet products—and why these conversations matter for the long-term health of our furry companions.
In this conversation, we discuss practical ways to reduce plastic use in your pet’s daily life, how home-cooked meals can support pet health while lowering environmental impact, and how to navigate an industry filled with misleading “greenwashed” marketing claims. You’ll also learn how to choose safer toys, bowls, pet food, and supplies made from more sustainable, earth-friendly materials.
Whether you’re beginning your low-tox journey or looking for simple ways to create a healthier home for both your family and your pets, this episode is filled with actionable tips to help you make informed, sustainable choices—without overwhelm or perfectionism.

The hidden dangers of plastic in pet toys, bowls, and packaging
