Friday 24th November
It’s not always easy being green, and with the largest consumerist weekend of the year looming we’re here to help you in your mission to buy better by supporting an independent business that has sustainability at its heart.
Green Friday started in 2017 by a group of independent retailers and climate activists and focuses on the positive things we can do for the planet, our health, independent retailers and charities.
What Green Friday Deals will we have available?
This week as the pandemonium of Black Friday draws its dark veil over the western world, here at your favourite natural pet store, we have been putting our heads together and working out ways in which we can make a positive impact this November.
Green Friday is a counter movement designed to bring some semblance of ethics and morality back into what should be a time of year that is full of charity, family and good cheer.
Green Friday is designed to focus on the best things in life rather than what capitalism tries to make us believe they are. Getting out in nature for some exercise and fresh air, spending time with a loved one, donating time and resources to charities and other good causes, planting some seeds for next spring, supporting independent businesses, and buying from sustainable brands, are just a few of the wonderful ideas that Green Friday supporters have suggested as alternatives to lining the pockets of large corporations and wasting vital natural resources.
Do something different and get away from the shopping!
In Cornwall we are so lucky to be surrounded by a cornucopia of beautiful countryside to get out into with our dogs. But no matter wherever you may be, you can take the opportunity to get you and your four legged friends out to frolic in the flora and fauna of the great British outdoors.
At Natural Cornish Pet we are proud to stock some of the best eco-conscious pet brands around, as well as producing a fantastic range of, planet friendly, vegetarian dog treats of our very own. Brands such as Earth Animal, Green & Wilds and the amazing Aflora Grain Free are all fantastic ambassadors for reducing the carbon paw-prints of our animals, whilst still producing top quality treats, chews and foods.
Another great way of reducing your pets' effect on the environment is to reduce the quantity of meat in their diets. A fantastically simple but effective way of doing this is with our vegetable dog chews and you can discover our all delicious vegetarian dog treats.
Natural Cornish Pet also supports the RSPCA Cornwall, WWF and the Cornwall branch of the National Animal Welfare Trust, so you can be sure that every time you support us, there is an animal that will have our support in return.
So, this winter, why not sidestep the kerfuffle of Black Friday and avoid buying into the capitalist ideals that have somewhat dampened the true meaning of this time of year, and put the cheer, charity and Christmas spirit right back into your winter.
TEDDY Talks was created by Katy Peck, a passionate dog advocate with years of hands-on experience in behaviour, training, and nutrition. As the co-founder of one of Cornwall’s busiest dog day care centres, Katy helped care for up to 80 dogs a day, learning first-hand what makes dogs feel calm, confident, and understood.
In 2018, she brought that knowledge into the world of natural nutrition by opening a pet shop focused on healthy, wholesome choices — supporting thousands of customers with thoughtful advice, honest information, and a personal touch.
TEDDY Talks is the natural next step: a way to take everything we’ve shared in person and make it available to every dog lover, everywhere. These free downloads and training tools are built from real experience, not just theory — and grounded in kindness, patience, and the belief that when we understand why, we can teach how.
