Choose from several cat litter options that are Environmentally safe, biodegradable, Non-GMO, Fragrance-free, and dye-free. Also, a few automatic litter boxes that work with non-clay litters.
*I prefer to use companies that privately manufacture their food. Why? In 2007 hundreds of brands of dog foods were caught in a recall because they used 1 of the 2 major manufacturers.
Companies that privately manufacture their food tend to work closely with their suppliers, maintaining quality control because it is in their own facility, and batch-test their food BEFORE they release it for sale.

4 piece Cookware set is Teflon Free and Nickel Free cookware. I love these pots, they are heavy and pretty. Learning to cook without Teflon took some adjustment. Coconut oil didn’t help prevent sticking when trying to cook things like pancakes but vegan butter did. The control lids allow you to keep steam in or open it to release some steam. The best part is you can use the lid to strain out the liquid without dirtying a separate strainer.
Steamer insert: This nickel-free stainless steel insert will help you cook the healthiest food possible. This insert has several “ridges” to fit different-sized pots. I use it in my big pot featured in this picture.
