Caring for your dogs and the planet
Environmental stewardship
Using countryside for walks and socialisation, comes with a significant responsibility. Much of the British countryside has been decimated over the years, mainly due to opening up natural areas. This has caused much destruction of hedgerows and the need to fell trees to provide more public space. This has consequently lead to the removal of homes for insects and forage for bees.
At SOBO Hounds, we aim to not only use spaces dedicated for public use, but help maintain and continue to help plant native hedging, trees and plant bedding, by working with local and national forestry and wildlife charities and trusts, in order preserve pathways and home habitats for birds, mammals and insects alike.
Recycling & waste
We understand our responsibility to deal with the waste that is generated by not only our pups, but also our business and employees. At SOBO Hounds we not only offer standard recycling; but where possible, use specialist drop-off or collection services for clean paper, bottles/ cans and coffee cups.
In order to encourage the non-use of disposable coffee cups we provide all of our helpers with one of our eco-friendly bamboo, pine needle or stainless steel keepy-cups for hot and cold drinks.
When it comes to dog waste generated on-site, we aim to work with pet waste solutions, collected by specialist businesses, who process the waste and convert this to energy.
As an ongoing project, we will always continue to help reduce our landfill waste, by sourcing more environmentally and sustainable business solutions!
