Dear friends of EWG, I'm a dog on a mission.

According to the latest research from EWG, I'm the canary in the living room, soaking up more chemicals than you or your children.

New tests confirmed that I'm full of toxic industrial chemicals, and I'm barking mad. You should be, too. I grow 7 times faster than humans, so what happens to pets like me - increased cancer rates, for one - might be happening to people soon. Did you know that the humans' government doesn't make companies test our toys, furniture, or even our food for safety? That's why I'm launching Pets for the Environment with the help of Environmental Working Group.

If you care about pets, join me in my mission to create a healthy and safe environment for all of us. Sign up for my email updates on pet health, food, products and our guide full of tips to make the world a safer place for pets.

Humans have made a mess, but they're not doing anything about it. It's up to us pets to take action. I'm working with the scientists at Environmental Working Group (a human-run organization) to:

 

test pet food and water to make sure it's safe and healthy

find out what's really in our shampoos and flea repellents

push companies to stop using unsafe chemicals and get the human government to pass legislation to protect pets (and people, too!)

 

This is the only time I'll send you an email asking you to join me (it's not easy to type with paws), so click here to sign up.

I need your help educating our humans and getting their government to pass toxic chemical reform. They'll never listen to just one pet, but all of us barking and meowing and cawing and squeaking together can make a lot of noise!

Click here to join me and together we'll make the world safe for pets!

All of us pets deserve safe food, water, and toys. If we don't stand up for pets everywhere, who will?

Your furry crusader,

Eddie
