Sustainable Dog Ownership
Manage episode 358633732 series 2921134
On this month’s episode of the Sustainability Solved Podcast, we are talking about Britain’s favourite pet: dogs. Research estimates that there are 13 million dogs in UK homes, a number which grew significantly during lockdown; it is estimated that 3.2 million households in the UK acquired a pet during the pandemic. Despite our love for the growing canine population, we can’t ignore the environmental impacts that come with dog ownership.
We are joined by Stephen Jenkinson, a consultant who uses applied psychology to help people like landowners, property developers, councils, and national parks to influence where dog walkers go and what they do. Stephen specialises in how to promote the good things about dog ownership and dog walking whilst minimising any adverse effects on other people, wildlife, or farm animals.
Highlights:
- Studies from the past 20 years have highlighted the positives of dog ownership, from better physical and mental health, to being more sociable.
- Stephen identified a gap in the market, realising that no one was talking about dog welfare and environmental welfare collectively.
- Stephen’s work is funded by organisations like the Kennel Club, the largest organisation in the UK devoted to dog health, welfare, and training. Their objective is to ensure dogs live healthy and happy lives whilst educating people on how to be responsible owners.
- One of the biggest environmental concerns with ownership is dog waste; not disposing of this in the correct manner can impact the natural environment (such as change in soil properties) and makes the natural environment increasingly unpleasant especially for those with mobility impairment using wheelchairs, prams, or any mode of transport with wheels.
- Stephen reveals that dog waste can go in most landfill waste bins, something that studies have shown more than 60% of dog owners are not aware of.
- Signage is incredibly important when it comes to dog waste bins; making clear where and how to dispose of dog waste can reduce the unpleasant impact on the environment.
- Making the switch to dog waste bags derived from corn-starch will ensure that your dog waste is completely compostable.
- With many returning to the office full time, commercial and professional dog walkers are being hired to look after dogs when their owners are at work.
- Stephen tells us about a project he worked on with Scottish Natural Heritage where he ran workshops for dog owners and commercial dog walkers, highlighting the environmental issues linked to dog walking and how to overcome this.
