Sustainable gear for everyday adventures
Choosing the right collar, leash, or harness matters for your dog’s comfort and for the planet. At The Kind Pet, we’ve curated sustainable dog collars, recycled dog collars, and recycled dog harness options made from better materials, not plastic-heavy fabrics that wear out fast or end up in landfills.
Every item in this collection is designed to be durable, low-waste, and made with your dog’s safety in mind. You’ll find USA-made pieces, plastic-free designs, and products handcrafted from natural or upcycled materials. These essentials support daily walks but also reflect your commitment to more mindful, eco-friendly choices.
Why choose sustainable dog collars and harnesses?
Typical collars and harnesses are made of nylon, polyester, or synthetic dyes. These break down over time, shed microplastics, and can irritate your dog’s skin. Sustainable dog collars and recycled dog harness options offer a cleaner, safer alternative.
This collection includes pieces made with:
- Upcycled or recycled materials
- Plastic-free or low-waste hardware
- Cork, cotton, and recycled ocean plastic
- Handcrafted and USA-made construction
These materials last longer, stay comfortable for your dog, and help you reduce your environmental footprint.

How to choose the best sustainable collar, leash, or harness
Choosing the right gear is easier when you know what to look for:
- Pick safe materials: Look for cork, cotton, recycled plastic, or natural fibers. These reduce waste and avoid the use of harsh chemicals.
- Consider your dog’s size and habits: Strong pullers need secure hardware and sturdy webbing. Small dogs may benefit from lighter collars or a recycled dog harness that reduces strain.
- Avoid plastic when you can: Plastic buckles and nylon fabrics shed microplastics and break down faster over time.
- Choose recycled or upcycled options: Recycled dog collars and leashes help keep plastic out of oceans and landfills.
- Think long-term: Sustainable dog collars and leashes often last longer, saving money and reducing waste.
A few simple swaps can make your dog’s daily walks safer, cleaner, and more eco-friendly.
