About the Calculations:

  • Our initial carbon pawprint ranges are based on a combination of factors, including your dog's size, diet type, and lifestyle habits. We've factored in the estimated environmental impact of food production, waste disposal, and other contributing elements.

  • Due to the complexity of pet-specific carbon footprint calculation, our current ranges are estimates. We are actively researching ways to improve accuracy.

We're always learning! To improve this calculator, we're continuously reviewing peer-reviewed studies, sustainability reports, and government data on emissions. Our goal is to provide the most accurate and helpful information possible for eco-conscious dog owners.
