We are all about saving trees, but if you’d like to spread the good-n-green word by posting an Ideal Bite tip in a public place, we encourage you do so on recycled paper. Thanks and Happy Biting!

If 10,000 SF Biters purchase only recycled or renewable pet supplies, in a year we'll pump $1,610,000 into sustainable businesses.

Seven dogs and cats are born every day for each person in the United States.

Faux Paw

The Bite:

Are you disgracing your pet with an ugly doghouse? Make amends at pet-welfare org PAWS's Petchitecture benefit gala tomorrow night, where you and your four-legged friend can check out a collection of posh pet palaces. Created by top Bay Area designers and architects such as MBH (MoMo's) and Huntsman Architectural Group (Pixar), these dog and cat residences incorporate sustainable and recycled resources such as bamboo, reclaimed and FSC-certified wood, even empty dog food cans. Get a professional pic with your pet; enjoy the hosted bar (best two words ever?) and lots of food; and stop by the Bow Wow Bar, stocked with furry-companion treats galore. You'll be back in Snowy's good graces pronto...
