Your dog’s physical footprint may be small, but his carbon footprint and what that means for the environment is larger than you might expect.
One analysis shows the impact of a medium-sized dog is greater than that of an SUV, while another study shows feeding the world’s dogs and cats creates 64 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
