Do you also have a pet at home? Or maybe in the stable? We have a dog, and currently it’s obvious she’s shedding. But where to put all the hair? In the garbage? Somehow that seems to be the wrong decision for us.

So, I took a look at what you can do with all the fur. And it turns out: a lot!

If you only have small amounts of fur, then you can have jewelry or pendants made from it. If you know more wool will accumulate, then start collecting it. You can either send it in and have it spun into yarn to be creative yourself, or you can donate the fur. If you have collected enough, you can even ship it for free! With rohstoffe-retten.com, that is already possible from 500 grams.

By the way: Not only dog owners can participate here. Cat fur or horse fur can also be processed. The advantage of fur from pets? It is usually much more well-kept than classic sheep’s wool, so it is also easier to clean in processing and less harmful to the environment.

By the way, you don’t have to worry about the smell. Due to the treatment of the fur, the wool from dog fur does not smell different than a hat from sheep’s wool does. And also for people with allergies there is – at least in most cases – the all clear, and the dog wool can be worn without any problems.
