Care for companion animals is no longer limited to basic “pet care.” Instead, pets are increasingly treated as family members who share the same lifestyle standards as humans. This shift toward eco-health has also found expression in popular culture.
The recently published book Hello Buddy has attracted attention for its gentle yet powerful message.
The book presents conversations between a New Zealand herbalist father and his Golden Retriever, Buddy. Through these dialogues, readers are invited to reflect on a simple but profound idea:
Companion animal health also requires eco-friendly awareness and professional knowledge.

Hello Buddy book has resonated with readers by framing eco-health not as a trend, but as a way of life rooted in connection—between humans, animals, and nature. Experts agree that this movement is not temporary. As people choose eco-friendly lifestyles for themselves, they are now extending those same values to their companion animals.
At the center of this shift is a rapidly emerging concept: Eco-Health.
Rather than relying solely on chemical treatments or artificial interventions, pet guardians are turning toward environmentally conscious, sustainable, and preventive wellness approaches. Eco-friendly health care is quickly becoming a new standard in the companion animal industry.
