When is PetSmart going to go green?

The pet industry is lagging behind others when it comes to embracing green practices.  While some manufacturers are moving forward, you have to wonder if they would have if the pet food recall hadn't happened. 

In terms of pet product retailers, PetSmart is  failing to show leadership in implementing greener business practices.  I've contacted them twice to ask about their green policy and haven't heard back from them in a month.  For a company with a 24-hr customer service department, this is unacceptable and signals to me that they don't have a green policy.

Help PetSmart see that GREEN equals more green by signing this petition.  This one simple action can send a strong signal that pet owners are demanding changes.  Let's encourage the pet industry to go green!

I have been a PetSmart customer for many years.  However, like many consumers, I am increasingly concerned about the environment and was wondering what PetSmart is doing to offer more eco-friendly products and introduce more sustainable business practices.  Quite frankly, I don%u2019t see any changes at my local store and this concerns me greatly.  Given the growing demand by consumers for environmentally-friendly products and services, I would expect that PetSmart, as the leading pet retailer in the U.S., would be actively developing sustainable business practices.

I would like to know if a green product policy is currently in the works and what other initiatives and products your company is undertaking to support the environment.  Specifically, I would also like to know if Exquisicat will be making its litter boxes from recycled plastic.  Exquisicat%u2019s competitor, Petmate, is already taking a lead by offering eco-friendly litter boxes made from 25% recycled content.  Until Exquisicat follows suit, I see no reason to purchase this brand.

With many eco-friendly alternatives entering the marketplace, it is becoming increasingly easy for me to change my shopping habits.  Because I prefer to support green businesses, I hope to hear about significant and meaningful changes in PetSmart%u2019s business practices.  However, if your company lacks a cohesive sustainable business strategy, I will continue to shift my spending to companies that actively support green business practices.
