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.
