Only Natural Pet Store takes our environment into account in everything that we do. Our company is 100% powered by wind energy. Our packaging aims to reduce waste, conserve valuable resources and benefit the environment. We reuse recycled boxes and packing materials, and purchase only fully biodegradable, non-toxic packing peanuts made from cornstarch.  We are working to become a Zero Waste company, which means that we strive to prevent waste, and reuse, recycle and compost as much as possible. This includes paper, plastic bottles, pallet wrap plastic, food waste, and cardboard. We use 100% recycled paper, recycle used ink cartridges, and participate in our local CHARM Program for hard-to-recycle products and plastics.  We additionally seek out manufacturing partners who share these values. 

By default, the items we stock are lighter on the earth, because they utilize natural or organic materials that do not use chemicals, and often require less processing. Only Natural Pet Store also calculates our organizations Carbon Footprint, which measures the impact human activities have on the environment in the amount of green house gases produced. This Footprint helps us to determine ways we can reduce carbon emissions. A large number of our employees pedal their bikes to work or use the company subsidized Eco-Pass, supporting public transportation.

Our Retail Store starts the green shopping experience with an LED sign on the building exterior and an LED wiener dog Open sign! The indoor lighting is ECObulb, which uses 75% less energy than your standard 60 watt bulb, reducing energy demands. All secondary lighting is on a timer to be used only during darker hours of the day. The store staff strives for the same Zero Waste efforts by re-using, composting, recycling, and hosting hard-to-recycle events. Biodegradable bags are always on offer for bulk treats.
