Introduction

A precious little girl walks into a PetSmart store and asks, in the sweetest little lisp, between two missing teeth, "Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?"

As the shopkeeper's heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he's on her level and asks,"Do you want a widdle white wabbit,or a thoft and fuwwy, bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?" She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, crosses her little arms, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice:

"I don't think my python weally gives a thit."

Green Initiatives

At PetSmart, all of our cat and dog wet food aluminum cans are recyclable.

Reusable Shopping Bag Most plastic bags are not recycled. They end up in landfills where

they’ll remain for up to 1,000. PetSmart wants to do their part by providing a truly unique, reusable alternative.

In 2008, we launched the PetSmart Reusable Tote to help reduce the burden of plastic bag waste.

10% of bag sales are donated to support PetSmart Charities. Since their introduction, we have donated $250,000 to PetSmart

Charities.

Shares of the largest provider in North America have skyrocketed 45% this year, to $27 from a 52-week low of $15 on Dec. 15, 2008

Because of that strong move, several analysts have put PetSmart on hold.

And since their price targets have already been reached in less than a year, they've taken some profits.
