Sustainability

Our pets produce an exceptional amount of waste and emissions. At The Kind Pet, we believe we can driving sustainable change by improving our pet’s lifestyle not only for the planet, but for their well-being as well.

From manufacturing, sourcing, packaging, and shipping, we are 100% committed to making a kinder, cleaner planet.

Reduce your footprint without sacrificing quality.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity loss is a critical threat to our planet, driven by pollution, habitat destruction, and unsustainable practices. At The Kind Pet, we take action in the following ways:

  • Low-Impact Materials: We use compostable, sustainable materials to reduce pollution and protect ecosystems.
  • Thoughtful Choices: We avoid harmful plastics and source responsibly to minimize our environmental impact.
  • Continuous Action: Through innovative design, zero-waste practices, and education, we empower our community to protect biodiversity.

Ethical Sourcing

At The Kind Pet, we ensure that our products are made with care for people, pets, and the planet.

  • Respect for Human Rights: We partner with suppliers who provide fair wages, safe workplaces, and uphold dignity for all workers.
  • No Child Labor: We strictly prohibit child labor and require suppliers to comply with international and local laws to protect children.
  • No Forced Labor: All work must be freely chosen. We do not tolerate any form of forced or coerced labor.
  • Accountability: We hold suppliers to our high ethical standards through regular monitoring and open communication.

Suppliers

After acquiring the brand Boba & Vespa in November 2023, The Kind Pet now manufactures our own line of pet toys with the same sustainable and low-waste materials. We have moved production to a WBENC woman-owned manufacturer based in St. Paul, Minnesota.

In our marketplace, we also like to support other brands with sustainable values (compostable, low waste, upcycled, etc) that are specifically sourced in Canada or the USA to not only reduce our carbon footprint, but to support local economies as well.

Packaging

Our goal is to ship your products with as little waste as possible, so that you can focus on enjoying time with your furry friend. Not worrying about your footprint.

Our packaging uses paper padded envelopes and cardboard boxes that are at least 80% recycled.

Shipping

We've partnered with Corso's Green Shipping Protection not only to help protect your package against loss, theft, or damage but to also offset the emissions of your order.

All emissions are offset with a carbon offsetting program from Cool Effect. 

As members of the Pet Sustainability Coalition, we're dedicated to creating a more sustainable pet industry.
