How Our Partnerships Work
Our partnerships are individually structured to create a mutually beneficial program that best meets the company’s objectives while supporting our mission.

How can my business best support PetSmart Charities?
Your organization can best support PetSmart Charities through a relationship that is multi-faceted and integrated into your philanthropic, marketing and communications strategies. Partners provide financial support through sponsorship, a philanthropic gift, cause marketing, consumer or employee fundraising. In addition to supporting PetSmart Charities financially, your organization can promote our efforts on-pack, online and within other communication outreach. We will work with your organization to customize a partnership that best achieves your business objectives while delivering upon PetSmart Charities’ mission to support the human-animal bond by connecting people and pets. Partners that wish to participate in commercial co-ventures where a percentage of the product sales price is donated to charity may be required to register the promotion in certain. This is a legal requirement and we recommend consultation by the company’s legal department for compliance regulations.
