It looks like every grocery or convenience store offers a reusable shopping bag these days. Guess it shouldn’t be surprising that your pet store will have them too.

The PetSmart Charities® Reusable Shopping Bags ($2) are made from polypropylene that’s made from 20% recycled bottles and its tags are made of 100% recycled paper. These bags are 100% recyclable and can hold up to 40 pounds.

Each bag features artwork by Judy Fleenor and depicts images and stores of rescued pets.

The difference between these reusable shopping bags and others is the fact that 100% of the purchase price goes to PetSmart charities that helps the lives of homeless pets.
