Our Impact

Pets – We believe that all pets deserve a warm place to sleep – including those who have yet to find their forever homes. Not only are we committed to designing safe, practical and eco-friendly pet products, we are also committed to helping those in need. Through our Warm Bellies Initiative, in partnership with the Petfinder Foundation, one bed purchased on our website = one donated to a shelter in need. We’re also proud to contribute in-kind product donations to rescues around the country, and participate in team volunteer days at our local shelters each year.

People – Our team is like a family here at P.L.A.Y., so we make it a priority to pay all our employees equitably and fairly. Yearly performance reviews are conducted using a transparent measure and in addition to a competitive base salary, employees are entitled to a yearly discretionary bonus, generous paid time off program, sick leave and health benefits. In addition, each year we award three high school seniors with our Scholars Helping Collars Scholarship with the goal of raising awareness and promoting animal protection among young people.

Planet – We are serious about helping the environment and go above and beyond to employ greener business practices. Through our PlanetFill® stuffing made from recycled plastic bottles, we’ve saved over 14 million bottles from entering the landfills! In addition, our FSC certified packaging and renewable energy in our HQ have helped us become Gold Certified by Green America’s Green Business Certification program.

We’re also proud to partner with the  International Fund for Animal Welfare  to give back a portion of our proceeds from all animal-themed toy collections in order to support its efforts in animal welfare and conservation.
