SUNRISE, Florida – Since Alzoo Pet Products (AB7 America, Inc.) began, it has operated based on principles that best serve its employees, the customers (and their pets) and the planet. For years, Alzoo has considered the environmental and social impact in every facet of its business model as it delivers natural pet products for everything from repellants to calming and grooming. In an exciting step forward in transparency and sustainability, AB7 America has officially changed its status to become a Benefit Corporation.
