PetSmart Celebrates 40 Years of Commitment to Pets

This month marks a significant milestone for PetSmart, as the company celebrates four decades of unwavering dedication to pets and their owners. Founded in 1986, PetSmart has evolved into a premier destination for pet parents, significantly impacting how pets are perceived within the family unit. Today, nearly 97% of pet owners treat their pets as integral family members, a transformation that PetSmart has played a pivotal role in shaping.

History and Evolution

PetSmart began its journey in the 1980s, opening its first two stores in Phoenix, Arizona. Initially named PetFood Warehouse, the company not only switched its name but also unveiled a new logo, setting the stage for its future success. By the 1990s, PetSmart had expanded rapidly, opening its 500th store and stretching its reach into Canada. During this time, PetSmart Charities was established to help homeless pets find loving homes, showcasing PetSmart’s commitment to community and animal welfare.

Entering the 2000s, PetSmart opened the first PetsHotel, providing a home-like environment for pets during their owner’s absences. Customers could also take advantage of the new loyalty program, which delivered substantial savings. The 2010s were marked by innovative shopping experiences, including Autoship, which simplified restocking essential pet supplies. By the end of the decade, the company had opened its 1,500th store, proving its successful expansion and customer loyalty.

Celebrating the Present

This year, PetSmart is thrilled to recognize its impressive journey with exciting offers throughout June. These special promotions are designed to thank pet parents for their continued support. Here are some of the exclusive deals available for Treats Rewards members:

• - Earn 4,000 Treats Rewards points for purchases of $40+ until June 14, representing $8 in savings.

Jesica Duarte, PetSmart's Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, emphasized the company’s gratitude. “The past four decades of caring for pets would not have been possible without our community of passionate pet parents and the expertise our associates bring to stores every day,” she noted.

Offering a wide array of products, including food, toys, grooming supplies, and veterinary services, the brand has cemented its place at the heart of pet ownership.
