PetSmart Unveils Monthly In-Store Celebrations for Pet Birthdays and Gotcha Days

Celebrate Your Furry Friends: PetSmart's Exciting New Event

Pet lovers, rejoice! PetSmart has just made it easier to celebrate your beloved pets with their new monthly in-store events specifically designed for pet birthdays and gotcha days. These celebrations, known as the Birthday + Gotcha Bash, are bound to bring joy not just to your furry friends but also to you, the pet parents. With a growing trend evident in recent PetSmart research, it seems that a majority of pet owners—81% to be precise—are already celebrating these special days for their pets, but many feel they want to do even more. This new initiative by PetSmart aims to fill that desire and turn these significant milestones into memorable events.

Each month, every PetSmart location across the country will transform into a festive hub where you and your pets can enjoy a day filled with activities. Inviting you to join in the fun, these events will feature a variety of offerings including complimentary treats, stimulating games, and even a special $5 birthday discount coupon exclusively for attendees. The idea is to create a joyful tradition that enhances the already cherished moments of your pet's special days.

Bradley Breuer, PetSmart's Vice President of Marketing, expressed the company’s enthusiasm about this initiative, stating, "Every pet deserves to be celebrated, especially on their birthday or gotcha day. PetSmart's Birthday + Gotcha Bash celebrations are designed to make those special days unforgettable, turning milestones into joyful moments. We’re excited to help make every pet feel like the guest of honor."

In addition to monthly celebrations, PetSmart is launching the Ultimate Party Animal Contest to kick off these events. This exciting competition will allow pet parents a chance to win a unique and unforgettable party designed specifically for their furry friend. Statistics indicate that nearly 73% of pet parents feel that their pets understand when they are being celebrated. The contest runs until October 14, 2025, and encourages pet owners to visit PetSmartPartyAnimal.com for entry details.

The grand prize includes an extraordinary celebration planned by Amanda Shaw, a renowned pet party expert, while five lucky runners-up will receive 250,000 PetSmart Treats Rewards points—equivalent to $500 worth of savings.
