purchased items through PetSmart’s free and convenient in-store pickup
service offered at all 1,450-plus PetSmart stores across the U.S.
According to a recent survey commissioned by PetSmart and conducted by
Wakefield Research, more than 80 percent of dog owners in the U.S. have
bought their pup a present for the holidays. Since last-minute shopping
tends to be the norm for many, PetSmart’s Fetch It Days help
assure gifts are under the tree for pets and pet lovers in time for
Christmas.
Shoppers can pick up their items during store hours the day they order,
or the next day. Packages can be fetched two hours after being ordered
online, and shoppers will receive email confirmation when their order is
ready for store pickup. With fetch-it options between Dec. 21-24, pet
parents have ample time to wrap and place gifts under the tree for their
four-legged furry family members right up to Christmas Eve.
“We love our pets and believe they deserve holiday gifts too. With home
deliveries by various carriers experiencing holiday-rush challenges, we
decided to expand PetSmart Fetch It Days to four days,” said Joshua
Kanter, PetSmart’s executive vice president of marketing and customer
experience. “Fetch It Days offers the best of both worlds for our pet
parents – the ease of shopping online or on-the-go via a mobile device
and then the ability to simply swing by the store to quickly fetch their
gifts in time for Christmas.”
PetSmart has all the gifts topping pets’ wish lists this year* including
festive pet apparel for the all-important holiday family photo, toys,
feasting treats and more.
This Season’s Top Pet Gifts:
Toys make the classic holiday gift! Disney® “Tsum Tsum” toys
are at PetSmart this holiday season. This popular plush human toy is
now available for the first time for pets. These lovable characters –
including Eeyore,
Stitch, Mickey
Mouse and Tigger
– come in a variety of sizes and are complete with squeakers to
enhance pet engagement. They make a great pet stocking stuffer!
Food-themed pet toys have been a trend all year, and are also popular
for the holiday season including this fast-food
holiday four-pack.
Tech gadgets are always a crowd pleaser. An exclusive at
PetSmart, the pet tech G.O.A.T.
Wireless Bluetooth Speakers make a great gift for pets and their
humans. These tiny speakers come in four pet-themed shapes, like this spotted
dog, and are easy to use. They include a Bluetooth connect, stream
music and include a built-in microphone, selfie remote button, LED
light and instructions for an easy app download. The speaker securely
clips to any collar, leash or pet parent apparel.
Pet treats are the perfect holiday indulgence. The PetSmart
treat assortment ranges from savory to sweet including this holiday
snack tray featuring cheese, sausage, sweet potato crackers and
cranberries and the giant turkey
leg chew. Sweet treats include the frosted dog biscuit Ho
Ho Ho cookies and the holiday cookie assortment package with
delectable peppermint
cookie dog treats that look so good people might even take a bite.
New collar classics. A festive holiday collar is a great pet
gift for the holiday season. This collar features a jingle
bell so pets can create a delightful jingle as they prance and
play. This ED
Ellen DeGeneres collar features a chic checkered design with a pop
of red.
Pet beds. A new holiday-themed pet bed is the perfect gift for
your pet and you! Choose from a festive cuddler
style featuring a colorful string of lights or this unique and
cozy ski
lodge pup-tent bend from the ED Ellen DeGeneres Winter Collection,
exclusive to PetSmart.
Fun apparel and décor includes these “Santa’s
Little Yelper” PJs and this festive elf
sweater. The fun doesn’t stop at cats and dogs. PetSmart has more
than half a dozen offerings for guinea pigs including an elf
costume or reindeer
sweater. For our friends with fins, choose from a variety of
festive tank ornaments for your fish like a snorkeling
Santa.
Gifts that give back. Items in PetSmart’s Holiday Philanthropic
Collection include seven classic collectible plush toys, Chance,
Lucky & Friends, as well as 12 pet-themed throws with sayings
like “I
Wine, She Whines” and “Drinking
Buddies.” Also included in this collection are gift cards that
give back. PetSmart will donate 10 percent of sales of these items to
PetSmart Charities to help pets in need. Last year, this program
raised $585,000 for the nonprofit organization, and local stores
conducted toy drives with the plush toys, collecting more than a
million toys to give to children in need in local areas. This toy
drive effort continues this holiday season.
Calming solutions. The holidays can be hectic for people and
their pets. PetSmart offers a number of calming solutions such as the Thundershirt,
which calms pups with consistent pressure on their body like a
soothing hug; collars and diffusers that release pheromones similar to
what female dogs release when nursing their new puppies; as well as Licks
Zen and other chews with natural supplements that deliver calming
effects.
