The event includes professional photo opportunities with Chance the Mascot. Pet parents can tag photos with #petsmartparties for social media bragging rights. Free yard signs encourage neighbors to welcome pets for trick-or-treating tonight.
“Dogs will be able to learn tricks for treats, and pet parents can fill a treat bag for their pet, at PetSmart’s exclusive Trick or Treat stations.”
This nationwide event transforms every store into a Halloween destination. Cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even fish tanks get the spooky treatment. Pet costumes dominate shelves with dinosaurs, sharks, and unicorns available today.
Why This Matters: Pet Parents Want Shared Experiences
You’re not alone if your pet is part of your Halloween plans. Pet parents increasingly treat their animals like family members. They want inclusive experiences for everyone at home.

The free costume contests and photo opportunities create shareable moments. Pet parents leave with memories and prizes. Kids see their pets truly valued and celebrated equally.
Promoting pet adoption remains central to PetSmart’s mission. These festive events build community around animal welfare. They showcase adoption opportunities while celebrating pet ownership broadly.
