PetSmart offers several freebies and promotional programs for pet owners through its loyalty initiatives and special events. These opportunities range from birthday surprises for pets to annual members month rewards and monthly in-store birthday parties. The information available is derived from deal websites and promotional announcements, which detail how consumers can access these offers.
PetSmart Treats Loyalty Program
PetSmart Treats is the retailer's free loyalty program, available for sign-up in-store or online. Membership is free and provides access to exclusive discounts, deals, and the ability to earn points on purchases. According to the source data, members earn 10 points for every $1 spent at PetSmart. These points can be redeemed for products or services.
A key benefit of the PetSmart Treats program is the birthday surprise for a member's pet. During the pet's birthday month, members receive a free birthday surprise, which is typically a $3 off coupon. This coupon can be used to obtain free treats. This offer is exclusive to PetSmart Treats members.
PetSmart Treats Members Month
Once a year, PetSmart hosts a special promotion called "PetSmart Treats Members Month," which occurs in March and extends into April. This event provides enhanced rewards and freebies for loyalty members. During this period, members can earn Treats Points at an accelerated rate—two to five times faster than normal. The promotion also includes a sweepstakes with the chance to win up to $2,000 in rewards, which is equivalent to one million Treats points.
Specific offers available during Members Month include: - A $10 reward for spending $50 or more. - The opportunity to earn 5,000 Treats points (worth $10) when spending $50. - The ability to earn 2,500 Treats points (worth $5) when making an in-store purchase on the same day as a treat purchase.
Activation of these Members Month offers is required before shopping, either in-store or online. The source data notes that PetSmart's points conversion is effectively 2% cash back (1,000 points equal a $2 coupon). While this is less than Petco Rewards' 3% cash back, the bonus offers and freebies during Members Month can provide significant value.
Additional Members Month Benefits
- Free VIPP Status Upgrade: Members who adopt a pet during PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week can receive a free upgrade to VIPP status. Normally, VIPP status requires $1,000+ in annual spend.
- Custom Shutterfly Photo Book: Members can claim a free custom Shutterfly photo book, valued at $37.48 in 2025. This offer requires a Treats membership. The photo book is not entirely free; members must cover taxes and shipping fees, with the cheapest shipping option reported as $8.99. The photo book does not need to be pet-related. The promo code for this offer is typically sent via email; if not received, members can ask a store associate for it.
Free In-Store Pet Birthday Parties
PetSmart hosts free monthly events to celebrate pets' birthdays or "gotcha days" (for adopted pets). These in-store events are available at locations nationwide and include free treats, games, and a $5 off coupon. The events are designed for the pet owner community to celebrate their pets.
Specific event dates mentioned in the source data include: - October 4, 2025 - November 8, 2025 - December 7, 2025
Grand Prize Sweepstakes
A promotional sweepstakes is associated with these birthday events. Consumers who enter via the provided link before October 14, 2025, are entered to win a grand prize. The prize is a custom Birthday or Gotcha Day celebration designed by The Barkday Planner, valued at over $5,000.
Important Considerations and Limitations
The source data for these offers comes from deal websites and promotional announcements, not directly from PetSmart's official terms of service. Therefore, the information should be considered a report on available promotions rather than a primary source. Consumers are advised to verify all details, including offer availability, expiration dates, and specific terms, directly with PetSmart or through its official channels before making plans.
The availability of specific freebies, such as the birthday surprise coupon or the Shutterfly photo book, may be subject to change or may have geographic or membership restrictions not fully detailed in the provided sources. The free birthday party events are described as occurring monthly, but the specific dates listed are for late 2025; consumers should check for current event schedules.
Conclusion
PetSmart provides multiple avenues for consumers to access freebies and promotional offers through its loyalty program and special events. The PetSmart Treats program is central to receiving a pet birthday surprise and accessing enhanced rewards during the annual Members Month in March. Monthly in-store birthday parties offer free treats, games, and coupons, with a related sweepstakes providing a chance to win a significant prize. While the information indicates these opportunities exist, consumers should rely on official PetSmart communications for the most current and accurate details before participating.
