Something spooky this way comes… and it smells like treats! 👻🐾
Swing by for a howlin’ Halloween experience you won't forget!
Whether you're stopping in for a quick sniff or planning to haunt the aisles for a bit, we've got frightfully fun things brewing for both dogs and their humans. Dress up your four-legged friend (and yourself!) in your best costumes, come on in and enjoy some tricks, treats, and wagging tails!
Here’s a sneak peek of what’s happening:
🧡 Pumpkin Paws Challenge – Complete our fun mini tasks like sniffing out spooky surprises, snapping a photo, and sampling a treat to earn a special reward.
🎃 “Gourd or Gross?” Flavor Roulette – Can you guess which Halloween-themed flavor your pup loves most? Take a chance and win a free boo bag!
🦴 Boo Bag Builder – Choose your own adventure (and treats!) with a DIY mini Halloween goodie bag – free with purchase or just $5.
📸 Photo Booth Fun – Capture your pup’s best spooky look at our Halloween-themed photo corner — costumes highly encouraged!
Don't miss your chance to be part of this paw-sitively spooky celebration!
Did you know? Dogs are welcome in our store!
