Uniforms, Hoodies, Toys and More So Pets Can Join Their Parents to Root
on Favorite Teams
PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The start of football season means the beginning of many occasions for
tailgating among football fans. Whether fans are in parking lots across
America setting up grills and lawn chairs for some pre-game fun or
hosting a festive gathering at their homes, PetSmart’s new Tailgating
Collection ensures pets can get in on the game-day fun, right along with
their pet parents, with jerseys and other apparel, themed toys and
treats like BLUE™ “Stadium Snacks®” Touchdown Treats.
“With the football season underway, we want pet parents everywhere to
know we have a full range of game-day pet supplies to bring pets into
the fun of tailgating,” said Eran Cohen, chief customer experience
officer, PetSmart. “Our collection includes licensed jerseys, hoodies,
collars, leashes, toys and treats, as well as our Pet Expressions
stencil service*, where dogs can sport a temporary logo of their
favorite team and get in the game!”
Tailgating – Pet parents can outfit their pup in their favorite
team’s jersey
or hoodie, or keep dogs fashionably warm in a cozy knit
hat featuring a range of team logos! While pet parents and their
friends are grilling up pre-game fare, pets can have next best thing –
chew toys that look like the stuff he or she smells from the grill such
as steaks, hot dogs and burgers.

tasty portable snack, too.

alma matter or hometown team with toys! Tug toys that look like a
football field, plush logo footballs or the Top
