PetSmart honors milestone anniversary with exclusive deals that help pet parents experience more joy with pets

PHOENIX, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For 40 years, PetSmart has been dedicated to doing anything for pets. That commitment has made PetSmart the go-to destination for today's pet parent. From adoptions and birthday parties to holiday celebrations and everyday moments in between, PetSmart has been there as pets evolved from backyard companions to full-fledged family members with holiday cards and social media accounts to prove it. This month, PetSmart celebrates its pet community with special deals that help pet parents experience more joy with pets.

"The past four decades of caring for pets would not have been possible without our community of passionate pet parents and the expertise our associates bring to stores every day," said Jesica Duarte, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at PetSmart. "We're proud to have earned the trust of generations of pet parents and grateful to them for being part of our 40-year journey."

Anything for Pets, from 1986 to Now
Today, nearly 97% of pet parents consider their pets part of the family, a shift PetSmart has helped shape over the past 40 years through innovations, products, services and experiences that support the evolving relationship between pets and people. From food, toys and apparel for every occasion to grooming, training, veterinary care and boarding, PetSmart has helped pet parents care for and celebrate their pets through every stage of life. Here's a snapshot of the journey:
