Class is in session—for the pups! PetSmart recently rolled out a new 6-week training program for dogs called "Brain Games" where your furry best friend gets to take part in skill-building and smart behaviors like hide-and-seek, reading cue cards, learning to count, identifying colors, and more while pet parents gain deeper insight into how their dog thinks. This class is designed to help dogs develop a physical language they can use to communicate with their owners...how cool is that? Learn more about the "Brain Games" class in the link below! 🤓

Check out this awesome bit from the latest PetSmart Pride At Work Newsletter—PAWFYI. 🐾🌈 "GLSEN is a national organization that works to ensure all students have a safe environment in which to learn. But what about when schools are holding virtual classes because of the pandemic? Their mission hasn’t changed, but their methods have. Much of their work is done through Gay-Straight Alliances and GLSEN has been working remotely with them to ensure that LGBTQ+ students have the resources they need, no matter where their classroom is. GLSEN was the recipient of a $100,000 donation from PetSmart earlier this year. To find your local chapter, visit glsen.org."
To all of our PetSmart associates—THANK YOU. We, and the pets and pet parents that come into our stores, salons, and PetsHotels are so lucky to have each and every one of you within #LifeAtPetSmart. 🐾 ❤️ #ForTheLoveOfPets

The number of pet guardians needing help has skyrocketed during COVID-19, with individuals affected by job loss and other financial stresses. PetSmart Charities of Canada has worked hard #fortheloveofpets and people to help keep families and their pets together during the pandemic. These efforts include a $55,000 grant to the B.C. SPCA pet food-bank outreach program—enabling the expansion of its COVID-19 outreach response for at-risk and financially insecure individuals. “Sadly, we were seeing cases where people felt they had no option but to surrender a beloved pet to the SPCA because they were struggling financially,” Marcie Moriarty of the B.C. SPCA said. “We want to do everything in our power to support these people so that they would not have to make such an agonizing choice. Our goal is to keep families and their pets together.”
It's National Pet Bird Day—and to celebrate the occasion we'd like to introduce a bird-owner that's part of #LifeAtPetSmart, Cecilia! 🦜🐤🐦🐥 Cecilia adopted Captain Jack (formerly known as Boo Radley) after he arrived at PetSmart Leominster. In these photos, they were getting ready to head home together. It's hard to tell who was more excited! 🥳 Captain Jack the love bird is the newest member of Cecilia's flock family. His new siblings are a pair of cockatiels named Bill & Addie, a pair of canaries named Gemini and Athena as well as 7 parakeets! Sounds like the best nest ever! 😊 💙 #ForTheLoveOfPets #PeopleOfPetSmart #AssociateSpotlight #NationalPetBirdDay
