PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nothing beats the heat during the dog days of summer quite like ice cream, so why shouldn’t furry friends get in on the fun? PetSmart, Inc. is excited to kick off National Ice Cream Month today by announcing that on Sunday, July 19 – National Ice Cream Day – pet parents can bring their panting pups to any PetSmart PetsHotel location to receive a four-ounce complimentary serving of dog-safe ice cream. This delicious frozen treat, called Treat Time, is traditionally offered as an add-on service to sweeten pets’ stays at the PetSmart PetsHotel whether they are there overnight or just for a few hours of Doggie Day CampTM. Pet parents can visit http://pets.petsmart.com/services/petshotel to find a local participating PetSmart PetsHotel.
“The PetSmart PetsHotel add-on services are designed to provide extra enjoyment to your pet’s stay, and there’s no better way for your pet to cool down on a warm summer day than with our pet-safe ice cream,” said Cory Zignego, director, PetSmart, PetsHotel Services. “We’re excited to invite all pet parents to stop in with their fur kids for a sample on National Ice Cream Day this year.”
The complimentary ice cream samples will be available, while supplies last, along with a PetSmart PetsHotel open house on Sunday, July 19, from noon to 4 p.m. at all PetSmart store locations with a PetSmart PetsHotel in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
