Smooch Your Pooch at PETCO Valentine's Pet Party, Best Kiss Contest
 Nothing says "I love you" like a big slobbery kiss from your favorite furry Valentine. Pet parents can smooch their pooch, cuddle their cat or hug their hamster at PETCO's Valentine's Pet Party at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9.
The event, sponsored by Hill's Science Diet, will be held at PETCO locations nationwide. Festivities will include a best pet kiss contest, where pets and their parents can show their best public display of affection (for furry friends only). The top smoochers will be awarded a bag of Science Diet Oral Care Dog or Cat Food and a tin of Yip Yap breath fresheners for dogs. Following the contest, pet parents can return the favor and decorate a heart-shaped cookie for their special friend.
At the event, attendees will pose with their pet and get a free commemorative Valentine's Day photo frame, pets can "personalize" a Valentine's card with their very own paw-print "autograph" and PETCO's groomers will treat pets to a Berry Love spritz and stylish red or pink hair ribbons.
In addition, PETCO offers the following ideas to make Valentine's Day extra special for the love of your life - your pet:
- Dress up your pet for the occasion in a red, pink or rhinestone collar, heart sweater, or flirty T- shirt with sayings such as, "My Mommy is Single" or "Dog Run Flirt."
- Traditional Valentine's Day gifts such as chocolate and flowers can be harmful to your pet when ingested. Rather than exposing them to a serious health threat, give them a pet-friendly treat, such as cookies from PETCO’s treat bar or one of PETCO's exclusive Valentine's dog or cat toys, available in stores nationwide and on PETCO.com.
- Treat your pet to a Berry Love Valentine Spa Works in one of PETCO's grooming salons. The grooming package is designed to clean even the dirtiest pets while creating a clean, luxurious coat and leaving the skin and coat shiny and smelling "berry" great.
- Valentine's Day is special for small animals, too. PETCO offers heart-shaped glass gravel accents to spruce up your finned friend’s home and colored pet bedding that is perfect for pampered guinea pigs, hamsters, rats and mice.
- Looking for unconditional love? Visit PETCO's Think Adoption First kiosk or PETCO's online adoption partner, petfinder.com, to find adoptable pets in your neighborhood to steal your heart.
