Pet-first digital holiday guide, pet wish
lists, wish list contest and fundraising calendar for pets in need
help create holiday magic for pets and devoted pet lovers
MARKHAM,
ON, Nov. 1, 2024 /CNW/ - Pet Valu,
Canada's leading specialty
retailer of pet food and pet-related supplies, is inspiring devoted
pet lovers to imagine and create a holiday season filled with
magical, memorable moments with their pets. This month Pet Valu is
launching a digital holiday guide, pet wish lists and a wish list
contest along with a fundraising calendar to help pets in need.
"When it comes to celebrating holidays with our pets, the magic
is truly in the moments so we're providing inspiration and support
for these festive moments," says Idan
Driman, Vice President, Marketing at Pet Valu. "Every family
has their own holiday traditions that they cherish. We want to show
them different, fun, pet-friendly ways they can involve their pets,
who are part of their family, in these much-loved traditions."
Pet Valu's digital holiday guide is a must-have resource for
this holiday season. The 15-page, curated guide of expert tips,
holiday essentials and wish list inspirations is designed to create
tail-wag-worthy and purr-fect moments throughout the holiday
season. The free guide includes how devoted pet lovers can dress
their pets to impress, spend quality time with their pets in and
outdoors, as well as how their pet can celebrate with food all
season long, from holiday feasts to festive treats. It also covers
holiday safety and wellness, including how to avoid over
stimulation. The guide is available at
https://www.petvalu.ca/flyer.
Building wish lists are part of many families' holiday
preparations so, this year, Pet Valu is providing the opportunity
to create holiday wish lists for pets. Pet parents can make a list
of gifts their pet would like to receive or give and share it with
friends and family members. Wish lists can be conveniently built
and shared online through Pet Valu's Your Rewards™.
"Giving holiday gifts to pets continues to be very popular.
However, if you're not a direct family member and don't know the
pet's size, preferences and what they already own, it can be
difficult to find the perfect gift," says Driman. "Our new pet wish
list eliminates the stress of shopping and ensures the pet receives
exactly what they want and need."
To help spread inspiration for magical holiday moments with
pets, Pet Valu is running a #MomentsOfMagic Wishlist Contest from
November 4 – 30, 2024. Pet parents
are asked to imagine what they need to make the most magical,
memorable holiday for their pet and to create a Pinterest wish list
in their pet's name with all the items. All participants have the
chance to be randomly selected to win a $500 CAD Pet Valu gift card that can be used to
purchase their pet's wish list. For details on how to enter, visit

Tis the season for giving and giving back and Pet Valu is
supporting pets in need over the holidays. Starting today, Pet
Valu's Companions for Change™ calendars are available at all
Pet Valu stores across Canada,
excluding Quebec, for a
give-what-you-can donation. The calendar features 13 photos of
Canadian pets taken by their pet parents. More than 43,000 entries
were received for the calendar and the winners were determined by
public vote – nearly 5.5 million votes were cast during the 15-day
voting period. One hundred per cent of the donations go to Pet
Valu's Companions for Change™ initiatives which have raised
more than $31 million to support
Canadian animal rescues and charities across Canada since 2010.
Pet Valu will also be raising additional funds for its
Companions for Change™ initiatives by inviting shoppers to
round up their purchases to the nearest dollar on Giving Tuesday,
Tuesday December 3rd.
