12 Pet Care Loyalty Programs: Earn Rewards for Taking Care of Your Best Friend

My dogs, Geeta, Nix and Reign, are my world!

I don’t even think twice when it comes to their health and well-being.

I will spend every last dime I have on them if necessary.

That said, for a lot of people living on a tight budget, the cost of taking care of their pet can be a little troublesome.

So, by using rewards programs, you can save a few dollars here and there.

They are free to use anyway, you might as well use them.

Here are some of the best pet loyalty programs from online and brick & mortar pet stores and brands:

1. PetSmart

• Name: PetPerks
• Official site: https://www.petperks.com/

PetSmart has their own loyalty program referred to as PetPerks.

You should register your PetPerks account online. While it is not required, you get additional money-saving offers that won’t come in the mail. You can also gain access to coupons generated especially for your pet.

Also, for signing up, you’ll get access to:

• Articles regarding pet care, videos and how-to guides as well as expert pet care advice.
• Ability to access prior purchases – up to 12 months – so you can keep track of what you buy and how often.
