Pet Supplies Plus Retailers Celebrate 50 Years of KONG Dog Toys

In celebration of 50 years of KONG, Pet Supplies Plus is offering pet parents a month-long lineup of giveaways, community initiatives, in-store events and exclusive savings designed to support healthy enrichment for pets while giving back to local animal shelters.

Throughout August, Pet Supplies Plus stores will bring neighbors together to celebrate 50 years of KONG and highlight the importance of play in pets’ overall wellbeing. A campaign highlight will take place on August 15, when participating stores will host events that include free samples, a treat bar, a demonstration on creative ways to stuff a KONG Classic toy, and support local rescues through donations.

“We’re excited to celebrate this significant milestone with KONG, our stores and our neighbors,” said Chris Rowland, Chief Executive Officer of Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash. “KONG products have been helping to enrich dogs’ lives for fifty years and it’s our privilege to celebrate that through our in-store events, giveaways, and promotions that neighbors can participate in throughout the month.”

This campaign reinforces Pet Supplies Plus’ mission of providing pet parents with affordable, accessible products that support mental stimulation and safe play for their pets. It also reflects the strength of the brand’s retail partnerships that help ensure neighbors have the right options for their furry friends.

KONG was created in 1976 to encourage dogs to play with toys made of safe, durable rubber materials. These toys give dogs a fun outlet for their energetic nature, promoting positive behavior while providing mental stimulation and physical enrichment during play. KONG products are available at Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash stores nationwide, or online at the Pet Supplies Plus website.

Pet Supplies Plus has everything you need for your furry, scaly and feathery friends and offers a wide selection of natural and made-in-the-USA products. Pet Supplies Plus team members get to know their neighbors and pets by name at every store. Full-service grooming, self-serve pet wash stations and fresh bakery treats are also available in-store at many locations. To help keep your pets happy and healthy, neighbors can also fill pet prescriptions online and receive home delivery for quality medications and specialty diets. Whether shopping in-store or online, choosing local is easy.
