Tractor Supply Invites ‘Pets of All Kinds’ to Pet Appreciation Week

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Sept. 11, 2017 -- If your backyard is home to a pet pig, dog, cat or goat, mark your calendar to visit a Tractor Supply Company store Sept. 13-17 for Pet Appreciation Week and help support local pets.

Pet Appreciation Week, the retailer’s largest pet food and supply sale of the year, is an annual event to celebrate pets of all kinds and the families who care for them, according to Phil Reiter, vice president of local store and national marketing for Tractor Supply.

This year Tractor Supply, the nation’s largest rural lifestyle retailer, is kicking off Pet Appreciation Week on Sept. 13 with a pet supply drive to support pet and animal groups that partner with stores. From Sept. 13-17, customers can drop off new, sealed food, toys, cleaning supplies and other essential pet accessories such as beds, scratching posts, leashes and bowls to be donated to rescues and shelters in their community.

Tractor Supply works in more than 1,600 communities across the nation to support a variety of local organizations dedicated to caring for pets of all kinds, like dogs and cats, but also pets such as goats, pigs, horses and rabbits.

“At Tractor Supply, we know that not all pets have paws, and we’re honored to be a pet destination for all the great pets that live out here,” said Reiter. “Our approach takes our customer's lifestyle into consideration and we support organizations that rescue, shelter and home domestic animals of every kind.”

On Saturday, Sept. 16, many Tractor Supply stores will host Pet Appreciation Week community events featuring activities, such as pet adoptions, demonstrations on pet nutrition and free Greenies™ dental dog treats for customers while supplies last. Contact your local Tractor Supply store for details concerning events and other planned activities.

Additionally, Tractor Supply customers will enjoy discounts on a full line of products for pets, small animals and livestock, including items necessary for their health, care, growth and containment.
